Hearing Aid Fittings
Hearing loss can significantly affect one's quality of life. The solution often lies in the use of hearing aids, which, when fitted correctly, can greatly improve your hearing capabilities.
Our Service Steps
Selection Process
We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your lifestyle, needs, preferences, and expectations. Based on this information and your hearing test results, we recommend suitable hearing aids for you.
Programming and Customization
Once your hearing aids arrive, we program them according to your specific hearing loss and preferences. We use Real Ear Measurement, a technique that measures sound levels in your ear while wearing your hearing aids, to ensure optimal settings.
Education and Adaptation
We educate you on how to use and care for your hearing aids, demonstrating insertion, removal, cleaning, battery changes, and volume adjustments. We also provide information leaflets for future reference.
Understanding Your Hearing Aids
Adapting to your new hearing aids can take time. We help you plan this adjustment period, starting with wearing your devices for a few hours daily and gradually increasing the duration. Consistent use is key to helping your brain relearn how to process sounds it has been missing.

Hearing aids are powerful devices that can significantly improve quality of life for those with hearing loss. However, their effectiveness largely depends on how well they are fitted. At Hearing Consultants, we are deeply committed to providing personalized hearing aid fittings to ensure optimal results for our clients.
Our fitting process begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your lifestyle, needs, and preferences. We then conduct a thorough hearing evaluation to determine the most suitable hearing aid options for you.
Once your hearing aids arrive, we carefully program and customize them using advanced techniques such as Real Ear Measurement. This ensures that your devices are tailored to your specific hearing profile.
Our fitting process includes:
- Device Selection: Choosing the right hearing aid based on your needs and test results.
- Programming and Customization: Fine-tuning your hearing aids for optimal performance.
- Education and Training: Teaching you how to use and care for your devices effectively.
- Adaptation Planning: Helping you adjust to your new hearing aids gradually.
After the initial fitting, we schedule follow-up appointments to make any necessary adjustments and ensure you're getting the most out of your hearing aids. Our experienced audiologists are dedicated to guiding you through every step of this journey, providing ongoing support and care.
At Hearing Consultants, we understand that each person's hearing needs are unique. We strive to create a comfortable environment where all your questions and concerns are addressed, ensuring you receive the highest quality care throughout your hearing aid experience.
A hearing aid fitting usually takes about 60-90 minutes, allowing time for programming, adjustments, and instructions.
Most people need a short adjustment period, typically a few weeks, to get fully comfortable with their new hearing aids.
We usually schedule follow-up appointments at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months after your initial fitting, with additional visits as needed.
Many modern hearing aids offer smartphone compatibility, allowing you to adjust settings and stream audio directly.
We offer a trial period for you to test your hearing aids in various environments, and we can make adjustments as needed during this time.
