Hearing aid Fittings
At our clinic, hearing aid fittings are more than just selecting a device—they’re a personalised process designed to help you hear your best. During a fitting, our audiologist ensures that your hearing aids are precisely programmed to match your unique hearing needs and lifestyle. We guide you through how to use, care for, and adjust to your new devices, providing ongoing support to ensure comfort, clarity, and confidence in your hearing experience. Whether it's your first fitting or an upgrade, we're here to help you reconnect with the sounds that matter most.
Real Ear Measurements (REMS)
When it comes to hearing aids, one size doesn’t fit all—and that’s where Real Ear Measurements (REMs) come in. At Herts Hearing, we use this advanced, science-based method to make sure your hearing aids are truly customized to your needs.
What are Real Ear Measurements?
REMs are a quick, painless test that shows how sound behaves in your unique ear canal while you're wearing your hearing aids. By measuring this, we can adjust your devices so you hear sounds clearly, comfortably, and naturally.
The Benefits for you:
-
Tailored to Your Ears
Everyone’s ears are shaped differently. REMs help us program your hearing aids to match your unique ear anatomy. -
Clearer Conversations
With the right settings, you’ll hear voices and speech more clearly—even in busy or noisy places. -
No Guesswork, Just Results
We rely on real-time data, not factory settings, to get your hearing aid performance exactly where it should be. -
Comfort You Can Count On
Avoid issues like sounds being too loud or too soft. REMs help us hit the perfect balance for your comfort. -
More Confidence, Better Hearing
When you know your hearing aids are set up properly, you can enjoy life’s moments without second-guessing your hearing.
A Gold Standard in Hearing Care
REM is recommended by hearing aid experts worldwide as the gold standard for hearing aid fitting. Without it, hearing aids may be under or over-amplified, leading to discomfort or poor results.

At Herts Hearing, we use REMs to ensure you're hearing at your best - comfortably, accurately, and confidently.
