Best Practices

You have many choices for where to purchase your hearing aids. However, it is estimated that only about 20% of hearing care providers in the U.S. use best practices, and we are one of them!
Best practices include how and why we select your devices, offering multiple brands to choose from, providing regular maintenance and prescription updates, and most importantly, performing Real Ear Measures (see below for more info).

Real Ear Measures (REM)

Real Ear Measures have to be done in person and with your hearing aids in your ears. This is the only way to ensure that your prescription is 100% accurate for your hearing loss. It involves inserting a tiny microphone into your ear canal along with your hearing aid. Then, measurements are repeatedly taken by the audiologist while adjustments are made to the programming to meet your prescriptive targets. This testing should be repeated any time you change the earpiece on your devices, if you are having trouble with a device, and annually as your hearing changes.

Wear Your Hearing Aids Daily

Consistent use helps your brain adjust to new sounds and improves how you process speech. Even on quiet days, daily wear strengthens your long-term hearing and ensures you're ready for more challenging listening environments.
