FIT
Using rapid manufacturing equipment and processes to produce finished custom-fit earpieces, our FIT earpiece material is similar to our standard acrylic material. The rapid manufacturing process uses a scan of the impression, which is then modeled digitally and printed rather than handmade like a traditional earpiece. The scan of the impression and the digital file of the earpiece are stored for two years, making reordering a breeze.

FIT earpiece material is available in clear, rose and translucent brown but is not available with any canal additives.

Flex Canal
Flex Canal is a body temperature-reactive, semisoft canal additive available on all standard Westone acrylic earpieces. The unique properties of this material allow the canal portion of the earpiece to remain firm at room temperature for ease of insertion and then soften at body temperature for increased comfort and seal. The flex canal option is also available in combination with the e-Compound canal option

e-Compound Additive
e-Compound canal additive is designed to reduce feedback by diffusing reflected sound between the tip of the earpiece and the eardrum. e-Compound is available on all standard acrylic earpieces but it can also be ordered in combination with the flex canal option.

Matte - The smooth matte finish helps hide the earpiece in the ear when using clear or one of Westone’s many skin tone or DisappEar color choices.

The colors shown are representative of the final product, but we cannot guarantee they will match exactly. This is simply a guide.
