Hearing Aid Fitting in North Richland Hills
Getting the right fit for your hearing aids is just as important as selecting the right device. At North Hills ENT in North Richland Hills, our audiologists provide expert hearing aid fittings using real-ear measurement technology to ensure your devices are programmed precisely for your unique hearing loss.
What Is a Hearing Aid Fitting?
A hearing aid fitting is the process by which your audiologist programs and adjusts your new hearing aids to match the prescription targets for your specific audiogram. It also involves ensuring the devices fit comfortably in or around your ears and that you understand how to use, clean, and maintain them.
The Fitting Process at North Hills ENT
- Review of your audiogram and hearing needs
- Physical fitting and comfort assessment
- Real-ear measurement (REM) to verify programming accuracy
- Adjustments to volume, frequency shaping, and noise reduction features
- Hands-on training: insertion, removal, cleaning, battery changes
- Guidance on adaptation and realistic expectations
Real-Ear Measurement
Real-ear measurement (REM) is the gold standard for verifying hearing aid performance. A tiny probe microphone is placed in your ear canal to measure the actual sound level delivered by your hearing aid. This ensures your prescription is being met and that soft, medium, and loud sounds are all amplified appropriately. North Hills ENT uses REM as a standard part of every fitting.
Follow-Up Appointments
Adjustment is a normal part of the fitting process. Most patients benefit from one or more follow-up visits within the first 30–60 days to fine-tune the programming as your brain adapts to hearing new sounds. We want you to be completely satisfied with your hearing aids.
