Several times this week my patients have been impressed with the high tech aspect of hearing aid fittings from the programming ability of the manufacturer\u2019s software to the real ear testing we do during fittings. \u00a0 It is very exciting what technology allows us to do in fitting hearing aids but more than ever I want to emphasize the personal aspect of what truly makes for a successful hearing aid fitting. \u00a0We start with a willing patient who has an open mind and a touch of patience. \u00a0Hearing aid fitting is a process and patients who are patient (no pun intended) and who come in motivated to learn and adapt will be more successful. \u00a0Next we rely on our audiologists to understand the needs of each patient and appropriate fit and adjust the hearing aids to allow the patient to do the best they possibly can. \u00a0Finally, we have the relationship of the audiologist and the patient who will work together to fine tune the hearing aids and talk through how to optimize the patient\u2019s communication ability. \u00a0It is the long term relationship that we are dedicated to at Valley Audiology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
