In this video Helen explains how her hearing was dramatically improved by Lifetime hearing Denton through the use of Real Ear Measurement. This is the measurement of sound pressure level in a patient’s ear canal developed when a hearing aid is worn. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and American Academy of Audiology (AAA) both recommend real ear measures as the preferred method of verifying the performance of hearing aids.
Real ear measures are the most reliable and efficient method for assessing the benefit provided by the amplification. Measurement of the sound level in the ear canal allows the clinician to make informed judgements on audibility of sound in the ear and the effectiveness of hearing aid treatment.
