Are you satisfied with the performance of your hearing aids? Do you feel the quality meets your expectations? Unless your audiologist relied on real ear verification during the fitting process, your hearing device may not be living up to its full potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing Aid Fitting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When fitting patients for hearing aids, real-ear measurements provide a level of accuracy unavailable with software programs. Real-ear verification takes into account an individual\u2019s unique anatomy, such as ear canal volume, providing a true measurement of a hearing aid\u2019s effectiveness for that patient\u2019s specific hearing loss. Without an accurate assessment of a hearing aid\u2019s amplification levels, a patient can walk away with hearing aids that deliver substandard performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yet, studies performed by the American Academy of Audiology\nshow that only approximately 40 percent of audiologists use real-ear\nverification technology. Why the reluctance to embrace a system that has been\nproven to provide the most accurate measurements available? For many\naudiologists, the answer amounts to time and money. The process can be\ntime-consuming, especially for audiologists unfamiliar with the equipment,\nwhich can be expensive. Some audiologists believe the fitting algorithms included\nwith the programming software are accurate enough, but these do not allow for\nreal-ear target matching to measure the correct amount of hearing aid gain and\noutput required, based on the patient\u2019s level of hearing loss as well as their\nnatural ear anatomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitting Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process is actually fairly straightforward and, once\nmastered, should take fewer than five minutes per ear. A probe microphone is\ninserted into the ear, and hearing aid output is measured on a chart, where\ndifferent test results (directional, noise reduction, feedback suppression, and\nfrequency lowering) can be compared. This objective process utilizes scientific\ndata rather than guesswork to provide true data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
