About
The Personalized Fitting Process
Choosing the right hearing aid is a balance of science and personal preference. We take the results of your hearing test and consultation to recommend the perfect hearing aids. Then, we work with you to give you a personalized fit. Together we consider:
Your Lifestyle
The activities you engage in, your work environment, and your social habits all influence the type of hearing aid and the settings that will best suit your needs.
Aesthetic and Comfort Preferences
How the hearing aid looks and feels is equally important to its functionality. We ensure your comfort and confidence in wearing your chosen device.
Advanced Technology and Features
Modern hearing aids come equipped with various features, from Bluetooth connectivity to noise reduction. We discuss these options to find the features that will enhance your hearing experience. During the fitting, we calibrate programs and settings based on your hearing test results.
Implementing Real Ear Measurements
Accuracy in hearing aid performance is non-negotiable. Aspire Audiology adheres to the best industry practices, including functional gain testing and using Real Ear Measurements (REM) to make sure your devices are at their best. REM is a method used to verify that your hearing aids are programmed correctly for your unique ear anatomy and hearing loss. This involves:
Measuring How Sound is Delivered
We measure how sound delivered by the hearing aid interacts with your ear canal. This helps us make adjustments to programs.
Fine-tuning the Hearing Aid
Based on REM results, we can adjust the hearing aid settings to ensure that it delivers sound accurately according to your hearing loss profile.
Ensuring Optimal Performance
REM ensures that the hearing aids provide the right amount of amplification for all sounds, from the softest whisper to the loudest music, tailored specifically for your hearing needs.
Beyond the Fitting: Education and Adaptation
Adapting to your new hearing aids involves more than just wearing them. It's a process that requires understanding and patience, and our team is here to support you every step of the way. We provide comprehensive education on how to use and maintain your hearing aids, including:
Daily Usage Tips
How to insert and remove your hearing aids, turn them on and off, and use their features effectively. We also offer more tips on how to use the programs and settings for the best results.
Maintenance Guidance
Cleaning your devices, changing filters, and storing them properly will extend their lifespan. We’ll review daily cleaning practices.
Battery Management
Whether you’re using disposable or rechargeable batteries, we show you how to manage your hearing aid power efficiently.
Adjustments and Follow-up Support
Our commitment to your hearing health doesn't end with the initial fitting. Adjustment periods vary, and it's not uncommon to require follow-up visits to fine-tune your hearing aids. As you get used to your devices, you may need some slight changes to your settings. These appointments allow us to:
Assess Your Progress
Gathering feedback on your experiences helps us understand how you’re adapting to your hearing aids.
Make Necessary Adjustments
Based on your feedback, we can fine-tune the programming of your hearing aids to improve comfort and performance.
