Hearing Aid Selection and Fitting
The hearing aid selection process begins with a consultation to learn more about your lifestyles, communication needs, your expectation, and your budget. Hearing aids come in many different styles and offer a wide range of options. They can be rechargeable or use batteries. Most hearing aids can connect to your smart phone and even your TV. The smart phone or tablet can also act as a remote control for the hearing aids.
Hearing aid technology has changed over the years. Signal processing capabilities have greatly improved and offer improved sound quality. They can adapt to various listening environments, filtering out background noise making it easier to hear conversation.
During the hearing aid fitting, the hearing aids are programmed using your audiogram test results. You will be instructed on how to insert, remove, and care for the hearing aids. Real ear measurement is performed to verify the hearing aid fitting.
