Best Practice: Hearing Aid Fitting

In this video, audiologist Louai, discusses best practices when it comes to fitting a new hearing aid. While hearing aid technology has advanced in leaps and bounds, the best way to optimise a hearing aid to an individual's ear is to ensure that Real Ear Measurements (REM) are performed and that subjective validation measures are assessed.

Hi, what devices do you recommend most for musicians or singers?

[@ValueHearing]

Hi @kaylasmusic. Personally, I tend to recommend Widex Moment as its processing of sounds is usually preferred by musicians. However, I've also had some good feedback for Resound (Omnia or One) and Oticon (More or Real). Regardeless, a manual program for music is a must because how we optimse the hearing aid for music is completely different to what is required for speech optimisation. I'd say Widex is still my go to for most musicians though. Pauline @ Value Hearing
