We went in for our first set of ear mold impressions and are getting even closer to getting Abigail's ears aided. We met with our audiologist to do the impressions and sign paperwork for the hearing aids. The process for taking the impressions was very quick. The audiologist took a small cotton ball attached to a string and pushed it into Abigail's ear canal, then used a two-part epoxy to fill her ear canal. The epoxy hardens very quickly, after only a few minutes, and is removed by the strings. The result is a perfect impression of the inside of Abigail's ear!
Our audiologist sends it off to Microsonic and we have ear molds in less than one week!
Ear molds come in many different colors including sparkles, confetti and bright neon colors. We chose to get lilac colored ear molds to match Abby's pink hearing aids.
Our family's journey into the world of hard of hearing and deaf children and the challenges and triumphs we face in our quest to create a perfect hearing environment for our perfect hard of hearing daughter.
