Quick Read
Hearing needs change over time and regular checkups will ensure your heading aids are optimized for your needs. Also, hearing aids require regular maintenance to continue to function at their peak performance.
Getting hearing aids can be a life-changing experience, but the benefits can slowly diminish over time without regular maintenance. You may think your hearing has changed and/or your hearing aids need to be turned up, but most of the time they just need a tune-up to get your hearing back on track. Most people who haven’t had their hearing aids serviced in the last six to nine months find that having them serviced significantly improves their listening experience. Even hearing aids you think are broken can often be serviced and repaired right in our office (and yes, we can absolutely work on hearing aids you purchased elsewhere).
Depending on how long it’s been since you visited an audiologist, we usually recommend starting with a fresh hearing test, and then a full cleaning and reprogramming of your hearing aids, including speechmapping or real-ear measures which verify that the hearing aid is delivering the sound you need. Not all clinics include this step routinely with hearing aid fittings, but it is an essential step in order to ensure that you are getting the maximum benefit from your hearing aids.
We offer fitting packages that cover all of the above plus ongoing checkups and maintenance to ensure that your hearing aids continue to function at their optimum level, as well as basic as-needed services for simple repairs.
