Those $7,000 hearing aids sitting in your drawer? 😕
They’re probably not the real problem.😮
We see this all the time at Sioux Falls Audiology Associates:
Someone invests in top-of-the-line hearing aids, wears them briefly, then gives up—while someone else succeeds for years with more modest technology.🤨
So what’s the difference?🤷♀️
👉 The fitting.
Hearing aids aren’t “one-size-fits-all.” Even the most advanced technology won’t help if it isn’t precisely fit to your hearing loss, your lifestyle, and your daily listening environments.
Think of hearing aids like prescription glasses—the frames don’t matter if the prescription isn’t right.🤓
A proper fitting should include:
✔️ Real-ear measurements to verify accuracy for your ears
✔️ Follow-up visits and fine-tuning as your brain adapts
✔️ Coaching for challenging listening situations
✔️ Ongoing care as your needs change
Yes, technology matters.👍
But the professional guiding the process matters even more.
Before upgrading to the latest model, ask yourself:
“Did my hearing aids ever receive the time, precision, and support they needed to work well?”🤔
If not, you may not have a hearing aid problem—you may have a fitting problem.😖
