Hi, I am training to become an audiologist ... the theory is no problem, but the practical side is a bit more difficult! I am now having to learn how to take ear impressions ... but the geometry of the ear canal is defeating me. It's supposed to be S shaped ... but how does this S shape oriented? Vertical? Horizontal? Tilted? And where the heck are the "first bend" and the "second bend"? Any help most welcome! [I have searched the Web far and wide - but could not find SPECIFIC details on the ear canal route] Thanks, Richard --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
