Hearing Aid Evaluation and Fitting at CMC Dubai

Hearing aid evaluation and fitting in Dubai at Clemenceau Medical Center Hospital,  is a process that involves assessing a patient’s hearing and selecting and fitting a hearing aid that best meets their needs.

Here are the typical steps involved in the process:

1. Hearing evaluation: The first step is to conduct a hearing evaluation to determine the type and degree of hearing loss. This may involve a comprehensive hearing test, including pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and other tests that evaluate the patient’s ability to hear and understand speech.
2. Hearing aid selection: Once the hearing evaluation is complete, the audiologist or hearing healthcare professional will work with the patient to select a hearing aid that best meets their needs. Factors to consider include the degree and type of hearing loss, lifestyle, budget, and personal preferences.
3. Hearing aid fitting: After selecting a hearing aid, the next step is to fit the device to the patient’s ear. This involves adjusting the hearing aid to ensure that it provides the appropriate amplification and sound quality for the patient’s hearing loss.
4. Verification and validation: After the hearing aid is fitted, the audiologist will conduct verification and validation measures to ensure that the device is providing the appropriate amplification and sound quality. These measures may include real-ear measurements, speech-in-noise testing, and other measures of hearing aid performance.
5. Follow-up care: After the hearing aid is fitted and verified, the patient will receive follow-up care to ensure that the device continues to meet their needs over time. This may involve additional adjustments to the device, counseling on communication strategies, and other forms of support to help the patient adjust to the device and improve their hearing ability.
