Choosing the right hearing aid depends on your type of hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget. Our hearing aid specialists guide you through the process, explaining the different styles, features, and benefits of each option. We take the time to understand your hearing needs and recommend the best device for you.
Hearing Assessments
The first step to better hearing is a professional hearing test. This helps determine the level and type of hearing loss. Common tests include:
- Pure-Tone Audiometry – Measures how well you hear different tones.
- Speech Audiometry – Tests how well you understand words in quiet and noisy settings.
- Tympanometry – Checks the health of your eardrum and middle ear.
Hearing Aid Styles
Hearing aids come in different styles, each designed for different needs:
- Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) – Small and nearly invisible, best for mild to moderate hearing loss. Pros: Discreet. Cons: Shorter battery life, can be difficult to handle.
- In-the-Canal (ITC) – Slightly larger, sits partly in the ear canal. Pros: More features than CIC. Cons: Still small, may be hard to adjust.
- In-the-Ear (ITE) – Fits in the outer ear, easier to handle. Pros: Larger battery, easier controls. Cons: More visible than ITC or CIC.
- Behind-the-Ear (BTE) – Rests behind the ear with a tube leading to an earpiece. Pros: Suitable for all levels of hearing loss, easy to adjust. Cons: More noticeable.
Hearing Aid Fitting
Once you select a hearing aid, our hearing aid specialists ensure a comfortable and secure fit. We take ear impressions and customize the device for your ear shape and hearing needs. A proper fit ensures clear sound and prevents discomfort.
Hearing Aid Programming and Adjustments
Your hearing needs may change over time, requiring adjustments. Our hearing aid specialists fine-tune your hearing aid settings for comfort, clarity, and background noise reduction. Adjustments may be needed due to changes in hearing, feedback issues, or new environments.
Counseling and Education
Understanding how to use and care for your hearing aids is key to success. We provide guidance on:
- Communication strategies
- Proper device care
- Managing hearing loss in daily life
Our hearing aid specialists ensure you feel confident using your hearing aids.
Real Ear Measurements
A real ear measurement test ensures your hearing aids are delivering the right level of amplification for your ears. This involves placing a small microphone in your ear to check sound levels while you wear your hearing aids.
Why is Real Ear Measurement Important?
This test confirms your hearing aids are set correctly for your specific hearing needs. It helps improve speech clarity and ensures you receive the best possible hearing experience.
