The Procedure For Aural (Ear) Impression Taking Is As Follows:

Before having an impression, the auditory canal and ear drum have to be inspected by  qualified personnel such as a Registered Hear Aid Audiologist.

If you suffer from ear irritations or have a perforation of the ear drum which should be seen on inspection of the Auditory Canal (if not found out by a short consultation), an impression must not be taken.

In cases of excessive hairs and/or excessive cerumen, otherwise known as ear wax in the Auditory Canal, it will first need to be cleaned through a process of wax and/or hair removal by a Registered Nurse, GP, or personnel who holds a certificate to conduct the wax removal procedure.

In order to protect the Ear Drum an Impression pad or Oto-Block has to be placed at the end of the External Auditory Canal in front of the Ear Drum before the impression is taken.

Impression materials consist of two components and both components of the impression material are pressed onto a mixing plate, the hand or mixed in a special (mixing) gun. Both components are quickly kneaded with a spatula or the fingers (when using the hands) until a homogenous colour is achieved.

Due to hygenic reasons the mixing with the hands is only recommended after washing ones hands, or using a hand sanitiser and in some cases the mixing with gloves can be used but not latex gloves!

Once the mixture is uniform in colour, the kneaded mass is filled into the Auditory Canal and into the Concha.

After the material has set (which can take between 2 to 3 minutes) the impression can be removed from the ear. After impression taking, the Auditory Canal has to be inspected again.

The end result should be a perfect mould or impression of your ear to which can be used to manufacture any of the above bulleted points.

And that concludes how you go through an Ear Impression Consultation.

Note: In case of ear irritations, perforated eardrums or excessive wax, you should always consult your GP before commencing with any mould or hearing aid fitting.

Welcome to the:

 Present Moment Solutions™ ‘Hear For Health’
Advice Bureau:

"Maintenance Tips Part 2"

Follow These Guidelines
To Keep Your Hearing Aids In Good Operating Condition.

which are:

Cleaning:

• Wipe your hearing aids or earmould and tubing every day with a clean, soft cloth. Then, clean using a disinfectant wipe (or tissue sprayed with disinfectant) which can be purchased from your local Hearing Centre, Chemist or Drugstore. Never immerse hearing aids in water.

• Clean the receiver and vent openings with an appropriate wax removal tool. Be sure to ask for instructions on how to prevent damage to the receiver.

Battery Care And Replacement:

• Turn your hearing aids off when you remove them to conserve batteries. If they don’t have an on/off switch, open the battery door.

• Remove the batteries at night and when hearing aids will not be used for an extended period. Store batteries in a safe, dry place.

• Keep the battery compartment clean and dry and wipe the battery before inserting.

• Discard used batteries carefully and make sure they do not come in contact with infants, small children or pets. Hearing aid batteries are dangerous if swallowed.*

*If A Hearing Aid Battery Is Swallowed,
Consult A Doctor Immediately!
