Their responsibilities include:
Taking Ear Impressions – Using silicone or other materials to capture the shape of the ear.
Mould Fabrication – Designing and shaping ear moulds from impressions, often using materials like acrylic or silicone.
Modifications and Repairs – Adjusting the mould for comfort and effectiveness, and repairing worn-out or damaged pieces.
Quality Control – Ensuring precision and comfort for the user by refining the fit and function of the mould.
Ear mould lab technicians need a blend of technical skills, attention to detail, and craftsmanship. Their work plays a critical role in improving the quality of life for individuals with hearing impairments or those needing specialized ear protection.
