Randomized controlled trial compares digital 3D ear scans and traditional molds for earmold fabrication, suggesting clinical viability.
Earmolds manufactured from digital 3D ear scans are a clinically viable alternative to conventional impressions for patients who can be successfully scanned, with comparable satisfaction, safety, and usage. However, implementation was constrained by operational barriers and scan failures, which should be addressed to support broader clinical use.
