Benefits of Independent Hearing Clinics
Birdsong Audiology is a small and independent audiology practice. We operate quite differently from large hearing aid “chains”. This blog explores the differences you can expect.
Understanding Your Hearing Test
Your audiogram is a depiction of what sounds are audible for you and what sounds are not. Taking the time to understand your audiogram can help you understand your hearing needs.
How to Find a (Great!) Hearing Clinic
A hearing clinic is going to be a huge determinant of your success (or lack thereof) with hearing treatment. Consider if the hearing clinic you choose is going to meet your needs.
Real Ear Measurement
Real ear measurement is used to verify that your hearing aids are meeting prescriptive targets. For optimal hearing aid performance, this should be done at fitting appointments, annual appointments, and whenever a change is made to the hearing aid fit.
Easy to Use Hearing Aids
Ease of use should be considered when selecting hearing aids. Your dexterity and vision can impact how you use hearing aids. Certain styles of hearing aids can be easier to use and accessories can be helpful as well.
