Okay, from the standards in NC, she would have failed her licensing exam because she did not brace on his face, and she made contact with the back of his head.

Thank you for your comment! Some states have specific ways they like to see exam candidates perform procedures. However, there are many ways to appropriately brace. The video was edited in a way that cuts some of the procedure out, which might be causing the confusion. New earmold impression videos are on our list to create, including videos that show different methods of bracing. Hopefully those videos will be of greater use to you!

How old is Mr Ruspa

how far do you need to push the otoblock is it up to the eardrum ?

[@LetsRopeUp]

Greetings! The otoblock should not be pushed to the eardrum. It is normally placed just past the second bend in the ear canal. That placement may change depending on what style of mold you are ordering and the anatomy of the patient's ear. Earmold impressions should only be performed by trained professionals.
