Hearing Aid Devices in Cupertino, CA

Real-Ear Fitting Technique Offers a More Personalized Experience

Our specialists want your hearing aid experience to be refined for your best hearing clarity, physical comfort, and cognitive function.

The Importance of a Customized Hearing Aid

The settings recommended by the manufacturer for hearing aids are issued with the average hearing aid user – and average ear acoustics – in mind. This means that an average degree of hearing loss is addressed in the hearing aid software settings when they leave the factory. While these standard settings may satisfy the needs of many hearing aid users, often, they also miss the mark because they don’t consider a patient’s personal hearing situation and individual ear acoustics.

Here, at Los Gatos Audiology, we offer custom-fit hearing aid services for our patients. When you visit our office, we carefully evaluate your hearing needs and perform a hearing aid fitting to fit your unique needs. We also perform a systematic program of probe-microphone testing and verification, where your individualized optimum settings can be established with our Verifit2 technology by Audioscan.

Why Our Prescriptive Method Is Different

When hearing devices are shipped from a manufacturer, the software settings are established with no specific users involved, i.e., the software settings are designed to be most advantageous for the proprietary construction of the hearing device.

When audiologists fit hearing aids to patients, the factory setting is changed, but usually to a setting at the doctor’s discretion, or at a setting typical for new hearing-loss patients. What this means is that no real-ear testing or verification takes place in either of these supposedly prescriptive methods. However, at Los Gatos Audiology we do it differently and go one step further than most.

Get Real-Ear Measurements for Your Hearing Aid Fitting in Cupertino, CA

Real-ear probe-microphone verification can play a huge role in establishing accurate settings that are most beneficial to the specific wearer of a hearing device. The incredible advantage of real-ear measurements is that it allows our specialist to evaluate your hearing while you are actually wearing the device.

The first step in the real-ear method is to actually measure the size and shape of your ear canal so that we know the acoustic parameters we are working with. Next, using a small microphone inserted in the ear canal, our specialist introduces a sound which is detected by the microphone, and that sound detection is compared to what the microphone senses without the hearing aid in place. From this comparison, through repetition and trial and error, the most useful software setting can be selected to fit your specific degree of hearing loss.
