The ability to design and create hearing aid shells - the part that fits
into your ear, using computers and 3D printers has revolutionized the
manufacturing and fitting of hearing aids. By using computers we can
make shells that will have enough room to fit the electronic components
and also provide a comfortable fit in the smallest package possible. I
can scan an ear impression and digitally send the info to the
manufacturer as email. What an amazing world this is.
