Can My Audiologist Use Their Own Impression Material?
Yes — absolutely. If you're visiting an audiologist or ENT for ear impressions, they may prefer to use their own impression material. That’s perfectly fine and won’t affect your order.
What to Bring With You
To make the process smooth, be sure to bring our Audiologist Take-Along Sheet with you. It includes all the specs and instructions they’ll need to create impressions that meet our standards.

A Word of Caution
Most audiologists are honest, caring professionals — but we’ve seen a few cases where things didn’t go as planned.
Some audiologists have financial partnerships with competing brands, and may try to steer you toward their products. In some cases:
They’ve told customers they’d “send in the impressions” — but sent them to a competitor instead
Weeks later, customers were contacted by that competitor and quoted double the price of Alien Ears monitors
How to Protect Yourself
Make sure you leave with your impressions in hand — don’t let anyone mail them for you unless you trust them completely
Bring the Audiologist Sheet so they know exactly what you need
Print and bring your signed invoice/signature page (sent to your email after ordering) — this confirms your Alien Ears order and helps avoid confusion
Summary

Bring the Audiologist Sheet and your signed invoice
Politely insist on taking your impressions with you
If anything feels off, trust your gut and ask questions
