Hearing Aids and Fittings
If a hearing aid is prescribed, a patient may come to one of our regional centers (Kenmore (Boston), Dedham, Quincy - Hancock Street, and Wellesley) and meet with an audiologist who has specialized expertise in the area of dispensing hearing aids. The audiologist will review the type of hearing loss as well as how it is affecting a patient’s life and recommend from a variety of hearing aid models the “best fit” with the patient’s medical condition, lifestyle, and budget.When the hearing aid arrives, a patient will return to work with the audiologist to fine tune the incoming sounds using a special computer program.
Significant technological advances have been made to improve digital amplification. Many of the new digital aids can be easily adjusted for background and environmental noises, improving patient satisfaction.
