Our Fitting Process

1. First Fit Programming

Based on your audiogram results, we program your hearing aids for optimal performance. This initial programming, or "first fit," serves as a starting point for your hearing aid experience.

2. Real Ear Verification / Speech Mapping

We use advanced Real Ear Measurement (REM) and Live Speech Mapping (LSM) technologies to verify that your hearing aids are providing the right amount of amplification across all frequencies. This process involves:

  • Placing a small microphone in your ear canal alongside your hearing aid
  • Playing various sounds and speech signals
  • Measuring the actual output of the hearing aid in your ear
  • Adjusting the hearing aid settings to match your prescription targets

This step is crucial in ensuring that your hearing aids are tailored to your specific ear canal acoustics and hearing loss pattern.

3. Speech-in-Noise Testing

We conduct speech-in-noise tests to assess how well you can understand speech in challenging listening environments with your new hearing aids. This helps us fine-tune the settings to improve your ability to communicate in various real-world situations.

Gradual Adjustment Period

We understand that adapting to hearing aids takes time. That's why we offer:

  • 1-3 weekly follow-up visits to gradually increase amplification
  • Opportunity to provide feedback on your experience
  • Fine-tuning of settings based on your real-world experiences

Our goal is to reach your full prescription targets while ensuring your comfort throughout the process.

Ongoing Support

Our commitment to your hearing health doesn't end after the initial fitting. We provide:

  • Regular check-ups to ensure optimal performance
  • Adjustments as your hearing needs change
  • Cleaning and maintenance services
  • Continued counseling and support

At The Hearing Clinic, we're dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible hearing outcomes. Our precision fitting process, combined with ongoing support, ensures that you get the most out of your hearing aids and can fully engage in the sounds of life. We provide our expert hearing aid fitting services at both our Cherry Creek and Arvada locations.
