Our Doctors of Audiology are committed to following research-backed best practices, ensuring that you receive the maximum benefit from your hearing devices. We understand that every patient's hearing needs are unique, which is why we dedicate significant time and attention to detail during our fitting process.

The Importance of Real Ear Measurement

Real Ear Measurement is a crucial component of our fitting process. This technology allows our audiologists to verify that your hearing aids are programmed exactly to your hearing loss prescription. By measuring the actual output of your hearing aids while they're in your ears, we can make precise adjustments to ensure you're receiving the right amount of amplification across all frequencies.

This level of accuracy is simply not possible with traditional fitting methods that rely on estimates or averages.

Benefits of Our Best Practice Approach

Our comprehensive approach to hearing aid fittings offers numerous advantages:

Improved speech understanding in various environments

Reduced listening fatigue and increased comfort

Faster adaptation to your new hearing aids

Ensuring that you hear your absolute best with your new or existing hearing aids requires a commitment of time and attention to detail. At Applied Hearing Solutions, our Doctors of Audiology are committed to following research-backed best practices with extreme precision to ensure you receive the optimal amount of benefit from your hearing aids.

The process of improving your hearing begins with a comprehensive hearing evaluation by our audiologists. You may decide, based on this evaluation, that hearing aids are the right solution for you. Our proprietary 45-day Best Practice Fitting includes a very structured 4-appointment sequence so you and your audiologist have enough time to collaborate together as you solve your hearing difficulties. This period of fitting and programming is perhaps the most crucial series of appointments you will have with our Audiologists.

Programming hearing aids should not be guesswork. By utilizing Real Ear Measurement, our Audiologists are able to verify that your hearing aids are programmed exactly to your hearing loss prescription. When combined with your feedback, we are able to maximize every aspect of your treatment. This approach helps us ensure an incredibly high rate of success with treatment.

By the end of your 45-Day Best Practice Fitting sequence, you will know exactly how well you will hear with your hearing aids, because we measure and verify every aspect of your hearing treatment.
