I know there are some companies that supply materials to build your own earmolds. Any suggestions? Thanks. --Steve

As zebras said, Markismus makes his own.
Do a search in the forum to find the materials and how to do it.
I personally use Lloyd’s to get mine made. Really nice family owned business.

What you want to use is two-component silicon rubber.

The medical type is shiny and sold for example here46.
The artistic type is used for molding, not shiny and are sold in every artist supply store. I found them in reddish tone and in blue.

I wanted to use them to make a mold for epoxy resin, but ended up using them instead.
If you ever find a transparent two-component silicone rubber, please post in this thread.

I got my earmold impression material from the earplug superstore. Get the multi pack in case you make a mistake and need to do another impression.

OK…if you do go with Lloyds I think they will send you the impression material free.
When I had my earmolds made I provided the company information such as how the impression was taking(closed jaw, open jaw) size of vent I prefer, and length of canal(I would mark off the canal length with a black marker)

That is good to know. The people there are nice to deal with. They carry there own brand of hearing aids as well. And by the description of the features they seem to be made by Resound same as my .
