Hearing Aid Refresh: Not Hearing Your Best? 

You’re wearing hearing aids—but are they really working for you? If you’re struggling to follow conversations, constantly adjusting volume, or still avoiding noisy environments, your hearing aids might not be doing their job—and it might not be your fault.

“Something Just Doesn’t Sound Right…” 

Many patients come to us with this concern: 

“I’ve had these hearing aids for a while, but I’m not hearing as clearly as I thought I would. I don’t know if it’s the devices, my hearing, or something else—but I’d like a professional to take a look.” 

If this sounds like you, we’re here to help. 

Our Hearing Aid Process

At our practice, we don’t guess—we investigate. Our Hearing Aid Refresh appointment is designed to uncover exactly what’s going on. Here’s what we’ll do: 

  • Evaluate your hearing with an up-to-date audiogram to detect any changes since your last test
  • Assess your current hearing aids—including condition, programming, and technology level. 
  • Check the fit and performance using real-ear measurements to ensure your devices are matched to your unique hearing profile. 
  • Discuss your daily listening experience—what’s working, what’s not, and where you’re noticing gaps. 

Whether the issue is an outdated prescription, poor initial programming, or a physical fit problem, we’ll help you get to the root of it—and fix it. 

Why Hearing Aids Under Perform 

Even high-end hearing aids can disappoint if they’re not:

  • Fitted correctly to your ears 
  • Programmed to match your current hearing loss 
  • Maintained or updated regularly 

In some cases, the hearing aids themselves are fine—it’s the fitting or calibration that needs adjusting. That’s where our expertise makes the difference. 

Next Steps: Refresh, Reprogram, or Replace 

Once we’ve completed your refresh visit, you’ll leave with clarity and confidence. Whether your devices just need: 

  • A fine-tuning 
  • A firmware update 
  • A repair 
  • Or you’re ready to explore new technology 

We’ll create a personalized path forward.
