1. An earbud delivery system comprising:
- an earbud system including a three-dimensional scanner, a calculator and a processor, the three-dimensional scanner configured to generate a non-contact ear measurement for a user'"'"'s ear, the non-contact ear measurement including a size measurement and a shape measurement for the user'"'"'s ear;
the calculator for calculating at least one factor for each earpiece within an inventory of earpieces based on the non-contact ear measurement from the three-dimensional scanner, the at least one factor is selected from the group consisting of;
a pain score, a stay-in score and an ambient sound suppression score; and
the processor configured to select an earpiece from the inventory of earpieces based on the non-contact ear measurement from the three-dimensional scanner and the at least one calculated factor from the calculator.
