What is a hearing aid fitting?

A hearing aid fitting is more than just putting the devices in your ears. It’s a personalized process that ensures your hearing aids:

  • Match your exact hearing loss prescription
  • Fit comfortably in or around your ears
  • Are programmed for your daily environments
  • Work with your personal preferences and goals

Our audiologists take the time to fine-tune your devices using real-ear measurements, advanced programming tools, and your direct feedback—so your hearing aids sound natural and feel right.

What to Expect During Your Hearing Aid Fitting

At Ear Works Audiology, we take a detailed, step-by-step approach:

Initial Programming

Using your hearing test results, we program your hearing aids to meet your specific hearing needs, especially in speech frequencies.

Real-Ear Measurement (REM)

We use a tiny microphone to measure how sound actually reaches your eardrum, ensuring your hearing aids are delivering the right volume at the right pitches.

Physical Fitting & Comfort Check

We make sure your hearing aids sit comfortably and securely. If needed, we’ll adjust the fit or recommend custom earmolds for the best feel.

Training & Instructions

We’ll show you how to insert, remove, clean, and maintain your hearing aids. You’ll also learn how to adjust volume, switch programs, and pair with your phone or other devices.

Follow-Up Schedule

Fittings aren’t one-and-done. We’ll schedule follow-ups to make adjustments and answer questions as you get used to your new hearing experience.

Why Professional Fitting Matters

Even the best hearing aids won’t perform well if they’re not properly fitted. Poorly fitted hearing aids can cause:
  • Feedback or whistling
  • Muffled or overly sharp sounds
  • Physical discomfort or irritation
  • Frustration with clarity in noisy settings

With a professional fitting, you’ll notice improved speech understanding, less listening fatigue, and better satisfaction overall.
