Where to get a mold? Custom Molded Ear Plugs for Music

[kingpinofdisks]

Thanks to the San Diego Tech Daze, I am looking at purchasing a pair of the Ear Inc Competition Sports Monitors (http://earinc.com/p2-music-competition.php).

 

Where can I have an ear mold made inexpensivly?

Since you are new, I'll forgive you for not buying from our own Arizona Al...

 

You can make your own with a kit from a drug store very reasonably. Or, you can go to any audiologist who sells hearing aids. Not particularly cheap-around $90...

 

Cheers,

Steve

Chris,

 

Look for a local Miracle Ear dealer. I had mine done for about $20.

My local hearing aid specialist did molds for free if I bought the in-ear speakers from her. She also didn't add any markup to the prices charged by the manufacturer. I think she assumes (probably correctly, I'm afraid), that even a motorcyclist who always wear earplugs will probably wind up with hearing aids eventually. I'm genetically predisposed towqard hearing loss, too. I doubt I'll still be living in this town, but she doesn't know that.

I've had them done a couple times from the same hearing aid place. The guy charged $20 one time and $20 for two the second. It depends on how busy they are. Ask before you have them do it.

I called E.A.R. (800-525-2690) and they gave me the name and number of a lady that was close to home. She works directly with E.A.R., so no hassels if they don't fit right.

You might give them a call and see if they have someone close to you.

I think it was a Miracle Ear at the Sear's store that did mine for free. The audiologist wouldn't even take money for the cost of their materials. I did write a wonderful thank you letter to the manager.

Seems some of the Miracle Ears are run by corporate and some are franchises. Guess I just lucked out that this one was corporate and they had no idea what to charge for just the injection mold without a full ear exam.
