Hearing Aid Fittings.
At Sound Hearing Audiology and Speech, every fitting is performed by our audiologists, whose combined expertise and lived experience ensure patients not only hear better, but feel genuinely confident and comfortable doing so.
How Hearing Aid Fittings Work
Every fitting is built around you.
Step 2
Real Ear Measurement Fitting
Using Real Ear Measurement (REM), we verify that the hearing aid is delivering the exact amount of amplification your ears need at every frequency.
Step 3
Orientation and Follow-Up Care
We walk you through how to use and care for your devices, and schedule follow-up visits to fine-tune performance as you adjust.
A fitting done right changes everything.
Studies show that a significant number of hearing aids end up in a drawer, not because the technology failed, but because the fitting process was incomplete. A thorough, professionally verified fitting ensures your devices become a natural, comfortable part of your daily life rather than something you tolerate.
A professionally performed fitting with Real Ear Measurement means your hearing aids are verified to your exact hearing needs, not just programmed to an average.
- REM verification ensures precise, personalized amplification
- Expert selection matches technology to your lifestyle
- Comfortable fit reduces listening fatigue throughout the day
- Ongoing adjustments keep performance optimized over time
- Proper orientation builds confidence wearing devices daily
