Comprehensive Guide to Hearing Aid Fitting
Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough of what you can expect during your hearing aid fitting procedure:
- Pre-assessment and Case History: We begin by discussing your hearing concerns, medical history, and specific listening challenges. This helps us understand your needs comprehensively.
- Audiometric Testing: Detailed audiometric testing is performed to accurately measure your hearing thresholds across different frequencies, providing a clear picture of your hearing profile.
- Device Selection Trial: Based on your test results and lifestyle, various hearing aid devices are demonstrated and trialled, allowing you to experience different options.
- Custom Programming: Once a device is selected, it undergoes custom programming based on your audiogram and a prescriptive formula.
- Real Ear Measurement (REM) to Verify Output: Real Ear Measurement is then performed. This clinical verification process uses a small microphone in your ear canal to precisely measure the actual sound levels produced by the hearing aid at your eardrum, ensuring the output matches your prescription.
- Fine-tuning Based on User Feedback: After REM, we fine-tune the hearing aids based on your feedback and listening experiences, making adjustments until you achieve optimal comfort and clarity.
- Education and Counselling on Daily Use: You'll receive thorough education on how to insert, remove, clean, and care for your hearing aid, along with tips for adapting to daily use.
- Ongoing Review and Adjustment Schedule: Our commitment extends beyond the initial fitting. We establish an ongoing review and hearing aid adjustment schedule (typically every 6-12 months) to ensure continued performance and satisfaction.
Benefits of Hearing Aid Fitting Service
Custom-fitted hearing aids provide better outcomes than off-the-shelf options. Our professional hearing aid fitting service unlocks their full potential, offering numerous advantages that enhance your daily life through:
Personalised Hearing Solutions for Optimal Clarity
Device output is customised to match your real-world hearing needs, not just your audiogram. This personalisation improves clarity in conversations, group settings, and on calls, which also helps reduce listening fatigue.
Enhanced Comfort and Fit
Physical comfort is crucial. We ensure proper device size and ear canal fit, which prevents feedback and enhances wearability. This contributes to comfort while walking, exercising, or working, boosting both function and satisfaction.
Improved Hearing Performance in Various Environments
Well-fitted hearing aids adapt to changing acoustic settings with features like directional microphones and noise filters. This allows for smoother transitions between quiet rooms, noisy streets, and restaurants, optimising your performance in diverse listening situations.
Why Hearing Aid Fitting is Important?
Hearing loss is complex and highly personal, and generic devices often fail to meet individual needs. Understanding how hearing aids are fitted by professionals is therefore crucial, as it ensures accuracy, comfort, and long-term adaptation. This process moves beyond simple placement, precisely outlining how to fit a hearing aid to your unique hearing profile through meticulous calibration.
Real Ear Measurement (REM) during fitting is a key clinical verification step, objectively confirming the hearing aid delivers correct sound levels at your eardrum. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach is vital for optimal speech understanding and overall listening satisfaction.
