Returning ear impressions
Pack the ear impression in a solid box and gently protect the impressions with packing material to stop any movement, tissues can be used as an alternative to packing material.
If you are unsure the ear impression is acceptable for our needs, you may take a photo of the ear impression and email it to us, we will try to assess if it is acceptable. This is highly recommended.
