Bring a family member or a close friend
Hearing a familiar voice of a family member or a friend means a lot during hearing aid fittings which is why we encourage our patients to bring someone during the appointment.
It is common to have various responses to noises when wearing hearing aids for the first time. Again, there is no need for concern since this is anticipated and usual. The objective is to achieve a comfortable degree of audibility for common noises.
From your first fitting to any necessary follow-up consultations, our audiologists are on standby to make any hearing aid modifications.
What to expect during hearing aid fittings?
The hearing aids will be tested by our audiologist to ensure that gentle sounds will be amplified and louder sounds are received at a comfortable volume. We want our patients to realize that using hearing aids requires careful fitting, programming, and tweaking in order to get the best possible hearing. Each patient’s hearing loss is distinct, just like their ears are different from one another. We use real ear measurements to achieve the most accurate hearing aid fitting possible.
What are real ear measurements?
The gold standard for establishing whether a hearing aid user is getting the precise amounts of amplification needed at each frequency to get the optimum hearing improvement is real ear measurement.
The degree of hearing loss is one of several variables that might impact how well a hearing aid performs, thus this does not ensure a complete improvement in hearing. Although real ear measurement cannot guarantee perfect hearing, it seeks to optimize the advantage of hearing aids to achieve a hearing improvement that is as near to 100% as feasible.
Our audiologist uses actual ear measurements to get data on the precise sound levels a patient is hearing with a hearing aid. Depending on the type and severity of the hearing loss, we may then accurately modify the sound levels to meet the amplification levels. We can make sure that our patients are getting the right amount of amplification from their hearing devices through real ear measurements.
