Because of the advertising and messaging around hearing aids and hearing care in general, many people tend to think of hearing aids like a commodity; in which regardless of where or how you get one, which one you get, the outcome is much the same. “One size fits all”, right? Actually, that’s NOT right. When it comes to treating your hearing loss, it is not that simple.

Last month we covered how important getting the “right” hearing aid is to your success. This month we are going to talk about how important it is to make sure that your audiologist has the training and expertise to ACCURATELY fit your hearing aids. Specifically, making sure your audiologist is fitting your hearing aid to your prescription, and that he/she is using the proper equipment to VERIFY that the settings in the hearing aids match your prescription.
