One exciting new development in hearing aids is the ability to adjust them remotely, ensuring your devices are always perfectly tuned to your needs. Let\u2019s examine why your hearing aids might need adjusting and how you can do so remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Might Your Hearing Aids Need Adjusting?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1253\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Woman-with-a-hearing-aid-looking-at-her-phone.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with a hearing aid looking at her phone.\" class=\"wp-image-1333\" style=\"width:450px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Woman-with-a-hearing-aid-looking-at-her-phone.jpg 1253w, https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Woman-with-a-hearing-aid-looking-at-her-phone-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1253px) 100vw, 1253px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you first get hearing aids, your provider will program them to match your needs. As time passes, changes in your hearing or lifestyle may impact the effectiveness of your devices. A few reasons your devices may need adjusting include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hearing loss progression<\/strong>. Hearing loss often begins mildly but can worsen over time. As your hearing loss progresses, you may need to adjust your hearing aid amplification. In some cases, profound hearing loss might require new hearing aids.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clarity<\/strong>. If you find that speech suddenly feels muffled or unclear, a hearing aid adjustment can address this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>New environments<\/strong>. Your hearing aid needs may change based on your environment. For example, noisy nights out at The Mule Edmond may require different settings than quiet days at home. If you find your hearing aids aren\u2019t providing enough clarity in your daily environments, an adjustment and consultation can address that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feedback<\/strong>. Feedback, usually described as a whistling noise, can interfere with your sound quality. Although most feedback results from earwax blockage or improper fit or placement, it can be a sign that you need new programming. If you\u2019re experiencing feedback, try cleaning your devices. If feedback persists, schedule an adjustment appointment with your specialist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Remote Adjustments Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote adjustment may differ based on your hearing aid brand and the <a href=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/hearing-aids\/repair-service\/\">specific issue you want to resolve<\/a>, but it typically involves these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Request an appointment with your provider. You can usually do this through your hearing aid app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect with your provider at the scheduled time. You will likely do this through your hearing aid app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Describe the reason you need an adjustment. Your hearing aid specialist may request specific information regarding muffled hearing, clarity issues or feedback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your provider will make small changes to your device settings to address the issue. Once the changes are made, you may need to accept them through the app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should notice an immediate improvement in your hearing. If the new settings don\u2019t feel right, you can always go back to the old ones and try again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on hearing aid adjustments or to schedule an appointment, contact <span class=\"company-name \">Hearing Care by Hough<\/span> today to speak to one of our providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ul class=\"related-posts\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/how-to-prepare-your-child-for-a-hearing-test-tips-for-a-stress-free-experience\/\" class=\"related-post\">How to Prepare Your Child for a Hearing Test: Tips for a Stress-Free Experience<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/can-hearing-loss-be-reversed\/\" class=\"related-post\">Can Hearing Loss Be Reversed<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearingcarebyhough.com\/signs-of-hearing-loss-in-musicians\/\" class=\"related-post\">Signs of Hearing Loss in Musicians<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are approximately 28.8 million people in the United States alone who could benefit from hearing aids.
