100% Custom Ear Plugs Using 3D Printing & 3D Scanning!

In this video, I'm going to show you how I used 3D Printing and 3D Scanning to make my very own, CUSTOM-made ear plugs... and how you can do it, too!
I don't know about all of you, but my ears are really important to me, and not just because I work in content creation. I've had a couple of pretty serious ear trauma incidents where friends have peer-pressured me to take out my ear protection at concerts, and to this day, I live with the consequences. My ears consistently ring, I’m currently undergoing tests to diagnose a strange and elusive problem where my brain can no longer differentiate speech when there's background noise.
In this video, I'm going to show you how I combined 3D printing, 3D scanning, and silicone molding to create these fully custom, safe-in-your-body earplugs, and how you can make as many pairs as you want for pennies a set.
