At Nova Audiology, we are committed to providing personalized, high-quality audiology services to the Sugar Land, TX area. Our lead audiologist, Dr. Sadaf Momin, is an expert in a range of innovative technologies, including Real Ear Measurement (REM), also known as Live Speech Mapping.
REM is a cutting-edge hearing aid fitting and verification method that ensures your devices are programmed to meet your unique hearing needs. Unlike traditional methods that rely on a series of beeps and noises, REM uses speech as a stimulus, allowing for more precise adjustments to your hearing aids.
During your REM appointment, small microphones are placed in your ear canal to measure the response of the hearing aid in your ear. This process takes into account the natural and individual characteristics of both your ear and your hearing loss. To make the process more interactive, we encourage you to bring along a family member or close friend to act as the “gauge” in your ability to hear live voices.
Our high-tech equipment allows Dr. Momin to visualize what you are hearing through your hearing aids on a screen in real-time. The results may also be displayed on a wall-mounted screen, enabling you to see the adjustments and participate in the process. This interactive approach allows you and your family members to understand the differences that hearing aids can make in your hearing ability.
REM is known for its accuracy and efficiency. It increases the chances that your hearing aid programming will be done correctly on the first try, reducing the number of return visits. By allowing you and your family to see the immediate results of your hearing aids and their positive impact on your ability to hear, REM creates a more positive fitting experience.
With REM, you will have the ability to hear the improvements immediately, and you will be shown exactly what you can and cannot hear in real-time. This method focuses on the important and basic function of being able to effectively hear human speech, increasing your confidence and comfort in using your new hearing aids.
