[CAUT] If You Value Your Hearing,

[DIANE HOFSTETTER]

Please Do Not make your own ear impressions.

When we were learning to make impressions in my audiology class, we were 
required to do them only when the supervising audiologist was observing and 
during normal working hours when the ENT office was open in case anything 
went wrong.

We wouldn't expect our customers to tune their own pianos, yet we would 
consider taking our own ear impressions?
