We measure what your hearing aid is actually doing inside your ear.

Most hearing aids are programmed to a software prediction and handed over. We verify every fitting with Real Ear Measurement, adjust to target, and show you the proof before you leave.

Placing a probe microphone in a patient's ear canal
Our Approach

If it isn't measured, it's a guess.

Real Ear Measurement (REM) places a very thin probe microphone in your ear canal, beside the eardrum, while the hearing aid is running. We see the actual sound arriving at your eardrum at every pitch, compare it to the prescriptive target for your hearing loss, and adjust until the two match.

Industry surveys put the share of providers who routinely perform REM at roughly a third. Which means most people wearing hearing aids have never had theirs verified.

About Us

A small practice, on purpose.

Serving the Coachella Valley since 2012. We would rather see fewer patients and keep them for twenty years than move people through in twenty minutes.

Come see the difference measurement makes.
