The NYHD Approach: Your 45-Day Fitting Sequence and Beyond

Within the 45 day fitting sequence, that can be tailored to each individual patient! While we are committed to the best practices of the HearingUp Network, were able to use every tool at our disposal to test and make adjustments as needed. These can include aided hearing tests, speech recognition, probe mic verification in addition to review of the data logged on your devices.

While we can certainly address the sound of hearing aids in the office, a controlled environment like an audiology office doesnt test the hearing aids the way that real life does! Over 45 days, youre likely to encounter situations large and small that youll want to address, and our sequence guarantees the opportunity to talk about everything. Whether its making sure you have a dedicated restaurant mode, changing the way you take phone calls or simply going over cleaning instructions, were here for you!

The 45-day fitting sequence is normally four appointments, but any additional needs that require appointments in the first 45 days will be accommodated at no original charge! Were here to make experts out of our patients, and were ready to put in the effort.

The 45-day fitting sequence at New York Hearing Doctors involves four scheduled appointments to ensure optimal comfort, sound quality, and clinical accuracy. It includes dispensing, designing personalized settings, defining preferences, and detailing adjustments for long-term success. It also allows for regular check-ins that allow you, the user, to become an expert in your own devices!

During the first appointment, hearing aids are programmed to your specific hearing loss, smartphone apps are set up, and initial verification of the devices is performed in a controlled environment before testing them in real-world scenarios.

Tests such as Real Ear Measurements (REMs), Speech-in-Noise testing (QuickSIN), and other aided assessments may be conducted based on your results and goals. These tests, along with your direct feedback, help your doctor refine your hearing aid settings over time.

After completing the sequence, patients can choose a continued support plan for either one or three years. This ensures ongoing calibration and adjustments to meet changing needs.

Multiple appointments allow audiologists to fine-tune the devices based on your experiences in different environments, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness in daily life. While good work can be done a single fitting appointment based on concrete data, feedback based on regular input and conversation from you ensures that these devices are delivering the best possible experience for you, the individual!

The fitting sequence is a four-step process over the first 45 days to ensure your hearing aids are customized for both comfort and accuracy. Each appointment builds on your real-world experiences to fine-tune the settings.

Your hearing needs vary across different environments. Multiple appointments allow our audiologists to review your feedback and data logs, making adjustments that reflect your daily life and listening goals.

At the fitting appointment, your hearing aids are programmed to your specific hearing loss, your smartphone app is set up, and we verify your devices in a quiet environment before you begin real-world use.

We use your feedback, usage data and additional booth testing to adjust the settings during follow-up appointments. This helps us gradually refine your experience for different environments to ensure optimal hearing performance.

Yes! You can choose a 1-year or 3-year support plan, and our team will continue to provide care and recalibration as your needs evolve, because hearing is not one-size-fits-all.
