Want to get the best performance out of your hearing aid? You can take comfort in knowing that real-ear measurements taken during the fitting process will ensure that your hearing device lives up to its full potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing Aid Fitting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When fitting patients for hearing aids, real-ear measurements provide a level of accuracy unavailable with software programs. The gold standard of hearing aid fitting considers an individual\u2019s unique anatomy, such as ear canal volume, providing a true measurement of a hearing aid\u2019s effectiveness for that patient\u2019s specific hearing loss. Without an accurate assessment of a hearing aid\u2019s amplification levels, a patient can walk away with a hearing aid that delivers substandard performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all hearing specialists use real-ear measurements\u2014the process can be time-consuming, especially for experts who are unfamiliar with the equipment, which can be expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some hearing specialists may believe that fitting algorithms included with regular programming software are accurate enough, but these do not allow for real-ear target matching to measure the correct amount of hearing aid gain and output required, based on the patient\u2019s level of hearing loss as well as their natural ear anatomy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitting Process <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process is straightforward and, once mastered, should take fewer than five minutes per ear. A probe microphone is inserted into the ear, and hearing aid output is measured on a chart, where different test results (directional, noise reduction, feedback suppression and frequency lowering) can be compared. This objective process utilizes scientific data rather than guesswork to provide true data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
