Your hearing aids are verified by one of our Hearing Aid Specialists, Jaysee or Toni. A probe microphone measures the sound your hearing aids deliver in your ear canal, so we can program them to your prescriptive targets rather than a software estimate.
Grace or Francesca will greet you at the front desk and get you settled. Bring your hearing aids, and your visit then moves through four parts.
We examine your ear canals and eardrums with an otoscope. Earwax can block the probe tube or change how sound travels in the ear canal, so any buildup is removed before we measure.
We calibrate a thin, soft silicone probe tube, about one millimeter wide, and place it in your ear canal a few millimeters from the eardrum, alongside your hearing aid.
We play a calibrated speech signal at soft, average and loud levels and record your hearing aid’s output near the eardrum. Each result is compared with your prescriptive targets, calculated from your hearing test using a validated fitting formula.
Where the output falls above or below target, we adjust your hearing aid’s programming and measure again. We also confirm that loud sounds stay within a safe, comfortable maximum. You’ll see the before and after results on screen.
Real Ear Measurement shows how much sound your hearing aids actually deliver at each pitch once they’re in your ear. The length, volume and shape of your ear canal, along with the fit of your dome or earmold, all change that amount.
That’s why two people with the same hearing test results, wearing the same hearing aid at the same settings, can receive noticeably different levels of sound. Fitting software uses average ear canal values. REM measures yours.
When hearing aids are programmed, the manufacturer’s software creates a “first fit,” an estimate based on your hearing test and an average ear. Published studies have found that first-fit settings often fall short of prescriptive targets, most often in the higher pitches that carry speech clarity.
Real Ear Measurement replaces that estimate with a measurement. Jaysee is a HearingUp Certified Provider, and verifying every fitting with REM is part of the HearingUp best-practice standard. If your hearing aids are already on target, we’ll tell you, and nothing will be changed.
Both are Florida-licensed Hearing Aid Specialists who follow the same thorough, best-practice approach to every fitting and verification.

Toni was born with hearing loss and has worn hearing aids since childhood, and her mother and brother wear them too. She knows what the first weeks with a new hearing aid feel like. Ask her about getting used to them.

No. The probe tube is soft silicone and rests in the ear canal without touching the eardrum. It takes a moment to place, and most people stop noticing it right away.
Bring your hearing aids, your charger or spare batteries, and your most recent hearing test if you have one. If your hearing test is out of date, we may recommend a new one first, since your prescriptive targets are based on it.
Yes, it’s one of the things we do most. We can reprogram most major brands. Some hearing aids are locked by the original seller, so call us with the brand and model if you’re unsure.
The software predicts what an average ear canal should receive based on your hearing test. Real Ear Measurement records what your ear canal actually receives, and we program to that result.
Then we’ll tell you. You’ll see the measurement for yourself, and you’ll leave with nothing changed.
When your hearing aids are new, when your hearing changes, when your domes or earmolds are replaced, or when something doesn’t sound right. Otherwise, there’s no need.
