Hearing Test & Fitting
Consultation
Once you have told us your problems and your personal expectations with regard to your hearing, we then complete a comprehensive hearing evaluation.
With this information we can then provide you with detailed advice on the most appropriate products and facilities to meet your requirements:
- Which ear has a problem hearing?
- Which style of hearing aid is most suitable for you?
- Do you want to regulate the volume of the hearing aid yourself, or would you prefer a hearing aid that adjusts itself? (automatic)
- Which aid best suits your hearing loss or your personal situation? A Completely-in-the Ear, In-the-Canal, In-the-Ear (ITE), behind-the-ear aid (BTE) aid or open fit (BTE).
Fitting
To determine the optimum settings for your hearing aids, we use your audiogram, as well as your personal impression of how well you can hear. This adjustment process is carried out using a computer in our office.
If you have not worn hearing aids before, it may take you time to adjust. You can start by wearing your hearing aid for a couple of hours each day. As you become more familiar with the new sounds, the hearing aid can be worn more frequently.
At the end of the fitting appointment we will arrange to see you again to make sure the hearing aids are performing optimally.
Based upon what you tell us about how well you can hear in your everyday surroundings, we will make any necessary adjustments to your hearing aids.
After Care Service
At Adelaide Digital Hearing Solutions we pride ourselves on the care we provide post hearing aid fitting.
You can have your hearing aids checked by us at any time. Just bring them into any of Permanent offices or arrange to drop them at one of our visiting clinics in your area.
This will ensure that the sound quality remains as good as ever, and will extend the life of your hearing aids.
