This thread contains so much useful information it should be stickied so it won't be buried away.
Just to bump it up, I thought I'll post this:
Got it done on Saturday at ACE Hearing, will be used to make a pair of Hidition NT 6.
The lady who did it for me is quite professional, first check my ear for obstruction and after noting the size of my ear canals, she made the cotton tip smaller, then carefully insert them into my ears. I remember last time when I did mine at Jaben, I felt some sharp pain when the cotton tips were inserted, but this time, very comfy haha.
I did mine closed mouth (as recommend in a head-fi Hidition thread). To be honest, I don't get why we should make open mouth; musicians use their CIEM when they're singing on stage, so it makes sense that their ear impressions should be open-mouth. We are going to use our CIEMs mostly for music-listening when our mouths are shut so shouldn't our ear impressions be closed?
Anyway the lady told me that there is no difference between open and closed unless your ear canals are narrow. Then you'll need to do open mouth to straighten the ear canals.
The session this time round is also much shorter than what I remembered at Jaben. Just a few mins and the ear impressions should be taken out.
Now my only worries is that there are ear wax at the end of the ear impressions. I'm not sure if Hidition will be able to work with them but ACE Hearing says I can go down and do again if they are rejected.
Overall, if you need ear impressions done, I recommend ACE Hearing
