What should I expect during a hearing aid fitting?

During a hearing aid fitting at Nardelli Audiology, individuals can anticipate a thorough and personalized experience aimed at ensuring that their hearing aids are adjusted to meet their specific needs. Initially, the audiologist will review the results of your hearing evaluation, which serves as the foundation for selecting the appropriate hearing aids. This discussion will include information about the different types and styles of hearing aids available, as well as the technology incorporated in them. Once the appropriate device has been chosen, the audiologist will proceed to fit the hearing aids to your ears. This process may involve inserting the device into your ear and making adjustments to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The audiologist may also take the time to show you how to properly place and remove the hearing aids, as well as how to care for and maintain them. Subsequently, the audiologist will perform adjustments to the settings of the hearing aids based on your feedback regarding sound quality, comfort, and clarity. This is crucial because every individual's hearing experience is unique. You may be asked to test the hearing aids in various environments to determine any further adjustments that may be required. Finally, the appointment will typically include education on how to use the device effectively, addressing any questions you may have. It is important to remember that the fitting is not necessarily a one-time event; follow-up appointments are common and encouraged to ensure optimal performance of the hearing aids.
