Real Ear Measurements

The fitting and programming period is the single most important series of appointments you will have with Dr. Olson at Applied Hearing Solutions. As each type of hearing loss is different and can affect individuals in a variety of ways, it takes extreme precision and accuracy to program your hearing aids precisely for your needs. Dr. Olson is one of only a handful of hearing healthcare providers that utilizes real ear measurements, and because of this practice, our patients see an incredibly high rate of success with treatment.

Instead of programming your devices according to manufacturer programming recommendations and using the power of suggestion to confirm that you are hearing well, Dr. Olson takes a different approach utilizing Real Ear Measurement. We never want our patients to accept substandard results, so we take the time to carefully assess how your hearing needs compare to the functionality of your device.

These real ear measurements are just one of the many types of best practices utilized at Applied Hearing Solutions. While it can still take some time to adjust to the robust sounds around you, you can rest assured that your hearing aid is programmed to your exact needs. During your hearing aid fitting, you’ll also learn how to take care of your hearing aids, including proper tips for cleaning, insertion and removal guidelines, and helpful ways to keep your devices performing at a high level consistently for years to come.
