Did you check out their sample gallery? I show this to my patients to help guide their choices:

Custom Earmold Gallery94

View our Custom Earmold Gallery here. Microsonic has the industry's largest selection of colors and colors styles for custom earmolds.

Honestly almost everything I’ve ordered from them turns out pretty nicely. I would probably go with the Gel-e-burst, since the clear helps break up the colors a bit. The rainbow/swirl is fine but sometimes the colors get muddied, depending on what you pick!

I’ll either be getting a canal lock or skeleton Earmold most likely. I have but need more occlusion and better retention plus extremely small ear canals which makes larger domes uncomfortable. I looked through the gallery but with so many colors it’s hard to choose especially since I want something that will stand out/be visible. I enjoy loud colors and LOVE decorating my . I specifically choose microsonic since I know they do fun colors and if I went with phonak I’d be stuck with clear.

I agree - Microsonic makes really pretty molds. I have had good luck with them making for my kiddos. Hope you find something you like - the gallery is just suggestions; you can come up with your own thing :slight_smile:

Honestly I was quite upset I couldn’t get pink hearing aids, mostly because insurance and pricing of the sky marvels. The next color I would have picked was white so we went with the audeo marvels but after ordering was told they did not have white because it was discontinued. I picked silver and love decorating my with stickers, tube twists, charms

I find that people tend to be more understanding that I have hearing issues when my are visible versus discreet because I’m a young adult who doesn’t seem like I would need them.

Omg this is so cool.

My fitter went on and on about trying to hide and the availability of skin tones to hide and I had to interrupt her, if I have to wear a HA, it can be neon, I’ll rock it :grin:. I was sad to see my choices were so limited when we narrowed the choices.

Seriously had me jealous clicking through all those links thinking I should change types as I have .

Maybe I’m weird but I feel like the hearing centers need to showcase things like this. It would help get rid of the stigma that are for old people. I remember getting my first colorful glasses as a kid and feeling a little better, still hated wearing it but I felt better.

I wish I could get some funky colors. With the Jabra (resound one) there is only one form and the only options other than skin colors is red/blue (right ear is red and left blue ) which I went with. Only having one aid right now it’s just the blue but funky colors would be awesome.

I think when I needed to have Costco remake my molds a number of years ago the aids were Resound. At that time they dealt with multiple vendors for molds. I would expect different vendors to have different color options.

My friend has Aids and didn’t like the limited choice of colours.

She chose 2 x blue but had the Lab ring her audiologist to confirm that she means 2 x blue and not 1 x red and 1 x blue.

I realise you have 1 x Aid now but don’t think you have to get 1 x blue and 1 x red.

I’m glad my audiologist said we could go through a different company since if I went with phonak I would only be able to get clear
