Hearing Aid Delivery & Fitting
Receiving your new hearing aids!
Once you’ve chosen your hearing aids, your hearing care professional will program them to match your specific hearing needs. The hearing aids will be programmed to your specific hearing loss. During this fitting appointment, you’ll learn how to insert and remove the devices, change or charge the batteries, and clean and care for them properly.
This visit typically takes about an hour, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead. Bringing a family member or friend can be helpful for extra support and to assist with remembering the information covered. You’ll also receive printed instructions to take home as a handy reference.
Understanding Your Hearing Aids
When you start wearing your hearing aids, you might hear sounds that seem new or different. This can feel a bit strange at first, but it’s completely normal. The aim is for everyday sounds to be clear, comfortable, and easy to enjoy. If needed, small adjustments can be made during your initial fitting. Your hearing care provider may also run some additional tests to make sure you're picking up the sounds that matter most to you. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or speak up about any concerns you have along the way.
Connecting to your phone
Most hearing aids come automatically with Bluetooth and with impressive apps for you to use with your phone. These apps are optional, but almost everyone finds them to be extremely useful and more intuitive than they expected. Try to download the manufacurer's app you may want to use ahead of time so we will be able to help you connect on your first visit. We will be able to help teach you how to use the app to make important changes to your hearing aids. We can also show you how to be able to hear your phone calls through your hearing aids as well. And in most cases, you can even set up remote/virtual adjustments so you can have additional support from us from almost anywhere.
Adjusting to Hearing Aids
Having a positive mindset can make a big difference when adjusting to hearing aids. Studies show that people who stay open and optimistic—especially with encouragement from loved ones—often adapt faster and experience better outcomes. Keep in mind that it may take time to get used to sounds you haven’t heard in a while. With patience and ongoing support from your hearing care provider, you’ll be well on your way to getting the most out of your new hearing aids.
