Receivers generally can’t be used with another unrelated brand. But earmolds (except for the ones with a high-powered receiver permanently embedded) may be usable with a receiver from a brand other than the one it was made for. Like, I had molds made for Whisper receivers (a since-discontinued brand) and my audiologist was able to fit Oticon receivers into them. The receiver sizes have to be close enough.

My molds are based on aids that I wore many years ago. They had a good curve at the canal end and so they got past the first bend in my ear. Now they are a little small and I haven’t found a place that can put the bend in. Perhaps this is due to my Oticon 100 receivers but I don’t think so since I can more or less eyeball the fit against the CIC aids as working.

Wax dip makes a lot of sense I think.

Can you share the name of company?

Well, the high power, or UP receivers are larger, so the standard domes would not work. So have a special line of UP domes for a small market, or make them custom, encased.
