What is Real Ear Measurement?

Real Ear Measures is a verification method used to ensure your hearing aids are programmed specifically for your ears. A small microphone placed in the ear canal measures the sound coming from the hearing aid near the eardrum. It measures the effect your ear canal has on the sound and then corrects the prescription as needed. Each person’s ears are unique. Unless Real Ear measurements are taken, the fitting cannot be considered accurate. Not all hearing care providers perform this process. It is part of ‘Best Practices’.
