I wonder does anyone know where can I make ear impressions in Hanoi, Vietnam? I have no clue where to find and how to explain what I want them to do for me.

Erh...I  just want to get my custom IEMs as soon as possible. I simply can't wait until the moment when I will move to the USA to do all of these things.

Where did you get yours, I live in SF and currently I'm looking around. A place close to where I live called Union Square Hearing charge $50 and I called Musicians Hearing Services, she said $100 because I'm sending my impression to some company she doesn't know about.

 
Mine were done by Kathy Peck:

Forgive her website, it's in desperate need of some love. She did a fantastic job on mine. No discomfort during the impressions and the resulting IEMs from Heir are a fantastic fit (thanks to her and the Wizard). I highly recommend her.

I went to :

Ave. Hearing Aid Center
Nancy Taitz
4293 California St.
San Francisco, CA
United States

415-464-2023

She's really good, though not the cheapest.

I almost went with her as well. In the end it's because Kathy was the first to get back to me with a price I liked. Nancy got back soon after, but by that time I had my appointment.
 
I don't remember the price. Around $50 or so, if memory serves, but don't quote me on that. The cool part was talking to her about some of the people she's worked with in her careers, people she's done impressions for and so forth. Seeing a picture her standing next to Pete Townshend was pretty awesome.

Nancy's also the one who did, does the impressions for the past two Bay Area meets.

Funny, I nearly called Kathy but then I went to the meet last year and got the impressions there.

you should send the pic to the company that is going to do the custom... they can fix some of the flaws but not all, so you should make sure these are actually usable...

I have been chatting via PM's with him, I also told him to send a pic to make sure they are okay.

Thanks guys, yeah I did send them off to InEarZ but look at this second pic, the one on the right it looks like was pulled and scraped off an important area of detail.  Think I'm going to go get that side re-done....

Just a quick update.  I sent a couple pics to InEarZ and they stated this is a common issue and that it should not be a problem so I am sending them as-is.  Could be better; Should be fine.

I feel your pain - I'm in HCMC and I'm not sure where to go. I may go to FV hospital since they have an audiology clinic, but I have no idea if I can get a good quality impression there. I'll probably go to Kool Audio (a hi-fi shop in HCMC) and ask the owner where he had his done since I know he has JH13s and you could order JH products through his shop up until recently.

These question should be asked on local audio forums, since as far as I know there aren't many Vietnamese members on head-fi
