Episode Synopsis

In this episode Christopher Medina goes through the steps on what the process is in terms of getting your hearing aid fitted once you come into a hearing aid dispenser such as Virtue Hearing.    What will you expect when you get your hearing aids fitted? Christopher will walk you through the fitting by fitting himself with a receiver in the ear canal using the Widex Evoke hearing aid device.   Step 1: Conduct a hearing test. Step 2: Those results will go into our software and into the hearing aid to adjust those levels into your custom hearing aid. Step 3: We add the hearing aid onto the patient. Step 4: We connect the hearing aid to the computer and adjust the settings based on the patients hearing levels and comfortability. This is called a "First Fit". The software will then ask a series of questions based on your lifestyle and experience with hearing aids. Step 5: Run the feedback manager. This is meant to reduce any feedback you are experiencing. Step 6: We keep adjusting until the patient lets us know it is now comfortable for them. Step 7: We schedule a follow up appointment to double check all is going well with your hearing aid.   If you are interested in doing a fitting and trying a new hearing aid for 14 days reach out to our office:  (323) 530-0223 [email protected] https://virtuehearing.com/
