Getting new hearing aids is only the first step toward better hearing; the real work happens during the fitting and programming process where these devices are adjusted specifically for your hearing loss and daily needs. At Precision Audiology, our audiologists take detailed measurements of your hearing and programs your devices to provide the right amount of amplification for different sounds and frequencies, creating a listening experience that feels natural and comfortable.
The customization process continues as we fine-tune your hearing aids based on how you actually use them in real-world situations. We can adjust settings for different environments, modify how your devices handle background noise and create multiple programs for various activities like quiet conversations, busy restaurants or outdoor gatherings.
What You Will Learn During Your Fitting
During your hearing aid fitting, you will learn how to use your devices effectively and understand the different features they offer. Our audiologists will explain how to insert and remove your hearing aids, adjust the volume and care for them properly. You will also gain insight into how your hearing aids can improve listening in daily situations. This information helps you feel confident with your new devices from the start.
What to Expect During Your Fitting
Your fitting will begin with an assessment to ensure your hearing aids match your hearing needs. Your audiologist will program the devices and make initial adjustments while explaining each step. You may try different settings to see which works best for your listening preferences. The goal is to make sure your hearing aids feel comfortable and functional.
Live Speech Mapping and Benefits
Live speech mapping uses real-time measurements to show how your hearing aids respond to different sounds. This process ensures your devices are set to deliver clear speech in a variety of environments. You can hear the difference immediately and see how adjustments improve your hearing. It helps our audiologists fine-tune your devices for the most natural listening experience.
Adjusting to Hearing Aids and Follow-Up Benefits
Adjusting to new hearing aids takes time, and your brain may need to get used to hearing certain sounds again. Follow-up appointments allow your audiologist to make additional adjustments based on your feedback. These visits help improve comfort, clarity and overall performance. Regular check-ins support a smoother transition and better long-term results.
