A morning walk or a lively lunch at Boyce-Gyro Beach Park should bring the sounds of conversation and nature. When new hearing aids aren’t tuned correctly, soft voices slip away in background chatter.
HearCare Audiology addresses these specific challenges by combining personal attention with verification. This helps get your devices working properly. From the initial hearing aid selection through fine-tuning, patient education ensures you understand how to get the most out of your devices.
What Happens During a Fitting?
A hearing aid fitting starts with a conversation about your routine and the places where you spend most of your time. We use that information along with your hearing results to choose the style, technology and features that make sense for you.
During the fitting, our audiologist programs the devices for your needs and checks how they sit in your ears. You’ll also learn how to use your hearing aids at home, including handling, charging and basic care.
Verification with Real-Ear Measurements
Every ear is shaped a little differently, and that affects how sound reaches the eardrum. We use real-ear measurements during your fitting to make sure your hearing aids are giving you the right amount of amplification. That way, the settings are based on your ears and your hearing, not a one-size-fits-all program.
During this process, we place a small probe microphone in your ear canal. Your hearing aid then plays calibrated soft, medium and loud speech sounds. We use this real-time feedback to adjust the frequency response and match precise target acoustic levels.
Fine-Tuning for the Places You Spend Time
The first programming session gives us a starting point, but your experience tells us where further adjustments may help. At follow-up visits, we can fine-tune your hearing aids based on what you notice at home or in busier outdoor settings.
Our audiologist uses what you’re noticing in real life to fine-tune your hearing aids. We can adjust speech, background noise and different pitches, and fix issues like feedback if they come up. As your needs change, we can keep making small adjustments so your hearing aids continue to work well where you need them most.
