Remake Procedures

When requesting a remake please include:

1. New impression(s)
2. An explanation of the reason for the remake
3. The letter and numbers off the previous earmold bag
4. The old mold(s)

Each ear impression is carefully prepared before casting, therefore the importance of a good ear impression and the most information obtained will ensure you of the most accurate earpiece.

Please fill out the order form completely!  Missing information may delay your order, or cause orders to be processed incorrectly.  We cannot stress enough the importance of an audiogram and/or hearing loss, please be sure to fill it out.  If we see a discrepancy with your order, we will notify you. However, due to the large volume of orders that we receive, we cannot call on every slight discrepancy.  For example if you do not check off a specific box you will be sent standard options such as a clear earmold, no vent, standard bore, and the appropriate tubing. Please be sure to review your order before sending it, and make sure that all information is accurate and complete.

We reserve the right to make slight changes on orders without notification.  For example, a 3mm horn tube is being ordered, but the canal diameter will not accommodate one; we will install a large bore instead creating a similar effect as a horn tube.  Also, we will always try to install parallel vents, however if canal space is limited a diagonal vent will be installed.

We keep impressions on file for a minimum of one year.  Please note that the impressions for all mold styles, other than full styles, are cut down to the size requested, unless the keep impression full box is checked off on the order form.

When requesting more than one set of molds or plugs we only need one set of impressions, however if you order two sets it will take two days to process, if you order three sets it will take three days to process, etc.

All of our work begins immediately upon receipt of your impression(s), and most custom earpieces are shipped out the same day that they are received.

• We do not return custom molds for credit.

Lost or Delayed Molds

Every product we ship has tracking ability.  However, we are not responsible for delays by the U.S. postal system.  In some instances the mail can take up to ten days to deliver packages.  Our policy requires a ten-day waiting period before remaking a mold free of charge.  If the mold is requested before the ten-day waiting period, the mold will be full charge.
