Prescription hearing aid fitting

Real ear measurement ensures your hearing aids are fitted by prescription, not guesswork.

Hearing aids fit to your ears, not the other way around

Every ear is different. Real ear measurement takes the guesswork out of hearing aid fitting by using live measurements of how sound travels through your unique ear canal. We adjust your aids until they match your prescription exactly.

Questions

What you need to know about real ear measurement fitting

What is real ear measurement?

Real ear measurement is the gold standard for hearing aid fitting. A small microphone placed in your ear canal measures exactly how your hearing aids perform in your unique anatomy. This prescription approach beats guesswork every time.

How long does fitting take?

The complete fitting process typically takes one to two hours. We measure your ear canal, test your hearing aids at different volumes, and make adjustments until everything sounds right. It's time well spent for a lifetime of better hearing.

Why not just buy hearing aids online?

Off-the-shelf hearing aids use generic settings that don't account for your ear's shape or your specific hearing loss pattern. Real ear measurement ensures your aids are calibrated precisely to your needs. The difference is like the difference between a suit off the rack and one tailored to fit.

Will my hearing aids feel uncomfortable?

Comfort comes from proper fit and correct settings. Real ear measurement helps us get both right from the start. Most patients report their aids feel natural within a few days of proper fitting.

Can settings be adjusted later?

Absolutely. Your hearing can change, and your preferences may shift as you adjust. We can fine-tune your aids anytime using real ear measurement to ensure they continue working perfectly for you.
