This is the most universal mold made. The design gives a good seal, and the cosmetic design is acceptable to most clients. Most acoustical options can be fitted into this physical shape.

This mold is a modified canal shape. As you can see, a portion of the lower concha rim has been added to give more retention. The mold still is cosmetically very acceptable.

Basically, a C.R.O.S mold is a reduction of a skeleton mold in the bridge area and the reduction of the canal portion of the mold so the patients canal is not occluded. Sound can pass around the retaining portions of a C.R.O.S. mold. C.R.O.S. molds are used in C.R.O.S. and C.R.O.S. fittings to significantly reduce an aids response below 1000 Hz. It can be said that a C.R.O.S. mold is the biggest vent.
