Hearing Aid Evaluation/Prescription/Fitting
Patients are evaluated for hearing aid amplification based upon audiologic findings. Recommendations are given for the most appropriate model and circuitry. Patients are presented with choices and options depending upon their individual needs. Hearing aid check-ups are routine for adults. For our pediatric populations, ongoing evaluations are performed to obtain additional information for adjustments and transitions from one academic or physical setting to another. Hearing aids are functionally evaluated (tested in the sound booth) to determine benefits. On older children and adults, a real ear electroacoustic analysis is also performed.
