Every hearing aid we fit is measured inside your ear.
Roughly two out of three providers program hearing aids to the manufacturer's first fit estimate and never verify it.* We measure every fitting with Real Ear Measurement, adjust to target, and show you the proof before you leave.
★★★★★4.9 on Google, 83 reviews*Surveys of hearing care providers put routine Real Ear Measurement use between about 20% and 50%, with most estimates near one third. Mueller & Picou, The Hearing Journal (2010); Hearing Review (2016).
We schedule real time so nothing gets rushed or quietly skipped.
Probe microphone measurement, test box analysis, and speech in noise testing.
For the life of your hearing aids, at no additional charge.

If it isn't measured, it's a guess.
Real Ear Measurement (REM) places a very thin probe microphone in your ear canal, beside the eardrum, while the hearing aid is running. We see the actual sound arriving at your eardrum at every pitch, compare it to the prescriptive target for your hearing loss, and adjust until the two match.
Industry surveys put the share of providers who routinely perform REM at roughly a third. Which means most people wearing hearing aids have never had theirs verified.
