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.

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.
