    AbstractEar plugs are currently recommended for patients with tympanostomy tubes or for those requiring noise attenuation. Most techniques used today require a two-step process involving an impression of the ear followed by laboratory fabrication from a cast. This paper presents an alternative technique which is accomplished in one appointment and eliminates the laboratory phase by using addition reaction silicones. The indications for ear plugs and clinical results achieved with this new technique were also reviewed.
