Prescription Hearing Aid Fittings
If hearing aids are recommended after your hearing test, we will work closely with you to identify optimal devices for your hearing needs. Today's Prescription hearing aids are more innovative and savvy than ever before. A wide range of options offers various styles, features, and technologies. These features allow hearing aids to seamlessly integrate into everyday life while supporting hearing needs in all environments.
With many options, we will use our expertise and the specifics of your hearing needs to navigate your options. There are a few factors that help identify devices that are suitable for your hearing and lifestyle needs, which include:
- The type of hearing loss you are experiencing
- The degree of impairment
- The needs of each ear, which may not always be the same
Lifestyle factors are another essential consideration, including what your work and social life look like and other activities you engage in regularly. All of these factors illuminate the types of settings you are in and what your hearing aids need to be able to do to best support your hearing in these contexts. We will present you with a few options, and you will select the hearing aids you are interested in.
During your Prescription hearing aid fitting appointment, you will receive your new device, programmed with specific settings that effectively meet your hearing needs. We will ensure that the hearing aid fits and is comfortable, making adjustments during the appointment if needed. We will also perform measurements to ensure your hearing aids are calibrated with the correct amplification levels. This test allows us to confirm that soft and loud sounds are amplified in comfortable ways.
In addition to receiving and programming your hearing aids, you will learn everything about them, including how to:
- Use your hearing aids
- Maintain your hearing aids
- Troubleshoot any issues you may experience
This training is valuable and will help you adjust to your hearing aids with greater ease. Your Prescription hearing aid fitting appointment is also an excellent opportunity to ask questions, take notes, and get all the necessary clarification.
