How are the impressions made for the proper fit?
As you place your order, you may choose to receive an "at-home" impression kit, or they may choose to have the impressions done professionally at any Audiologist, E.N.T., or hearing aid dealer in your area.
With the professional option, you will not receive an "at-home" impression kit. Generally, most professionals will charge you $45-$50 for this service.
If you choose to do the impressions yourself, allow 2-4 weeks for delivery of impression kit. Shipping will normally not take this long unless there are unforseen weather problems or Holiday delays. The impression kit includes a detailed instruction guide giving you step by step in the impression taking process and includes packaging for return to Nitro Ear.
If you choose to get the impressions professionally done, the impressions must be sent to Nitro Ear in a BOX, not an envelope or padded envelope. Otherwise, the impressions could be damaged in transit. Once the impressions are received, the manufacturing and shipping process will take 4-6 weeks. We offer a fit guarantee as part of the original warranty.

Do you offer a "standard" or "one size fits all" product?
Along with our custom Nitro Elite units, we offer a one-size-fits-all product with our rechargable behind-the-ear (BTE). This product comes with three sizes of earbuds to choose from for maximum comfort and a better seal to prevent feedback. You can also order custom ear molds for the BTE that just snap on for even more comfort and feedback prevention. Although the one-size-fits-all ear pieces will fit most people just fine, there are occasions where custom products are needed in cases where the ear canal is abnormally shaped or if feedback is a problem.
Can I order just a single NitroEar unit for one ear?
Yes, you can order just one NitroEar if needed. The default option is two units. The main drawback to only getting one unit is that you are only protecting one ear. Since we have been in the hearing industry for over 30 years, we understand that there are some reasons for only needing one unit. For instance, one ear may be completely deaf, so there is really nothing to protect. Therefore, we will sell only one if it is desired. The price for only one unit will be half of the listed pair price.
Can my Nitro Elites be customized to my hearing loss?
Yes, the custom Nitro Elites have a programmable circuit that allows us to customize the unit to a particular hearing loss. All you have to do is send us a copy of your hearing test and we will adjust the appropriate frequencies to compensate for that loss.
