Although Hearing Aids have made significant advances in recent years, they only work for you if the settings are correct. It’s essential that the devices are programmed and fitted correctly to your individual hearing prescription, otherwise you may only receive a fraction of the potential benefit.
Your audiologist reviews your hearing needs and examines your ear canals to ensure they are clear for a comfortable and accurate fitting. This step prepares for precise measurements.
Using specialised software, your hearing aids are programmed to your unique hearing loss, ensuring soft sounds are audible and loud sounds are comfortable. Initial adjustments are made.
A small probe measures the sound reaching your eardrum, allowing for precise adjustments to match your prescription. This ensures optimal clarity and benefit from your hearing aids.
You'll receive thorough instruction on how to insert, remove, clean and maintain your hearing aids. Charging or battery replacement and connectivity (if applicable) will be explained.
Before leaving, we'll ensure your comfort and answer all questions, outlining our aftercare to support your long-term hearing success.

Hearing aids have three basic parts: a microphone, amplifier, and speaker. The microphone picks up sound, converts it to electrical signals, the amplifier increases the strength of the signals, and the speaker delivers them into the ear.
