How it Works
Hearing care is like any other rehabilitative journey. Based on your individual needs, the audiologist will set the hearing aids to a comfortable level for you to acclimatize to your new sound output. This is usually below your prescription and that is okay. The brain needs time to adjust to the new sound and we want to respect that process.

During your 30-day risk-free trial period, you will see the audiologist 2-3 times. During these visits, adjustments will be made to suit your needs and get you to your prescription targets.
Once you have reached your prescription targets, Real-Ear Measurements (REM) will be performed. This testing is an important component of the hearing aid fitting process and can provide crucial information for optimizing hearing aid performance and individualizing the fitting to your specific needs.
REM allows for objective measurement and verification of the actual sound output produced by the hearing aids in your ear canal. It ensures that the hearing aids are delivering the appropriate amplification levels based on your specific hearing loss and prescription.
Properly fitted hearing aids through REM testing can improve speech understanding, sound quality, and overall satisfaction with the hearing aid performance. It enhances your ability to hear and communicate effectively in various listening environments.
At Golden Ears Audiology Lakeway, we guarantee that your hearing aids are optimized for your listening needs and hearing loss, as directed by the hearing aid manufacturer and evidence-based national standards.
Should you not be happy with your hearing aids towards the end of your trial period, speak to your audiologist regarding options to get you in the right hearing aids. The worst thing you can do is put the hearing aids in a drawer and forget about them. There is a solution for everyone, but it is up to you to advocate for yourself and your hearing needs.
