Real Ear Measurement (REM)

Real Ear Measurement (REM): Ensuring a Precise Fit

Real Ear Measurement (REM) is the gold standard for verifying that your hearing aids are programmed to the optimal level for your unique ear anatomy. While a hearing test tells us how much amplification you need, REM confirms that the hearing aid is providing exactly that amplification once it's in your ear.

Think of it as the final, critical step in the fitting process. Without REM, we would be relying on a general-purpose setting that may not perfectly match your ear's acoustics, potentially leading to sounds that are too soft or too loud.

How It Works:

• Placement: A tiny, soft microphone probe is placed in your ear canal, very close to your eardrum. It's a quick and comfortable process.
• Measurement: We play a series of calibrated sounds, and the probe microphone measures exactly what sounds the hearing aid is delivering to your eardrum.
• Fine-Tuning: We use this real-time data to make precise adjustments to your hearing aid's settings. This ensures the sound is perfectly customized for your hearing loss and your ear canal's unique shape, leading to a more natural and clear listening experience.

Real Ear Measurement is a testament to our commitment to providing the most accurate and personalized hearing care possible, helping you achieve the best possible results from your hearing aids.
