Hearing Aid Fitting in Enid, OK
What Happens at a Hearing Aid Fitting?
Before a hearing aid fitting is scheduled, we will do a thorough hearing test to determine whether hearing aids would help you. Based on the results, your hearing instrument specialist at Evans Hearing Aid Center in Enid, OK, will be able to determine how loudly sounds need to be amplified so they are audible to you, as well as how to compress loud noises so they aren’t painful to your ears.

Before Your Hearing Aid Fitting
You will meet with our hearing instrument specialist before your fitting appointment to choose and place your order for the best-fitting hearing aids. To guarantee an excellent fit, customized mold imprints of your ears will probably be taken if you decide on an in-the-ear device. When the hearing aids do arrive our hearing instrument specialist will use software to configure your hearing aids based on your hearing loss when they arrive.
During The Hearing Aid Fitting
The hearing aid fitting process usually only lasts around one hour. One of the main reasons for this fitting appointment is to see how your ears respond to both loud and gentle noises. Our hearing instrument specialist will first perform a sound test. For this sound test they will insert a tiny tube close to your eardrum. They will then evaluate and adjust the amplification for the best possible sound clarity after the hearing aid is placed. Our hearing instrument specialist will also make sure the hearing aids are comfortable to wear and that they fit correctly. The hearing aids should not hurt, but it’s typical for them to feel a little strange at first until you get used to them.
