New Moulds!
As I was cleaning the bathroom… no wait that’s a different kind of mould.
For all you Americans… mould = mold.
Seriously I have had the worst time getting an earmold for my right ear. We’re talking 8 different molds, none of which have worked, until now, on number 9. When my audiologist suggested I actually go to where they were making the moulds and discuss with the lab assistant directly, I jumped at the chance.
The guy at the lab was super nice, a kid from New Zealand (I actually recognised the accent). He was able to see my ear, and I showed him what the shape needed to look like, and so on.
The only disappointment overall was that I could not get white. One of the reasons that the moulds were not right was the fact that the lab kept sending back white, but a very tough material, not soft. It wasn’t until recently the audiologist here finally found out that the soft material doesn’t come in white, so I had to opt for a different color. So I chose blue.

Do you want the blue hair again to go with the molds(moulds)?

Kathy,
Thanks for the offer. I’m tempted, but I’m also glad I got it out of the way before I became one of the mindless zombie masses making my way to work, constantly fearful of the ‘u’ word.
I just realised I realised I never put up photos of the new moulds, I’ll have to do that (in case perchance anyone comes back to take a look)… tonight, tonight.
