Communication Needs Assessment/Consultation
Before your fitting, you will have a detailed conversation with your hearing specialist about your needs and capabilities. We’ll talk about the environments in which you might commonly use your hearing aid, the type of hearing aids you’re interested in, and so on. Additionally:
- A thorough hearing test will be conducted. This test will provide baseline settings for your hearing aid.
- If needed, earmold impressions will be taken of your ears (this will usually occur two weeks prior to your fitting session). This will help ensure a comfortable fit.
Hearing aid fitting
A hearing aid fitting is about more than the way a hearing device sits in your ear. During a fitting session, Dr. Gina will run several diagnostics designed to make sure your hearing aids are working at peak performance.
During a typical hearing aid fitting:
- A Real Ear test will be performed to ensure your hearing aid is providing the correct amount of amplification and meeting your hearing prescription.
- We will make any final adjustments needed to ensure your hearing aid is in optimum working order.
- You will be instructed on insertion and removal of your device, typical maintenance and upkeep tasks, such as how to change or charge the batteries of the hearing aid.
The duration of a fitting will vary depending on the nature of the appointment. In general, however, hearing aid recipients can count on an appointment that lasts somewhere between 45-60 minutes.
Follow-up care, calibration & real-ear measurement
Hearing aid verification with real-ear measurements makes sure your device is tailored to the shape and acoustics of your ear. Return appointments reassess goals, adjust settings, and troubleshoot. Telehealth remote care is available for supported devices.
