How a Hearing Aid is selected ?

Every hearing aid should be electronically tailored to suit the person’s particular hearing loss. Recent improvements in hearing aid technology allow a very wide range of hearing losses to be successfully fitted. Hearing aids should only be provided after a careful selection process which must include a full hearing test, and an assessment of the person’s ability to discriminate speech. The audiologist prescribes the hearing aid to ensure that it provides the wearer with an even balance of all the sounds of everyday life. A properly fitted hearing aid will be evaluated and adjusted over a period of time to meet the individual’s needs.
