Description
The Starkey Comfort Bud is an earbud that can consistently provide proper comfort, acoustics, retention and protection for patients. It was designed to create uniform radial pressure against the ear canal wall for a variety of ear canal shapes and sizes. The equal and sturdy wall sections of the Comfort Bud help to eliminate hot spots, providing consistent patient comfort. The unique design of the Comfort Bud also allows it to provide consistent retention in the ear. It is designed to wrap around the first bend of the ear canal in order to achieve greater retention. The occluded Comfort Bud also provides consistent occlusion when needed to extend the fitting range. Unlike other earbuds that may fold or irregularly bend upon insertion into the ear, reducing the acoustic seal of the earbud, the Comfort Bud has a retaining ring that helps it to resist puckering even when the earbud is being constricted. With the occluded Comfort Bud, a more consistent fit can be achieved with each insertion. The retaining ring allows the Comfort Bud to resist puckering and uneven folding even when constricted. The Comfort Bud does not use internal support ribs, allowing the earbud to conform to the ear canal like a balloon. Kit includes 8 of each size: 5 mm, 6 mm, 7mm, and 9 mm.
