Hearing Aid Fitting in Christchurch
Hearing Aid Fitting in Christchurch
A successful hearing aid fitting involves much more than placing hearing aids in your ears. The devices need to be selected, programmed and adjusted for your individual hearing loss, listening needs and personal preferences.
At Better Hearing Co., hearing aid recommendations are based on the results of your hearing assessment, the environments in which you need help and the features that are genuinely useful to you. As an independent audiology practice, we can consider the latest hearing aids from a range of leading manufacturers rather than being restricted to one brand or style of hearing aid.
Your hearing aid fitting in Christchurch will include:
- Programming the hearing aids for your hearing levels
- Checking the physical fit and comfort
- Verifying the sound using professional ‘Real Ear’ Measurement equipment
- Explaining how to manage the hearing aids eg insert, remove, charge and care for the devices
- Connecting compatible hearing aids to your mobile phone
- Practising everyday controls and features
- Scheduling follow-up support and hearing aid fine tuning
It can take time for the brain to adjust to hearing sounds that may not have been heard clearly for many years. Follow-up appointments are therefore an important part of the fitting process. We can gradually adjust the hearing aids as you become accustomed to them and as we learn more about your real-world listening experiences.
Our goal is to provide hearing solutions that are comfortable, practical and appropriate for your daily life. You will receive clear information about your options and ongoing support as you adapt to your new hearing aids.
