Introducing SmartWear, the only Self Forming Earmold or SFE on the market today. SmartWear is a revolutionary advance in earmold technology. It combines the convenience of a non-custom earmold with the security and comfort of a custom fit. The SmartWear SFE virtually eliminates the need for ear impressions as well as the delay of fitting while waiting for the delivery of a custom earmold.
Safely embedded in the silicone body is a thermally activated nickel-titanium (Nitinol) stent. Within seconds of being inserted into the ear canal, normal body temperature activates the stent, causing it to slowly and comfortably expand to conform to ear canal topography.Read published article

Hearing from the heart
Based on coronary stent technology, SmartWear utilizes the patented Memory Form design, an ultra-soft silicone body containing a temperature-sensitive Nitinol stent.
Nitinol delivers precise radial force which results in controlled interfacial pressure distribution across the ear canal wall. The result is an acoustic seal that is secure, appropriate for a range of hearing losses from moderate to severe and extremely comfortable for extended wear time. And SmartWear not only conforms to the unique shape of an individual ear canal, but will continually adapt to TMJ motion as well. |
