Canal Additives

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 for all standard acrylic earpieces and can also be ordered in combination with the flex canal option.

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.

Acrylic Earpiece Finishes

Westone's acrylic earpieces are available in a shiny or matte finish. Shiny - The high gloss shiny finish looks great on more vivid colors such as our custom colors, neon colors, acrylic glitter and Swyrl earpieces. Not available in FIT. 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.
