What is the process for fitting invisible hearing aids?

The process for fitting invisible hearing aids typically begins with a comprehensive hearing test. This determines the type and degree of hearing loss and helps a hearing care professional determine whether an invisible hearing aid is suitable for your hearing needs and ear anatomy.

If an invisible hearing aid is appropriate, the fitting process generally includes:

• Hearing assessment: Your hearing is tested to determine which sounds and frequencies you have difficulty hearing.
• Ear examination and impressions: Because many invisible hearing aids are custom-made, an impression or scan of your ear canal may be taken to create a secure and comfortable fit.
• Hearing aid selection: Your hearing needs, lifestyle, preferences, and budget are considered when choosing an appropriate device.
• Programming and fitting: Once your hearing aids are ready, they are programmed according to your hearing test results and adjusted for comfort and sound quality.
• Care instructions: You will learn how to insert and remove your hearing aids, change or charge the batteries where applicable, clean the devices, and care for them properly.
• Follow-up adjustments: As you become accustomed to your hearing aids, additional appointments allow your practitioner to fine-tune the fit and sound settings.
