If you’ve ever researched high-end music earphones or maybe you’ve purchased a pair before, you’d know that you can get custom sleeves for them. Earphones (the type you stick inside your ear) come with different sized rubber sleeves, usually similar to the ones below. These are made to fit the majority of ears but aren’t a perfect fit.
With high-end earphones, you can get custom silicon sleeves made to fit your unique ear canal shape offering your better sound isolation and a perfect fit. To get these custom sleeves done, you need to send the manufacturer an impression of your ear. A few days ago someone on Reddit asked where to get this done in Kuwait, so I figured I’d post that information here.
International Optics have a Hearing Center at their location in Central Plaza in Salmiya. At the hearing center they can take an impression of your ear and have your mold ready all within 15 minutes. Once they give you the mold you could then mail that to the silicon sleeve manufacturer abroad to create the custom sleeve for you. The cost for two earmolds (left and right) is KD15.
So if you’re ever looking to get molds done, that’s a place you can go to. Their phone number is 25714573 or 97234752 and they’re located [Here]

Any recommendations on a custom sleeves manufacturer?
I decided to buy earphones then saw this post the next minute. Thank u
I did this a while ago. I then sent it to Ultimate Ears and got a custom UE 18+ Pro 3rd Generation CIEM.
My advice? Don’t do it. It’s not comfortable at all. You will feel pressure on your ears with even the slightest of movements like smiling or talking. I tried liking it, I really did, but it just sits in a drawer now.
P.S. I got my impressions done at Hassan’s optic center on Fahad Alsalem st.
