1 ] RECEIVER - A receiver mold is generally used to mount the receiver of a body aid. This earmold fills all the contours of the external ear for a tight seal. Available in both hard and soft materials. |
|
1T ] RECEIVER W/ TUBE - This is the same full bodied earmold as a receiver mold. A tube is used instead of a snap ring. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 ] FULL SHELL - A full shell earmold is similar to a receiver mold taken one step further. The receiver plate area of the full shell mold has been belled out for cosmetic reasons. The quality acoustic seal and design allows the full shell to work in all cases. |
|
3 ] HALF SHELL - A half shell earmold is recommended for use by patients who are troubled with reduced dexterity. The top portion of the earmold has been removed creating ease in insertion and removal. The half shell mold still gives a good acoustic seal as well as good retention in the ear. |

4 ] CANAL - The canal style earmold is quite appealing cosmetically. The use of our P.S. 2000 material will aid in retention and seal. A long canal is essential in this style of ear mold. |
|
4L ] CANAL W/ LOK - This canal style mold has an additional lower concha rim for extra retention. The added rim also simplifies the insertion and removal of the mold. |

|
5 ] SKELETON - The cosmetics of the skeleton mold make it our most popular style. The center of the concha has been removed, leaving a thin rim. This allows the skeleton style mold to be cosmetically concealed and still allow for good retention. |
|
5A ] 3/4 SKELETON - The 3/4 skeleton is exactly the same as the skeleton mold with the exception of the concha rim. In this version, the concha rim has been reduced for pinna shapes that may make insertion and removal somewhat difficult. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5A ] SEMI-SKELETON - In this style most of the concha rim has been removed to facilitate insertion. This is important in cases of reduced dexterity or extremely hard ear texture and is cosmetically appealing. |
|
2Flex ] FLEX-IN MOLD - Great for problem fittings in which mandibular movement causes problems with the seal and/or comfort. The aperture of the mold is hollowed out allowing it to “flex-in” with the changing contours of the ear canal during jaw movement. Available in full shell, half shell, and canal style molds. Specify “Flex-In FS” for full shell, “Flex-In HS” for half shell and “Flex-in” for canal style. ONLY available in P.S. 2000. |

|
2P ] POWER MOLD - The canal portion of the power mold is small. It is designed just large enough to accommodate the tubing, therefore, reducing any feedback caused by jaw movement. |
|
2HP ] HOLLOW POINT - Like Flex-In molds, the hollow point is great for mandibular movement. The tip of the canal is hollowed out allowing it to flex in with jaw movement. Because the tip of the mold is bored out there is also a slight increase in the high frequencies. This mold is only available in P.S. 2000. |
