What is the Custom Advantage?
Custom-fitted ear solutions enhance both function and performance. By precisely matching the unique shape of your ear, these products optimize sound isolation, stability, and overall effectiveness.
Auricle Digital's eFit 3D Ear Scanning ensures an exceptional user experience.
An accurate custom ear product will increase:
-
A precise fit ensures consistent isolation, aligning you with the optimal conditions envisioned by product designers. This brings you nearer to the experience and full benefits that the product promises.
-
Accurate ear and canal mapping minimizes the risk of discomfort from product pressure points during extended use. This precise mapping ensures that the product conforms to your ear, rather than forcing your ear to conform to the product.
-
We simplify the journey from measurement to final product, cutting down on complex steps. This means fewer chances for errors, ensuring your custom product works just as it should.
-
In environments where regulations are key, the comfort of custom ear products is crucial. They not only improve performance but also encourage proper usage. Discomfort can result in non-compliance, exposing individuals to potential harm and organizations to liability. A study revealed that U.S. military personnel properly used standard foam earplugs just 8% of the time, highlighting the need for better-fitting options.

How is this Different?
(referencing impression procedures )"An invasive procedure that can lead to complications, and quite probably the riskiest procedure that we perform"** (**Beyer, C. & Younker, S. (2020). Preventing medical errors in audiology. AudiologyOnline, Article 27264)
Traditional impressions risks include:
- Potential for ear canal distortion and damage.
Think of your ear canal like a cave with a narrow entrance leading to a wider space, impressions can be tricky to remove once they harden in this larger area. forcing a larger object through a small cave entrance.
- Creating a sealed pressure chamber, risking ear health and function if not properly depressurized.
- Issues from incorrect use of impression materials.
eFit scanning mitigates these risks by removing them completely from the process, it's a safer, more comfortable and more effective approach to custom ear products.
Custom ear products are superior for performance, but traditional impression methods pose risks. They can distort the ear's shape, leading to discomfort. Our eFit scanning is non-invasive, capturing your ear's true shape without pressure, ensuring a comfortable, high-performance fit.
Studies, including one by the U.S. military, show that comfort is crucial for compliance with extended wear. eFit-scanned earpieces are more comfortable than those made with traditional impressions or other 3D scans.
