Plantronics shows off their wall of ears

If you have ever had earmold impressions taken for your ears, then you probably know that it can be described as a unique experience. Audiologists typically make impressions of ears for custom earplugs, swimmer's earplugs or hearing aids.

The company Plantronics, which makes Bluetooth accessories, has created a 'wall of ears' at its headquarters to show the wide-range of human ear shapes and sizes. This process gives Plantronics some insight for creating headsets that fit on a variety of human ears.

Check out the cool video showing how they create a model of an ear. Head's up: this is not how it's done at an audiologist's office!


Since the video is wide-screen, you can also watch it on YouTube.
