The science of earmold (or hearing aid shell) modification has achieved a level that exceeds existing terminology. To date, there is no standardized terminology for various areas of the earmold and hearing aid shell. This article outlines a system of terminology that conforms with anatomic naming principles, retains current terminology where appropriate, and provides nomenclature for previously unnamed areas. A formal nomenclature should aid teaching and communication among professionals.
