Full Hearing Review and Fine Tuning of your Hearing Aids
Full Hearing Review and Fine Tuning of your Hearing Aids
If your hearing aids are uncomfortable, unclear or no longer providing the benefit you expected, a professional review may help. Even well-selected hearing aids can require adjustment as your hearing, lifestyle and listening needs change.
Better Hearing Co. provides hearing aid adjustment in Christchurch for people who would like their existing devices reviewed. Depending on the manufacturer and model, we may also be able to assist if your hearing aids were originally purchased from another clinic.
Your appointment may include:
- Discussing the situations in which your hearing aids are not performing well
- Checking the condition and function of the devices
- Cleaning the hearing aids and replacing appropriate consumable parts
- Checking the fit of the domes, receivers or earmoulds
- Completing an updated hearing assessment
- Reviewing the existing programming and calibrating the devices
- Using real-ear measurement to assess the sound reaching your eardrum
- Hearing aid fine tuning based on objective results and your feedback
Common concerns include speech sounding unclear, excessive background noise, feedback or whistling, poor comfort, an unbalanced sound between the ears, difficulty hearing television or problems using hearing aids with a mobile phone.
Hearing aid calibration is a personalised process. Rather than simply making the devices louder, we look at how different frequencies are being amplified and whether the settings are appropriate for your hearing levels.
Some devices may require repair, replacement parts or manufacturer support before they can be adjusted. We will explain the available options and any likely costs before proceeding with additional work.
Contact Better Hearing Co. to find out whether we can review your current hearing aids and arrange a hearing aid fine-tuning appointment.
