Why do I need a hearing aid fitting?
A hearing aid fitting is crucial to ensure that the device meets your specific hearing needs and provides optimal benefit. During the fitting, an audiologist or hearing care professional customizes the hearing aid settings based on your individual hearing profile, which may include factors like the type and degree of hearing loss, your lifestyle, and personal preferences. Real Ear Measurements (REMs) are often conducted during the fitting to measure the actual sound levels in your ear canal with the hearing aids in place, ensuring that the prescribed amplification is accurately delivered. This process enhances the precision of the fitting and contributes to better speech clarity and overall comfort. A well-executed hearing aid fitting is essential for maximizing the effectiveness of the device, improving your communication abilities, and enhancing your quality of life. Additionally, follow-up appointments may be scheduled to make any necessary adjustments and address any concerns or questions you may have about your hearing aids.
