    Already use their lighted curettes to to place otoblocks. What a great tool.

    I am looking for decent probe tubes for real ear testing. The probe tubes available today are flimsy with a useless green coupler to attach to the reference mic. I use the old style tubes that you can’t get anymore threaded through the bend of a regular tube for a mold to get a back bend. Those can be placed easily whereas the new ones won’t stay worth a darn.

      Totally agree!
      I took a peek at all of the different probe tubes we currently sell and yes, they are “flimsy” in terms of the probe tube material. Where did you used to get the old style tubes? Maybe we can do some digging over here and try and find something that you prefer. Let me know!
