The dizzying speed of change and the need to adapt to a high dependency on technology and the so-called digital gap has produced a lack of qualified providers.
Artificial information is set to be one of the key technologies in the sweeping transformation in hearing-instruments. Finding a provider capable of bridging the gap between technologies, connectivity supporting telemedicine, remote care and hybrid options is paramount to a successful hearing-instrument fitting.
Choices for consumers have grown increasingly complex. At ‘GtH’, Spencer will be your advocate, sorting through this array of options to provide you with the most satisfying hearing benefit possible.

QUALIFIED, COMPETENT FITTING
"The one critical thing I recommend a (client) look for is an office who runs real-ear verification tests on everyone when fitting and customizing hearing aids,” (Audiologist) Dr. Bailey says. “This is a test where a tiny microphone is placed within the ear along with the hearing aid to measure the hearing aid's output” and what the patient actually hears.
Though the insides of people's ears have the same basic shape, little differences can change how sound bounces around before it hits the eardrum. The size of the ear canal, where the hearing aid's speaker is placed within it and personal preference for louder or softer sounds from the device are among the variations that play a part.source: https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2020/smart-hearing-aid-features.html
