They will then be programmed and\nadjusted based on your hearing loss and lifestyle needs. The hearing aids will\nbe placed in your ears and turned on, allowing your audiologist to measure the\nvolume levels to ensure that you are hearing the full range of sounds properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your audiologist will then discuss care and maintenance of\nyour hearing aids. You will learn how to use them correctly and make\nadjustments for different hearing environments, insert and remove them, change\nthe batteries and clean, and care for them properly. You will also learn tips\nand strategies for better communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Kind of Follow-Up Care Can I Expect?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A follow-up visit will be scheduled a few weeks after your\ninitial fitting. During this appointment, your audiologist will fine-tune and\nadjust your hearing aids as needed and answer any questions you may have. It\nmay take a while to adjust your hearing aids to their maximum effectiveness, so\nadditional fitting appointments may be needed.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">Hearing Focused<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+12626798888\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(262) 679-8888<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When your audiologist recommends hearing aids, selection is only the beginning of the process.
