I spent money at an audiologist to make the mold, then like $150 (which I was refunded, eventually) on the ear pieces. I’m on my second set of CA’s and I still use the foam tips.
They tell you not to get custom molds:

We do not recommend custom ear molds for a variety of reasons. The Comply®Canal Foam will supply 5 decibels better noise suppression than a custom ear mold. This foam acts like a self-sealing memory foam and will comply to the outer ear canal much better than a custom mold. The seal is maintained throughout the changing shape of the ear canal during head turning, yawning, chewing and swallowing, unlike a hard, custom ear mold. Use of a custom ear mold also voids the three year warranty.
