Hearing Aid Procedures and
Policy

 
  • Hearing Aid Selection and The Assessment of Communication Needs:  During this session we will decide on the appropriate technology and style of hearing instruments that are most suitable for your hearing loss and life style.  Impressions of your ears may be obtained if necessary.  The hearing aids and anything else needed for the fitting will be ordered.  This is usually a 60 minute appointment.
  • Hearing Aid Fit and Train:  At this appointment, the hearing aids will be physically fit to your ears and adjusted to match your hearing loss.  You will be instructed on the use and care of the hearing aids.  This is usually a 90 minute appointment.
  • Hearing Aid Follow-up:  Follow-up appointments are scheduled after the Hearing Aid Fit and Train to assess hearing aid benefit, perform fine-tuning and for continued hearing aid orientation and rehabilitation.  Thses are usually 45 minute appointments.
