Prescription Hearing Aid Fitting and Programming
Schedule Your Hearing Aid Fitting
A hearing aid fitting connects your hearing results with your everyday listening needs. The appointment considers sound settings, physical fit, and the support you need as you begin using your devices.
Personalized Fitting
Why a Professional Prescription Fitting Matters
More than choosing a hearing aid.
Professional fitting brings together programming, physical fit, and verification. Your hearing results and everyday listening priorities help guide the appointment.
Your hearing care professional uses your audiogram to guide programming, checks the fit of the devices, and discusses how they sound and feel. Your feedback helps guide adjustments, including changes after you have tried your hearing aids in everyday situations.
- Programming guided by your hearing results.
- Checks for physical fit, comfort, and feedback.
- Verification of the sound delivered by the hearing aids.
- Follow-up adjustments based on your listening experiences.
Verifying Your Fitting
Real Ear Measurement (REM): The Gold Standard of Verification
Measure the sound reaching your ear.
Real Ear Measurement (REM) checks the sound your hearing aid delivers in your own ear. It accounts for the size and shape of your ear canal rather than relying only on a manufacturer estimate.
- A thin microphone tube sits in your ear canal alongside the hearing aid while sounds play from a speaker.
- Measurements are compared with targets based on your hearing results.
- The professional checks hearing aid output for soft, conversational, and louder sounds.
- Settings can be adjusted using the measurements and your feedback.
Verification is part of a personalized fitting. Ask your provider how they check hearing aid performance and which verification methods they use.
REM verifies sound delivery against fitting targets. It does not guarantee that every conversation will be effortless or that every listening situation will sound the same.
Your listening experiences matter alongside the measurements. Follow-up discussions help identify situations that may need further adjustment or communication strategies.
Made for Your Ear
Custom-Fit Hearing Aids
A shape made for your ear.
Custom in-the-ear and in-the-canal hearing aids are made to the shape of your ear. The most suitable style depends on your hearing needs, ear anatomy, ease of handling, and preferences. Your provider checks the physical fit and discusses comfort, sound, and any adjustments needed.
Earpiece Options
Custom Ear Molds for RIC Devices
Find the fit that suits your needs.
Receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids may use a dome or a custom earmold. Your provider considers the sound you need, physical fit, retention, and ease of handling when recommending an earpiece. A custom mold is an option for some ears, not a universal requirement or a guarantee of better comfort.
Custom Impressions
Digital Ear Scanning for Custom Fit
Digital ear scanning is one way to create an impression for custom earmolds and hearing aid shells. When available, a scanner captures the shape of the ear for a digital model.
- Creates a digital impression for custom earpieces.
- Offers an alternative to an impression made with traditional materials.
- The provider checks the resulting physical fit and discusses any adjustments needed.
Follow-Up Support
Ongoing Programming and Fine-Tuning
Fine-tuning for everyday listening.
Getting used to hearing aids takes time. Keep notes about conversations, environments, or sounds that are comfortable or difficult, and bring those examples to your provider.
Follow-up appointments offer an opportunity to review your experiences and adjust settings when appropriate. Ask about the follow-up schedule, what care is included, and any charges before starting treatment.
