Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study participants will undergo ear canal impressions in a standard of care protocol utilizing two methodologies: 3D ear scanning using a commercially-available ear scanning device, and conventional silicone impression material. The elapsed time of each procedure will be captured for each participant, and the average duration of the two methodologies will be compared.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

All participants

All study participants who have bilateral earmold impressions completed using both a 3D ear scanner and the conventional procedure using silicone impression material.

3D ear scanner

Intervention Type DEVICE

A commercially-available ear scanning device used according to standard of care. A hand-held device is used and is considered less invasive than conventional earmold impressions.

Conventional silicon ear impressions

Intervention Type OTHER

A two part silicon impression material that is used to fill the ear and produce a physical cast of the ear canal. The procedure is standard of care.
