What Happens During a Hearing Aid Fitting (And Why Proper Fitting Matters)

Hearing Aids are not “one-size-fits-all” devices. The success of hearing aids depends just as much on how they are fitted as on the technology itself.

A hearing aid fitting is a process, not a single appointment

A proper fitting involves:

  • Programming the devices specifically for your hearing loss
  • Verifying how sounds is delivered to your ears
  • Ensuring comfort and clarity
  • Making adjustments over time as you adapt

This is why professional care matters.

Why proper fitting is so important

Without accurate fitting:

  • Speech may not sound clear
  • Background noise may feel overwhelming
  • Sound may feel unnatural or uncomfortable

With proper fitting:

  • Speech becomes more distinct
  • Sound balance improves
  • Listening feels easier and less tiring

What we focus on during fittings

At Abide Audiology, we take time to:

  • Understand your listening challenges
  • Adjust settings gradually
  • Fine-tune based on real-world feedback
  • Provide education on what to expect

We also use objective verification methods when appropriate to ensure sound is being delivered accurately.

Follow-up is part of success

Hearing aid fittings don’t end the day that the devices are dispensed. Follow-up visits are included in the initial investment, so you don’t have to pay for follow-up visits or annual hearing evaluations. Follow-up visits are important. They allow us to:

  • Refine sound quality
  • Address concerns early
  • Support brain adaption
  • Improves long-term outcomes

Patients who attend follow-ups consistently tend to do far better with hearing aids.

Our goal

Our goal is not simply to dispense hearing aids. Our goal is to help you hear comfortable, confidently, and successfully in your everyday life.
