According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, fewer than one in three adults age 70 and older who could benefit from hearing aids have ever used them. Among people who do try hearing aids, poor fit and sound quality are common reasons they stop wearing them.
The fitting is where that changes. Programming to your prescriptive targets, verifying the result in your ear and fine-tuning over the first few weeks all make a measurable difference in how your hearing aids perform.
Your fitting isn’t a one-time appointment. Every hearing aid includes ongoing professional care, including cleanings, programming, adjustments and support. You’re welcome to come back anytime something doesn’t sound right.
