Aural Impression Taking

2010-08-30T00:08:00.020+01:00

Welcome to the:

Present Moment Solutions™ ‘Hear For Health’

Advice Bureau for:

"Aural (Ear) Impressions"

which includes:

Impression taking for:

Hearing Aids - In The Ear
Hearing Aid Moulds - Behind The Ear
In-Ear Monitoring Systems
Noise Protection Devices
Presenters' Earmoulds
Swim Plugs
Communication Systems
Covert Communication Devices

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.

Hearing Loss Facts

The Facts About Hearing Loss:

More than 1 in 10 people suffer from some form of hearing loss. Although generally associated with aging, hearing loss can be caused by a variety of factors including exposure to noise, illness and infections, alcohol, smoking – even some medicines.

Because the loss is gradual, many never realize they are missing out on the sounds around them. But once hearing loss is detected, it’s important to act – the sooner the intervention, the greater the chances for success. By continuing to stimulate the brain with sound messages, the ability to understand sounds and words is preserved.

Since hearing loss is gradual, it takes time and patience to adjust to wearing hearing aids. The brain must relearn how to listen, a process that can take time. But with the incentive of once again hearing the sounds of life, the results are well worth it.

"Hearing Aid Tips"

Experience The Power Of Today’s Hearing Aids:

With the exciting advancements in digital hearing aid technology, you have more choices and solutions than ever before. The newest “open fit” models provide clearer and more comfortable hearing. In fact, with “barely-there” styles like “open fit,” it’s hard to tell if you’re even wearing a hearing aid.

What Hearing Aids Can Do:

With complex circuitry concentrated in a tiny unit, today’s hearing aids are powerful cousins to yesterday’s bulky units. Specialised digital circuitry “reads” sounds, amplifying speech and reducing noise to a minimum while maximizing comprehension of the human voice. Some units adapt to different listening situations so you hear well in different sound environments. This flexibility improves most types of hearing loss.

What They Can’t Do:

Unlike eyeglasses that can correct vision to 20/20, hearing aids cannot magically restore hearing to what it was before. Using hearing aids requires time and ‘Patience’. The brain needs to relearn how to listen, a process that can take some time. The key is not to get frustrated.

Two Ears Are Better Than One:

Most research has shown that most people benefit from wearing two hearing aids rather than just one. That’s because “Binaural Hearing” (with two ears) helps you identify where sounds are coming from and distinguish between them. With two ears, loud sounds, echoes and background noise are filtered out. With only one ear, different sounds get mixed up, making it difficult to distinguish between words and "noise."

Product Solutions From Present Moment Solutions:

Present Moment Solutions™ ‘Hear For Health’ Advice Bureau can recommend a variety of models – all featuring digital technology.

We can help you find the hearing solution that best fits your lifestyle and budget.

Wilson P Williams' 'Hear For Health' Hearing Aid Audiology Introduction

2010-05-03T00:08:00.019+01:00

Hello, my name is Wilson, Wilson P. Williams and I am a (qualified) Hearing Aid Audiologist which means I’m fully qualified to test and prescribe suitable or as I see it, the very best hearing aids and hearing equipment to suit your, your acquaintances, your friends, your family or your loved ones hearing needs.

Here’s my story, it’s not too long but it’s a story or letter of introduction, just for you:

I started dispensing hearing aids in 1987 where I originally started with Siemens Hearing Instruments and spent 1 year learning the basics as a trainee.

After my initial introduction to Hearing Aid Audiology and period of time to study and work in the Hearing Aid Industry, I became fully qualified in 1992, where I spent 13 years working for Hidden Hearing Ltd.

Thereafter I spent another 9 Years at Amplivox which was bought outright by a larger company where and when the company name changed to Amplifon.

After the changes, the Big and sudden changes that took place, I must admit I was not too happy with what they had planned for me, therefore I wanted to break away from it all but could never find the right time, or maybe the courage to take that ‘Leap Of Faith’… not until I had a sporting accident whilst away on holiday.

It took a negative occurrence for me to make a positive move, meaning after 12 long weeks of being more or less housebound I realised I did not miss working for the large Hearing Aid companies but I did miss my interaction with my Hearing Aid clients. So this is where I took that ‘Leap Of Faith’ to go out on my own, in order to serve you and the general public in a more personal one to one manner, just the way I ‘Believe’ it should be done.

So, it’s as I said, here I am serving you and the general public, through giving you the very best hearing advice right here online, by serving you and all of your hearing needs and in many other way besides, the way I believe it really should be done and that’s with ‘Love, Care, Attention and lots and lots of Passion.’
