We offer professional ear impression taking and custom earmold (otoplasty) services in İzmir. At Nokta İşitme Bozyaka and Yeşilyurt locations, molds are made to fit your ear anatomy precisely; sound from your hearing aid reaches the right place with the right pressure.
An earmold is a custom part that safely and efficiently delivers sound from behind-the-ear (BTE) and receiver-in-canal (RIC/RITE) hearing aids into the ear canal. Ready-made domes or standard tips do not provide the same comfort for every ear; custom molds make a real difference especially with moderate-to-severe hearing loss, in children, during sports/active life, or with feedback (whistling) complaints.
The process consists of two core steps: first an ear impression is taken — a three-dimensional negative measurement of your ear; then an earmold is produced in the laboratory or through a manufacturing partner based on this measurement. Material (soft silicone / hard acrylic), style (full shell, half shell, canal, skeleton), and color options are determined according to your needs.
At Nokta İşitme, we take impressions hygienically, in a controlled manner, and with an experienced team. Oto-block placement, material consistency, and removal technique ensure the mold is both comfortable and acoustically correct. We complete the process with a fit check after delivery and remakes when needed.
A transparent, hygienic, and personalized otoplasty experience from measurement to delivery.
Device type (BTE/RIC), degree of hearing loss, comfort expectations, and lifestyle are discussed; suitable mold style and material are recommended.
The ear canal and eardrum area are checked with an otoscope. If there is infection, blockage, or risk, the procedure is postponed or referral is made.
An oto-block is placed; medical silicone material is injected in a controlled manner. The hardened impression shortly after creates a three-dimensional negative of the ear.
The impression is sent to the laboratory/manufacturer. A custom mold is produced with the selected material, style, vent (ventilation), and tubing connection.
The mold is fitted in the ear; comfort, seal, and feedback are checked. Remake or re-production is planned if needed.
Every mold belongs to a single ear. Both appearance and comfort are personalized with clear, colored, or soft silicone options.
Vibrant color options for children and personal preference. Can be produced in soft or hard material.
Frosted or clear materials for those who prefer a discreet appearance. Right–left color dots prevent mixing.
A process that begins with professional impression taking and ends with a comfortable, sealed custom mold in your hand.
Style and material are selected together based on your device type, hearing loss, and comfort preference.
Full fit filling the concha; strong seal preferred for severe losses
Lighter, more open feel; balance of daily comfort and ventilation
Canal-focused, more discreet forms; for suitable anatomy and loss level
Flexible, comfortable seal; often preferred for children, sports, and sensitive ears
Durable, easy-to-clean surface; long life and clear acoustic control
Ventilation hole and tubing selection; balance of occlusion and feedback
View →A mold that fits the curves of your ear precisely; reduces slipping, pressure points, and constant adjustment needs.
Proper sealing reduces feedback (whistling) risk; critical especially with high-gain settings.
Sound energy is delivered to the ear canal in a controlled way; improves low-frequency loss and occlusion balance.
Material, style, and color options plan both appearance and daily comfort for you.

Core steps of the professional otoplasty process from assessment to fit check.
Wipe the mold with a soft, non-moist cloth. Harsh chemicals and alcohol-based products can damage the material; follow specialist recommendations.
Yellowed, hardened, or cracked tubing degrades sound. Wax buildup can block the canal; regular checks and replacement are recommended.
Stop using the mold and contact our center or a physician if you experience pain, discharge, itching, or sudden blockage.
Weight changes, age-related anatomy, or growth in children can loosen the mold. New impressions may be needed if feedback or pressure increases.
Common questions about ear impression taking, custom molds (otoplasty), material selection, timeline, and care in İzmir.
An ear impression is a three-dimensional negative measurement of the ear canal and outer ear. It is taken with medical silicone material; a custom earmold is produced based on this measurement.
An earmold safely and efficiently delivers sound from the hearing aid into the ear canal. It is a critical part for comfort, seal, feedback control, and especially sound quality with moderate-to-severe losses.
No. Many RIC users can continue with ready-made domes. However, custom molds often deliver better results with feedback, discomfort, high-gain needs, pediatric use, or sports/active lifestyles. A clear recommendation is provided after assessment.
The procedure is generally short and tolerable. A feeling of fullness in the ear is normal; comfort is preserved with proper block placement and controlled injection. The procedure is postponed if there is pain or suspected infection.
Soft silicone excels in flexibility and sealing; hard acrylic excels in durability and easy cleaning. Silicone is often preferred for children, sports, and sensitive ears; acrylic for those who want long life and a clear surface. The decision is made together.
After the impression is taken, delivery is generally planned within a few business days to 1–2 weeks depending on production and shipping time. The fastest available option is shared in urgent cases.
Yes. Clear/discreet appearance or vibrant colored molds can be chosen. Color selection especially makes use easier and more personal for children.
A fit check is done at delivery. Minor pressure points can be corrected with remakes; serious mismatch requires a new impression and re-production. It is important to report feedback or pain promptly.
Children's ear anatomy changes quickly, so molds may need more frequent renewal. Soft material and color options are often preferred; the process is explained step by step to the family.
Nokta İşitme offers professional ear impression taking and custom earmold services at its İzmir Bozyaka and Yeşilyurt locations. You can start the assessment and impression process by booking an appointment.
Gentle daily wiping, tubing/filter checks, and regular center maintenance are recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals; book a check appointment if you notice cracks, hardening, or discoloration.
Mold seal and vent structure affect the device's gain and frequency settings. Fine-tuning / programming may be needed after a new mold; in such cases it is planned together with our programming service.
