Here at NYHD, our audiologists believe that every hearing aid user should be an expert hearing aid user! To set you up for long-term success, we’ll have four scheduled appointments over the first 45 days, refining the sound you hear for comfort and personal preference as well as clinical accuracy. Based on the rigorous best-practice standards of the Network, we’re here to make sure that your hearing technology supports the life you’re actively living!
Our 45-Day Sequence

FITTING SEQUENCE 1: DISPENSE
We’ll deliver devices programmed to your exact hearing loss, set up your smartphone app and do initial verification of your devices in a controlled environment before sending you out to experience other environments with their own unique sonic experiences.

FITTING SEQUENCE 2: DESIGN
We’ll review your data logs from your first few days, tailoring your baseline settings to account for what you’ve experienced in various environments and how you’d like to experience sound.

FITTING SEQUENCE 3: DEFINE
As you develop increasing comfort with the devices and, in some cases, multiple modes, you and your doctor will continue to fine-tune your experience, reviewing maintenance and making sure you’re getting the most from your devices.

FITTING SEQUENCE 4: DETAIL
You and your doctor will reconvene for additional testing and verification of your devices, making small adjustments and setting you on a course for long-term success!

BEYOND THE SEQUENCE
The only constant is change, and we want to make those changes with you! When you get your devices, you’ll choose between a 1-year or a 3-year continued support plan, and we’ll make sure your devices are always calibrated to meet you where you are.

By seeing our new Hearing Aid users early and often, our patients develop comfort quickly and determine their preferences precisely, ensuring that these devices can seamlessly become part of a life in progress!
Throughout the fitting process, your audiologist will follow the Network’s best practices; some tests may even be run at multiple appointments to measure improvement at no additional cost. These tests can include Real Ear Measurement (REMs) for verification, Speech-in-noise testing (QuickSIN), and additional aided testing, and the doctor will select these based on your results, your experience and your goals.
