This was a local audiologist, I don't know where they sent it to be made. I Googled custom earphones and audiologists and they were the closest.
There are two types of ways to make them. One is to do what I did and have the goop poured in your ears. The second is to have a machine scan your ears with a laser. The 2nd type is better because you can take that scan to multiple different places to have earpieces made, but because the machines are expensive many audiologists don't have access to them, so they use the goop.
Your ears change as you age anyway, and as the earpieces age they slowly harden and are less able to form a secure seal in your ear canal. Supposedly they should be good for at least 3 years of daily use before you'd need to get a new mould or scan made and then a new set of earphones made from that.
