Hearing Aid Recommendations

The results of your hearing test provide your hearing care professional with a clear understanding of which sounds you may not be hearing fully or are perceiving differently. This information allows the audiologist to recommend the best treatment options for your specific needs, which may include hearing aids.

Hearing Aid Recommendation

If your hearing test indicates a permanent hearing loss, your hearing care professional may recommend hearing aids. During this visit, they’ll explain which sounds you’re having trouble hearing and how hearing aids can improve your listening experience. You’ll typically have the chance to see and handle different hearing aid styles, and in some cases, even try out how they sound.
 
Your audiologist will help you choose the style, features, and technology level that best match your hearing needs, daily activities, and budget. Certain hobbies or work environments may benefit from specific options, so you may be asked to complete a short questionnaire to guide the selection process. While the decision is ultimately yours, your hearing professional will provide recommendations tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.
 
If you decide on custom or behind-the-ear hearing aids that require earmolds, impressions of your ears will be taken to ensure a precise fit. The devices are then ordered and programmed according to your individual hearing profile. It’s normal to go through an adjustment period, and your provider will fine-tune the settings to give you the best possible sound quality and comfort.
