Hearing loss impacts every individual differently, which is why finding a tailored solution for your unique needs is vital. The audiologists at Trinity Hearing Care will help you find the right hearing aid to match your lifestyle, aesthetic and budget preferences. We carry products from the top manufacturers in the hearing industry, ensuring the technology you select will be compatible with your day-to-day life. With all of this information, an important decision needs to be made after the first evaluation.
After Testing
The results of your hearing test will guide the information you go over during your hearing aid evaluation. There are a number of things you’ll want to consider when selecting the right technology for your wants. Take a look at the current electronic setup in your home. This includes your home phone, smartphone, television, computer and any other modern device that has a speaker. If these items have Bluetooth connectivity you will be able to integrate your hearing aid use in with this technology, giving you a much more personal and stream-lined experience.
Evaluation for Hearing Aids
Finding the perfect hearing aid is an elaborate process. Your audiologist will narrow down the choices based on the results of your hearing test. Some recommendations are made, but the final decision will always be yours. The audiologist will go over styles, features and the many benefits of wearing a hearing aid. Before the official fitting appointment is scheduled, make sure that you’re comfortable with the information provided. Trial options are available for certain brands, but if you’re ready to move forward, a custom earmold will be made for the final fitting.
Appointment for Fitting
The easiest way to guarantee a successful fitting is by asking questions. At the fitting, you will receive your new, fully programmed hearing aids. The audiologist will make a few adjustments to optimize them for first time use. This process is known as real ear measurement, and will be the priority of the fitting. This evaluation accounts for how you experience sounds with your device and may require additional adjustments to get the perfect fit.
After the hearing aids are programmed, your audiologist will have an open discussion with you about the experience. This conversation will include questions about how you hear sound, the comfort level of each ear and general tips about usage. Be open and honest with your answers so that the audiologist knows how to proceed. When everything is finished, you should have full confidence in your ability to hear the world around you again!
