Real Ear Measurement (REM) Hearing Aid Fittings at Home

Guarantee a precise and personalised hearing aid fitting with Real Ear Measurement (REM) from Key to Hearing. Our expert audiologist, Keeley Salmon, brings this advanced fitting technology to your home across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, and surrounding areas.

Why Real Ear Measurement (REM) Matters for Accurate Hearing Aid Fittings

Real Ear Measurement, also known as probe microphone measurement, is a measured evaluation method used by audiologists to accurately assess the sound levels within your unique ear canal. This crucial step ensures your purchased hearing aids are precisely calibrated to your individual hearing needs, leading to clearer sound and greater listening comfort.

Why Key to Hearing Prioritises REM for Your Hearing Aid Package

While Real Ear Measurement is the benchmark for optimal hearing aid fitting, many hearing care providers don't routinely include it due to time constraints, equipment costs, or a lack of specialised training. At Key to Hearing, we believe that optimal hearing outcomes are paramount, which is why REM is a core component of our hearing aid package, offering you:

Personalised Precision for Superior Sound:

  • We use REM to fine-tune your purchased hearing aids to the specific acoustics of your ear canals, maximising clarity, reducing distortion, and enhancing overall sound quality.

Enhanced Speech Understanding, Especially in Noise:

  • By accurately calibrating your hearing aids with REM, we optimise speech intelligibility, making it easier to follow conversations even in challenging listening environments.

Comfortable Listening and Hearing Protection:

  • REM helps prevent over-amplification, ensuring your hearing aids are comfortable to wear for extended periods and protecting your residual hearing.

Objective Verification for Long-Term Confidence:

  • We use objective data for the accurate fitting of your hearing aids, giving you greater confidence in your hearing solution and long-term satisfaction.

Our Commitment to Exceptional Care, Brought to Your Door:

  • Key to Hearing is dedicated to providing the highest standard of audiological care. Including REM with your hearing aid purchase reflects our commitment to your long-term hearing success and convenience.

Why REM is Exclusive to Key to Hearing Customers

Please note that Real Ear Measurement (REM) is a key component of our comprehensive hearing aid fitting process and is exclusively offered to customers who purchase their hearing aids from Key to Hearing. Selecting the most appropriate hearing aids for your individual needs is a crucial first step, and REM ensures these chosen devices are then precisely calibrated for optimal performance and satisfaction. Attempting REM with unsuitable hearing aids wouldn't guarantee a positive outcome and could lead to complexities regarding service satisfaction. By integrating REM with your hearing aid purchase, we can ensure a seamless and effective journey towards better hearing.

Our Real Ear Measurement Process During Your Home Hearing Aid Fitting

As part of your comprehensive home visit hearing care, Keeley Salmon will perform Real Ear Measurement during your hearing aid fitting. This involves:

  • Carefully placing a small, comfortable probe microphone in your ear canal.

  • Measuring the sound levels produced by your hearing aids within your ear canal.

  • Comparing these measurements to prescribed targets based on your individual hearing loss.

  • Making precise adjustments to your hearing aid settings to match these targets, ensuring optimal and personalised amplification.

Important Information Regarding Real Ear Measurement at Home

While Key to Hearing is committed to providing comprehensive hearing care, including Real Ear Measurement (REM), there are certain practical considerations. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the REM procedure, we require a suitable environment for setting up our audiological equipment. This typically involves a quiet space with adequate seating and room for our equipment to be positioned correctly.

During your initial consultation or when scheduling your hearing aid fitting, we will discuss the requirements for performing REM in your home. In the event that your home environment and seating arrangements are not suitable for the proper setup and execution of REM, we will explore alternative solutions to ensure you still receive the most accurate and personalised hearing aid fitting possible. Your comfort and the precision of our measurements are our top priorities.
