Hearing Aid Fittings
Roberts Hearing Solutions provides expert hearing aid fittings in Alexandria, LA
A hearing aid fitting is when a hearing care professional adjusts your hearing aids to meet your unique hearing needs. The goal is to help you hear clearly and comfortably-not just make things louder. Your hearing aids need to be fine-tuned to match your specific type of hearing loss for the best experience.
Why Is a Professional Hearing Aid Fitting Important?
A proper fitting ensures your hearing aids work their best. Our team is trained to adjust your devices so speech sounds crisp and background noise doesn’t overwhelm you. With a good fit, everyday sounds feel more natural and comfortable.​
Step-by-Step Process:
​
-
Reviewing Your Hearing Test – The audiologist explains your hearing loss and how hearing aids can help.
-
Selecting the Right Hearing Aids – Your audiologist helps you choose the best style and features for your lifestyle.
-
Programming the Hearing Aids – Special software is used to adjust your hearing aids based on your hearing test results.
-
Real Ear Measurement (REM) – A small microphone is placed in your ear to make sure the hearing aids are amplifying sound correctly.
-
Instruction and Care – You’ll learn how to insert, remove, and care for your hearing aids.
-
Scheduling Follow-Up Visits – Your audiologist will schedule follow-up appointments to fine-tune your hearing aids for maximum comfort and performance.
What Happens During a Hearing Aid Fitting?
What to Expect at Your First Fitting
Your first hearing aid fitting is an exciting step toward better hearing. You may notice new sounds right away-some may seem loud at first, but your brain will adapt. Your provider will answer your questions and make sure your devices fit comfortably.
Real Ear Measurement is a special test that ensures your hearing aids are set correctly for your ears. A small microphone goes into your ear to measure how sound is being delivered.
Everyone’s ears are shaped differently. REM helps your audiologist adjust your hearing aids so they give you the best sound possible. Without it, the hearing aids might not perform as well as they should.
At first, you may hear things you haven’t heard in a while-like clocks ticking or footsteps. That’s normal! Your brain is relearning how to hear those sounds.
-
Start wearing your hearing aids a few hours at a time.
-
Gradually increase wear time each day.
-
Practice listening in quiet settings before going into noisy environments.
-
Be patient-it may take a few weeks to fully adjust.
Follow-up visits are key to success. If your hearing aids feel uncomfortable or don’t sound quite right, your audiologist can make changes. These adjustments help you get the most out of your devices.
Adjusting to Your Hearing Aids
Coverage varies by insurance provider. Medicare usually doesn’t cover hearing aids, but some private plans or VA benefits may help. Check with your provider to find out what’s included.
If your hearing aid feels uncomfortable, your audiologist can make adjustments. Different ear tips or custom earmolds can improve the fit. Never try to force it in-it could cause discomfort or affect sound quality.
The first fitting usually takes about an hour. However, it often takes a few follow-up visits to fine-tune the fit and sound settings for the best results.
