Experiencing Hearing Loss? You’re Not Alone

Millions of people experience hearing loss, but no two people experience hearing loss in the exact same way. Your audiologist will go the extra mile to make sure that your hearing aid technology exactly matches your lifestyle goals. 

You deserve precise programming, careful measurement, and comprehensive education optimized for your unique needs – and that’s exactly what you’ll get at your appointment for your hearing aids in Fort Lauderdale. FL.

What to Expect at Your Hearing Aids Appointment

Programming

At your fitting, your audiologist will employ hearing tests developed by your hearing aid manufacturer in order to effectively program your hearing aids. Precise programming is necessary so that you can hear clearly in a variety of listening situations.

Measurement

 Next, your hearing aid doctor will measure the effectiveness of your hearing aids using quick and painless tests called Real Ear Measurement (REM) tests. Using test results and feedback directly from you, your doctor will achieve top performance from your hearing aids.

Education

 Proper care and maintenance of your hearing aids can make a big difference in keeping them effective for years to come. Your doctor will teach you about best practices for your hearing aids’ care and take time answer any other questions you may have.

Hearing Aids FAQ

How long do hearing aids typically last?

Most modern hearing aids last between 5 to 7 years with proper care. Regular maintenance and timely adjustments from your audiologist can help extend their lifespan.

Will insurance cover the cost of my hearing aids?

Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan. Some providers offer partial coverage or discounts, while others may not cover hearing aids at all. Our team can help you navigate your options and provide financing solutions if needed.

How often should I schedule follow-up visits after getting hearing aids?

After your initial fitting, we usually recommend a follow-up within a few weeks to make adjustments based on your experience. After that, yearly checkups—or sooner if you notice changes in hearing—are a good routine to maintain.

Can I try hearing aids before committing to a purchase?

Yes! At South Florida ENT Associates, we offer a risk-free trial period so you can test your hearing aids in everyday settings and feel confident in your decision.

Are hearing aids waterproof?

While most hearing aids are water-resistant and can withstand light sweat or rain, they are not fully waterproof. It’s important to remove them before swimming, showering, or using a sauna to protect sensitive components.

What happens if my hearing changes after I already have hearing aids?

Hearing often changes over time. Your audiologist can reprogram your current devices to match your updated needs, or if necessary, recommend an upgraded model to keep you hearing your best.
