The information provided was detailed and clear. The only suggestion would be more real life video rather than the pictures with the mannikins. I'd like to see what soft runny impression material looks like next to a firmer one. I'd like to see a video shot of a sponge correctly inserted and incorrectly inserted in a real ear.
