Individual - Who are we? > Support throughout your adaptation Support throughout your adaptation Support you every step of the way! Making contact: an exchange in complete confidence The Audioprosthetist Hear listens to you and answers your questions during a first meeting which will allow you to determine your motivation, your priorities (aesthetics, comfort, cost, etc.) and your various requirements. Additional tests: the choice of hearing aid During the first appointment, the hearing-aid acoustician completes the tests generally carried out by the ENT doctor, in order to adapt them to the practice of hearing correction. These absolutely painless tests give the hearing care professional precise options of what to offer you. The choice of hearing aid then begins (what types of devices to use, what technologies to choose, etc.). Once informed of all the available solutions, you choose the option that suits you. The Audioprosthetist Hear then performs a molding of your ear canal (if necessary and depending on the hearing aid selected) which allows you to make your in-ear or eartip to measure. For some hearing aids (eg open) no molding is necessary. The hearing-aid acoustician can begin the adjustment phase from this first appointment. The adaptation process: three progressive phases Adaptation L’adaptation constitue la période sensible de l’appareillage auditif et commence par un essai dans la vie normale. Durant cette période, les réglages évoluent en fonction de tests auditifs ou acoustiques et de votre propre ressenti vers un réglage « optimal ». La période moyenne d’adaptation est de 15 jours. La meilleure méthode pour une adaptation rapide consiste à porter vos aides auditives du matin au soir, dès les premiers jours, tout en évitant cependant les ambiances trop bruyantes (cocktails, repas de groupes, grands magasins…). Familiarisez-vous avec vos aides auditives et entraînez-vous à les mettre et les enlever à l’aide d’une glace. Le suivi d’adaptation Two successive check-ups are often necessary in order to change the setting of your hearing aids according to the habit and taking into account your first impressions. If necessary, the hearing-aid acoustician may have to change the setting resulting from the adaptation period. Permanent control Like any electronic instrument, a hearing aid requires regular check-ups. Modification of the settings if the hearing has evolved, technical checks, cleaning and disinfection of the earpieces and shells, are an integral part of the role of the hearing aid acoustician in order to ensure the efficiency of your equipment over time. As this follow-up is prosthetic and not medical, it does not replace your periodic visit to your ENT doctor.
