A hearing aid fitting is where your hearing aids are set up for you. Dr. Maria Wynens has served Atlanta-area patients since 1988, and every fitting is personal: shaped around your hearing, your comfort and the places you want to hear better.
What Happens During Your Hearing Aid Fitting
During a fitting, your hearing aids are programmed to your hearing test results, checked for comfort and fit, and set up for the places where you most want to hear better. Your fitting is guided by an audiologist from start to finish. Depending on where you are in your hearing care, these steps may take place over more than one visit.
Reviewing your hearing test results and listening needs
Dr. Wynens starts with your hearing test results and a conversation about where hearing is hardest for you.
Discussing hearing aid options
She explains the options that suit your hearing, lifestyle and budget, so you can choose with confidence. Learn more about hearing aids.
Programming your hearing aids to your hearing profile
Your selected hearing aids are programmed to match your hearing test results. Programming sets how much each type of sound is made louder, so the sounds you have trouble hearing become easier to hear.
Checking physical comfort and fit
Dr. Wynens checks that your hearing aids sit securely and feel comfortable to wear.
Fitted Around the Places That Matter to You
Home, work, restaurants and family conversations each sound different. During your fitting, Dr. Wynens considers the listening environments that matter most in your daily life, so your hearing aids are set up for the way you actually live.
Follow-Up Visits and Fine-Tuning
Getting used to hearing aids takes time. Follow-up visits give you the chance to share how your hearing aids are working in everyday life, and Dr. Wynens can fine-tune them based on your experience. If your hearing aids stop working properly, our hearing aid repair service can help.
Fitting or Repair: Which Do You Need?
A fitting sets up hearing aids for your hearing. A repair visit is for hearing aids you already wear that have stopped working properly.
- Hearing aid fitting: for new hearing aids. Dr. Wynens programs them to your hearing test results, checks comfort and fit, and fine-tunes them at follow-up visits as you get used to them.
- Follow-up adjustments: for hearing aids that work but could sound better in the places that matter to you. Settings can be fine-tuned based on your experience.
- Hearing aid repair: for hearing aids that whistle, have no sound, sound distorted, or have controls or programs that no longer respond. Learn more about hearing aid repair.
