No, they are made after your ears.

An audiologist will take a mould impression of your ear using a soft semi-liquid rubber substance that dries when it reacts with oxygen in the air.

The cast will be sent to a laboratory, where it will be fashioned into ahearingaid mould, either by hand or, in some countries, by state-of-the-art laser cutting/moulding.

Because the mould is designed for your ear, it will slip in and out perfectly.


However, if you don't take it out when you sleep, the friction between the mould and your ear can cause irritation and sometimes light bleeding when you roll around in your sleep. So, as long as you take out the hearing aid when you sleep, you'll be fine.


In the UK, hearing aids, hearing aid maintenance and hearing tests are free on the National Health Service.

See an audiologist for more information.
