Sep 24, 2025
Welcome to this episode of The Flex Audiology Show, where we’ll be talking about what happens when patients who already have hearing aids come to us for assistance. Spoiler alert: We can do a lot more for your existing devices than just clean them for you!
When you rely on hearing aids, ensuring they function at their full potential is crucial to your lifestyle and well-being. You deserve peace of mind about your devices, and the verification appointment is here to provide just that.
Whether you’ve moved to a new area, your prior provider is inaccessible, or you seek reassurance regarding your hearing aids' efficacy, our verification services are designed to address your unique needs comprehensively.
Understanding Hearing Aid Verification
Hearing aids are a significant investment in your quality of life. Given that hearing naturally declines over time (typically 1.3 dB to 1.8 dB per year), it is crucial for your hearing aids to keep pace with these changes.
Our verification appointment ensures your devices are optimized to your current hearing needs. This begins with a detailed hearing test to evaluate if and how your hearing has changed since your last assessment.
Following your comprehensive hearing assessment, advanced verification techniques, such as real-ear measurements (REM), ensure your hearing aids' settings align perfectly with your prescription.
These measures confirm that your devices are amplifying sound precisely as needed for your hearing profile, providing assurance and clarity.
Your Hearing Assessment Insights
Even if your hearing hasn't changed significantly, verify that your hearing aids continue to operate effectively.
Should adjustments be necessary due to shifts in your hearing profile or device programming, we’re ready to recalibrate your devices to ensure they provide the clarity you expect and deserve.
Our professional team ensures your hearing aids’ performance matches your daily communication needs, whether it's in quiet conversations or crowded environments.
Setting Your Hearing Goals
Your hearing goals are deeply personal and crucial to the verification process.
Whether you're connecting with friends in noisy settings, enjoying family gatherings, or managing complex workplace environments, your hearing experience is tailored to match these scenarios.
If you’re a teacher returning to active classrooms with young children or if you're navigating social events for business, your goals are our priority.
Our objective is to provide you with outstanding hearing health support, regardless of your previous provider. You are supported by a skilled community of hearing care professionals committed to delivering superior care.
