Hearing Aids

Our Hearing Aid Fitting Process

Once you've selected your hearing aids after a comprehensive evaluation, our Audiologist will program them based on a prescription to meet your specific hearing needs. This process involves adjusting the hearing aids to provide the correct levels of amplification for your particular hearing loss.

During your fitting appointment, which typically lasts at least an hour, our team will explain how to use the devices, how to insert and remove them, how to change or charge batteries, and how to care for and clean the devices. We encourage you to bring a family member or close friend to the hearing aid fitting to help remember all the information given and provide support.

Understanding Your Hearing Aids

When you put the hearing aids in for the first time, you may have different emotions about the sounds you hear. This is normal and to be expected. The goal of the hearing aid is to make everyday sounds audible and comfortable, but the sound you hear should be clear and pleasant. Small changes can be made to the hearing aids at your first fitting if there are things that you feel should be adjusted right away.

Adjusting to Hearing Aids

Attitude is one important key to success with hearing aids. Studies have shown that people who have a positive attitude do better with hearing aids. If you, as well as your spouse or family, approach your hearing aid fitting with a positive outlook, you will have a much better listening experience more quickly. Keep in mind that it may take some time to get used to the sounds you were missing, and by working closely with your hearing professional, you will get the most out of your new hearing aids.

Follow-Up and Support

A  week after your initial fitting, a follow-up visit will be scheduled. During this appointment, your audiologist will fine-tune and adjust your hearing aids as needed and answer any questions you may have. We have a treatment plan process in place to allow you to habituate to the hearing aids and to ensure you are hearing to the fullest potential. On-going clean and check and maintenance support will also be provided so you can continue to focus on enjoying better hearing.
