Abstract
Existing ear mould technology depends mainly on dental-based materials and techniques which have retarded provision of effective ear mould services world-wide. We provided a range of higher alkyl methacrylate polymeric systems suitable for use in both ear impression construction and ear mould fabrication. This novel clinical material (Otana) and the associated technique for its fabrication have several clinical and economic advantages over traditional materials currently used in audiology.
