Consultation with an audiologist
The consultation begins with a detailed anamnesis. In this case, the doctor clarifies the client's complaints and studies his medical history.
The further process looks like this:
- Hearing diagnostics
- Product selection
- Initial debugging
- Instructions for use
In order to monitor the state of hearing and the operation of the equipment, the doctor develops a plan for regular visits.
How hearing aids are adjusted
Before starting to adjust the acoustic device, the audiologist conducts a thorough examination and diagnostics. This allows him to determine the degree of hearing loss. Then the price of adjusting the hearing aid is discussed with the client.
Based on the data received, the doctor selects the most suitable device. Then the process of adjusting the device begins.
The initial adaptation period takes from 2 to 14 days, during which a person will have to evaluate audibility in various conditions: during a conversation with people, in noisy places, while watching TV or listening to the radio. It is also recommended to perform an exercise to determine the source of the voice in a room with several people. Then you should check this same ability in a noisy environment.
The main stages of hearing aid adjustment are as follows:
- Initial configuration verification At this stage, the specialist, based on the results of the audiological examination, sets the initial parameters of the equipment
- Initial adaptation The patient begins to use the product, gradually getting used to the new sensations
- Adjustment After a few days of using the acoustic device, the patient returns to the audiologist and shares his impressions. The specialist analyzes the feedback and makes (if necessary) the necessary adjustments to the settings
- Further adaptation After adjustments, the product should be configured in such a way that the patient can use it without problems. Subsequent visits to the specialist are usually only needed for a routine hearing test

Methods of adjusting hearing aids
There are two main ways to adjust hearing devices. Programmable devices are adjusted using special software. The process is based on the patient's audiogram. Non-programmable models are adjusted manually using trimmers. In this case, hearing aids in Moscow are adjusted using a small screwdriver.
Non-programmable models have up to 4 adjustment parameters. Because of this, finding the ideal sound level is quite difficult. In addition, trimmer hearing aids do not adapt to changes in the environment, do not amplify quiet sounds and do not suppress loud sounds. They also cannot distinguish speech from general noise.
Programming an acoustic device on a computer makes it possible to accurately calculate and set the desired amplification parameters. The process takes into account the following factors:
This approach allows you to fine-tune the device and adapt it to a more natural perception of sounds.
