Real Ear Measurement

Real Ear Measurement

Studies show that most people don't get the optimal hearing aid fit from their hearing professional. As a result, they are missing out on the full benefits of their hearing aids—and that's a problem.

Hearing aids are designed to fit into the ear canal, which is tricky to get right. The ear canal is made of bone and skin that can vary in size from person to person. It's easy to see why the optimal fit is difficult to achieve.

That's why, when fitting hearing aids, experts say that using Real Ear Measurement (REM) is best.

How Real Ear Measurements work

Instead of using a one-size-fits-all measurement system, using Real Ear Measurements, audiologists measure the actual shape of your ear with an instrument called a probe microphone. Then they take that information and use it to design a custom-fit hearing aid that will give you the best sound quality possible.

Why you should consider Real Ear Measurements at your next hearing aid fitting

No two ears are the same, so how can one-size-fits-all hearing aids be expected to fit perfectly? If you're not getting the hearing aid benefits you should, it could be due to a bad fit. Bad fit leads to bad hearing.

Real Ear Measurements are a much more accurate way of measuring your hearing loss than any other method available today. Even though it sounds kind of weird and invasive, don't worry! You'll barely feel anything. Once the probes are in place, we will measure how loud a range of frequencies sounds to your ears. This allows us to choose the hearing prescription that best fits your needs.

Come and see us today for the best hearing aid fit.

When it comes to hearing aid measurement, industry insiders consider REMs to be the gold standard. However, according to a study published in the Hearing Review, only about one-third of hearing professionals regularly fit patients with REM equipment.

We believe in the importance of Real Ear Measurement when fitting hearing aids. This ensures that you get the best hearing aid experience possible, no matter which model you choose.
