Hearing Aid Fittings
At Avalon Hearing, we are committed to ensuring that you receive the perfect hearing aid tailored to your needs. Our fitting process is designed to provide clarity, comfort, and optimal performance, all while offering the support and guidance you need throughout your hearing journey.
1. Hearing Test
Our process begins with a comprehensive hearing test to accurately assess your hearing loss. This essential step helps us understand your specific needs and determines the most suitable hearing aid for you. A thorough evaluation sets the foundation for an effective and personalized fitting.
2. Personalized Consultation
Following your evaluation, we conduct a detailed consultation to discuss your lifestyle, preferences, and hearing needs. Together, we will recommend not only the best hearing aids but also a treatment plan that works best for you. We work with all major manufacturers to offer a wide range of options and are dedicated to ensuring you find both a device and a plan that you’ll love and that fits your lifestyle.
3. Delivery Appointment
The delivery appointment is where we fit your hearing aids for the first time. This appointment focuses on achieving a good initial fit and teaching you the basics of using your hearing aids. It’s normal to experience sounds that seem loud or sharp and to hear your own voice differently at first—these are part of the adjustment process. During this visit, we’ll also answer any questions you may have, so don’t hesitate to call if you need assistance. This is just the first of your follow-up appointments; we’ll return in 1-2 weeks to check on your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
4. Real Ear Measurement
Real ear measurement is a crucial step in our fitting process. During this appointment, we will increase the volume of your hearing aids towards your prescription and perform real ear measurement to ensure your devices are meeting your prescriptive needs. This step is the most important part of the process, as it guarantees that your hearing aids are delivering the precise amplification required for optimal hearing. We will make any necessary adjustments and fine-tune your hearing aids to ensure they are performing at their best.
5. Follow-Up Care
Hearing care is a journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, make necessary adjustments, and ensure that your hearing aids continue to meet your needs. Our team is always available to help, and we’re committed to being there for you throughout your hearing journey.
