What to Expect During a Hearing Aid Fitting

What to Expect During a Hearing Aid Fitting

Getting hearing aids is a big step toward better hearing and quality of life. At Delta Hearing Clinic in Melton, we understand that the process can feel overwhelming—especially if it’s your first time. That’s why we focus 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, we revisit the results of your hearing test to ensure your devices are programmed to match your unique hearing profile. This includes reviewing the types of sounds you struggle with, your lifestyle, and the environments you spend time in—whether that’s at home, work, or social settings.

2. Selecting the Right Hearing Aids for You

Hearing aids aren’t one-size-fits-all. Our audiologist will help you choose a model based on your level of hearing loss, ear shape, budget, and cosmetic preferences. At Delta Hearing, we offer a wide range of styles and brands—including behind-the-ear, receiver-in-canal, and nearly invisible in-ear options.

3. Custom Programming and Fitting

Once you’ve selected your hearing aids, we use specialised software to program them according to your hearing loss and communication needs. During the fitting, we ensure the devices are physically comfortable and sitting securely in your ears.

We may also take custom ear impressions if you're using a device that requires a tailored earmold.

4. Real-Ear Measurements (REM) for Precision

We use real-ear measurement (REM) technology to verify that your hearing aids are delivering the correct amplification. This ensures your devices perform accurately in real-life conditions—not just in a lab setting.

5. Training and Orientation

Learning to use your hearing aids properly is key to success. We’ll teach you:

• How to insert and remove your devices

• How to change batteries or charge them

• How to clean and maintain your hearing aids

• How to adjust volume or switch between listening programs

We also provide practical tips to help you adapt to hearing new sounds again.

6. Follow-Up Appointments and Support

Your hearing doesn’t stop changing—and neither should your hearing care. We schedule follow-up visits to fine-tune your devices based on your feedback. You’ll also have access to ongoing support, clean-and-check services, and hearing aid maintenance.
