Common Questions
Hearing Aid Fitting: Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a hearing aid fitting?
At a fitting, we check that your hearing aids sit comfortably in or on your ear, program them using your hearing test results and listening needs, and make comfort adjustments. We also show you how to put them in and take them out, change the batteries or charge them, clean them and use the controls. We then arrange follow-up visits so the settings can be fine-tuned.
How long does it take to get used to new hearing aids?
Most people need a few weeks to adjust, and some take longer. Your brain has to get used to hearing sounds it may not have heard clearly in a while, such as footsteps, running water or background noise. Wearing your hearing aids regularly helps, and follow-up visits let us fine-tune the settings as you go.
Why do my new hearing aids sound strange or feel uncomfortable?
It's common for voices to sound different at first, for everyday sounds to seem louder or sharper, and for the hearing aids to feel unfamiliar in or behind the ear. These things often ease with regular use, but they can also be a sign that an adjustment would help. If your hearing aids are uncomfortable, whistle or don't sound right, contact us rather than putting up with it.
Do I need follow-up appointments after my hearing aid fitting?
Follow-up visits are an important part of the process. They let you tell us how your hearing aids feel and sound in real life, so we can adjust the programming, check the fit and answer your questions. Regular check-ups also help keep your hearing aids clean and working well. If something stops working, see our hearing aid repair in Sherwood Park.
What should I bring to my hearing aid fitting?
Bring your hearing test results if your test was done elsewhere, and a list of the situations where you most want to hear better, such as family meals, restaurants or the television. If you'd like help connecting a phone to your hearing aids, bring your phone. Bringing a family member or friend can also be helpful.
