Follow-up Appointments
After you have been fitted with technology, we will be available for any adjustments you may need. To ensure your new hearing technology is functioning properly, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled within 1-2 weeks of your fitting. At this appointment, adjustments could be made to your instruments to further improve your hearing abilities in the situations important to you.

It is important to participate in the recommended auditory re-training program to ensure you are able to hear and understand as much as possible. These programs could include aural rehabilitation, lip-reading, communication enhancement and speech therapy. Combining a re-training program with your new hearing system will ensure the best possible integration of the technology into your life and maximize
the value of your investment in better hearing.

technology is meeting your needs. We recommend visiting us annually for this verification.

need to be updated and adjusted to meet your needs. Remember, these adjustments are normal.
