Title: Tryin the new Spock Ear
Post by: ixta on May 31, 2007, 12:16:58 am

So I talked to my audiologist about the new Spock ear. I'm thinking to try it out. I had molds done to fit about a week ago. I've heard great reviews. Anyone here try it out?

I guess it is fabricated in Vancouver B.C. Took a tour of the fabrication center the other day and saw my mold.

Here is a diagram of the operation.

I think Transear is taking so long now because I keep sending mine back. Again, and again, and again. I have hopes that sooner or later it will be right.

At this point spock ear seems a possbility.

Just having my molds done friday for hearing aids I was staring to panic and think I missed some new and great hearing device..Too funny ixta  LOL

I finally got word I did not qualify for a transear so am heading down a different path.  Hoping to have my aids in place by confernece..that would be cool!  ;D
