One of the biggest benefits of starting your hearing loss treatment journey with an audiology clinic such as SH Audiology is access to professional hearing aid fittings and fine-tuning. You are an individual, and your hearing loss is unique; you need personalized solutions to get you the hearing you deserve.

Before we even order your hearing aids, we are tailoring our treatment to your hearing. We perform a comprehensive hearing test to determine the severity and type of your hearing loss. We look for:

• What pitches you struggle to hear
• What pitches you don’t struggle with
• Listening comprehension
• Whether your hearing loss is sensorineural, conductive or mixed

We look at all these factors and more to determine which devices best suit your needs.

Fun fact: your ears are just as unique as your fingerprint! To ensure your hearing aids fit your ears, we take an impression of your ear canal and customize the devices to that mold. The way a hearing aid fits is critical to how well it functions; you need it to fit snugly and effectively seal off the ear canal so no extra sound waves bounce in or out. A poorly fitting hearing aid or one that isn’t custom-made for your ears can cause annoying issues such as feedback, echoey sound quality or the hearing aids falling out.

Once your hearing aids have arrived at the clinic, we’ll take the time to program them specifically to your hearing needs, as determined during your hearing test. We’ll also create custom listening programs according to your lifestyle, work, hobbies and other specialty hearing needs. This ensures that your hearing aids are consistently delivering the exact kind of hearing assistance you need in that moment.

We can’t stress it enough: There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to hearing aids. We work with you to make sure that you get the clear hearing you deserve from your devices and the professional support you need from us.
