FAQs

Exactly what will be done in each appointment?

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.

Why 4 appointments? Why 45 days?

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!

What if I need more appointments?

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.

Is the 45 day fitting sequence optional?

The sequence is not optional, because best practices arent optional! Weve built this sequence to encompass a full list of best practices that are known to our industry as necessary for maximum benefit from your devices! There are places in life to cut corners, but your care at NYHD is not one of them. Were here to support your success, and it starts with a commitment to you!
