Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0410034A1] A positive ear impression (1) is machined to the intended size, fitted in the proximal region with a core (4), immersed in wax and fitted into a receptacle, which is then filled with the casting compound (8) for the negative mould. After taking out the ear impression (1) and removing the core (4), a flexible strand (11) is drawn into the negative mould (5). The strand (11) is laid along the inside wall of the negative mould and then the housing shell material is filled into the negative mould. After a short polymerisation time, excess material is drained and, after curing, the housing shell (18) is taken out of the negative mould (5). By drawing a strand insert (12, 13) out of the channel (19) moulded into the housing shell (18) and after removing protruding sprue pieces, the housing shell with a venting channel moulded in it is obtained. <IMAGE>
