What to Expect During Your Hearing Aid Fitting at Delta Hearing Clinic

Getting hearing aids is a significant step toward improving your hearing and overall quality of life. At Delta Hearing Clinic in Melton, we recognize that this process can seem overwhelming—especially if it’s your first time. To ease your concerns, we concentrate on making your hearing aid fitting simple, comfortable, and tailored to your individual needs. Here’s exactly what to expect when you come in for a hearing aid fitting.

1. A Review of Your Hearing Assessment Results

Before fitting your hearing aids, it’s essential to revisit the results of your hearing test. This ensures that your devices are customized to match your unique hearing profile. We review the types of sounds you struggle with and consider your lifestyle. We also take into account the environments you frequent—be it home, work, or social gatherings. Understanding these elements is vital for optimal fitting.

2. Selecting the Right Hearing Aids for You

Hearing aids are not one-size-fits-all devices. Our experienced audiologist will guide you in selecting a model based on several factors. These include your level of hearing loss, ear shape, budget, and cosmetic preferences. At Delta Hearing, we offer a wide variety of styles and brands, including behind-the-ear, receiver-in-canal, and nearly invisible in-ear options. We will ensure you find a device that suits your needs and looks good while doing so.

3. Custom Programming and Fitting

Once you’ve selected your hearing aids, we move on to the programming phase. We utilize specialized software to tailor the devices according to your specific hearing loss and communication needs. During this fitting, we check for physical comfort, ensuring the devices sit securely in your ears.

For some devices, we might take custom ear impressions if a tailored earmold is needed. Custom earmolds can improve sound delivery and comfort.

4. Real-Ear Measurements (REM) for Precision

To ensure your hearing aids perform optimally, we employ real-ear measurement (REM) technology. This innovative method verifies that your hearing aids deliver the correct amplification. By measuring performance in real-life situations, we ensure your devices perform accurately—not just in a controlled lab environment. This step is crucial for achieving an exceptional listening experience.

5. Training and Orientation

Learning to use your hearing aids correctly is the key to successful adaptation. We offer comprehensive training that covers:

• How to insert and remove your devices.

• How to change batteries or recharge your devices.

• How to clean and maintain your hearing aids effectively.

• How to adjust volume or switch between various listening programs.

  
  

We also provide practical tips to help you adapt to experiencing new sounds again. This adaptation process can be challenging, but with proper guidance, you will find it easier.

6. Follow-Up Appointments and Support

Your hearing doesn’t remain static; it changes over time. Therefore, your hearing care should be ongoing. We schedule follow-up appointments to fine-tune your devices based on your feedback. You will also have access to ongoing support. This includes clean-and-check services and hearing aid maintenance as needed.
