At Wigan Hearing, we believe your ears deserve more than just a quick check-up. That’s why we’ve invested in the latest, most advanced audiology technology – including 3D ear scanning.
If you’re looking for custom hearing aids, swim plugs, or ear protection in Wigan, Standish, Shevington, or Chorley, you might be surprised to learn that most high street hearing providers still use outdated, messy impression methods. At Wigan Hearing, we do things differently.
What Is 3D Ear Scanning?
3D ear scanning is a modern, non-invasive way to take an incredibly accurate digital impression of your ear canal. Instead of using silicone putty to fill your ear (which can be uncomfortable and error-prone), we use a small handheld scanner that captures thousands of images per second to build a digital 3D model of your ear.
It’s fast. It’s comfortable. And it’s incredibly precise.
Why Do We Use 3D Scanning at Wigan Hearing?
We’ve invested in this technology because we believe in doing things properly – not cheaply. Our commitment to clinical excellence means we offer services you won’t find at most high street chains or pharmacies.
Here’s why 3D scanning matters:
It’s more comfortable – No mess, no discomfort, and done in minutes.
It’s more accurate – Perfect for custom hearing aids, sleep plugs, and noise protection.
It ensures a better fit – Which means better performance from your hearing aids.
It’s safer – Especially for people with narrow ear canals or medical conditions.
It’s trackable over time – We can monitor changes in your ears with digital comparisons.
This is the same technology used in private ENT clinics and hospitals – and now it’s available locally, here at Wigan Hearing.
Who Benefits from 3D Ear Scanning?
Whether you need:
Invisible hearing aids
Custom-fit sleep or swim plugs
Motorcycle or musician noise protection
Or just want the best fit possible…
3D scanning is ideal. It’s also perfect for anyone who’s had poor experiences with traditional moulds or impressions in the past.
We regularly see clients from Wigan, Standish, Appley Bridge, Shevington, Hindley, and Leigh who travel to us for this advanced service – and many say they’d never go back to old-style impressions again.
