Hearing Aid Fitting And Repair
Hearing aids are designed for long-term performance but hearing aids require some upkeep from time to time.
Once you have had a hearing aid evaluation where we choose the hearing aids that are right for you, you will be seen for a hearing aid fitting. This is where the audiologist will program them to your specific prescription which is devised from your hearing test. There will be a custom fitting for your unique ear as well.
Also, the audiologist will give you information on:
- How to insert and remove the hearing aids
- How to clean and care for them
- How to change the batteries
You will have a follow up appointment in one to two weeks after your initial fitting. During this time, patients generally have a list of question. It is a good idea to bring a close friend or family member to help remember all of the information you will be given at this appointment.
It may take time to adjust to the new hearing environment, but what you are hearing should eventually be clear, comfortable, and pleasant. If it is not so, some minor changes may be made. To help with this process, there may be a short survey or list of questions to answer to better understand your hearing experience.

Hearing Aid Fitting and Programming
During a hearing aid fitting and programming appointment, the team at Premium Hearing Care will calibrate your devices to meet your specific needs. The type of hearing loss, extent of hearing loss as well as your lifestyle will determine exactly how your devices are adjusted. We rely on your feedback to let us know how your hearing aids are working for you.
We’ll be sure to give you all of the information and tools needed to excel with your devices from day one, including tips on:

Remember, it can take some time to get used to the way the world sounds with your hearing aids, so it’s best to take a slow and steady approach. Many of our patients wear their hearing aids for longer periods of time each day until they’ve fully adjusted while others are so excited that they use their devices full-time from the start. At Premium Hearing Care we recommend that you do whatever feels most comfortable for you but remember that our staff is always here to answer any questions and offer support along the way.
