Maximize Your Hearing Aid

Written by Delores Sutton | Mar 29, 2019 1:00:00 PM

Audiologists know that the benefit of hearing aids is wasted if the hearing aid itself is not properly adjusted.

New equipment is now available to assist audiologist Dr. Heather O’Laughlin with precision fitting and adjustment of hearing aids. 

Called Real Ear Measures, a small microphone is placed in the ear canal and measurements are taken with and without the hearing aid.  Individual ear acoustics are measured and real time adjustments are made to the hearing aid so speech sounds are clear and audible.

This measurement is beneficial for new hearing aid fittings as well as for fine tuning and adjusting existing hearing aids.  Call Lane Audiology today to maximize your hearing aids at 225-658-4145.
