Fitting a hearing device is a meticulous process, starting from the initial study, but not finishing with the fitting itself. To us, this process does not finish until the patient gets accustomed to its new situation, since we want to improve its well-being. Until now, Otoclinic continues attending and advising its patients as many times as they need.

Our main task starts where others end up.

The fitting process requires the following steps:

1. Anamnesis		Patient’s history
2. Audiometric tests		Air-conduction tone audiometry Bone-conduction tone audiometry Discomfort threshold Speech audiometry Tonal free-field Verbal free-field
3. Selection of the device		Gain calculation Comparative analysis of characteristics Measurement "in situ"
4. Subjective comparison of the device		Free-field tone audiometry Free-field speech audiometry
5. Device Fitting		Impression Calculation of ventilation Material calculation Transducers calculation Configuration and parameter adjustment
6. Subjective verification of definitive hearing aid		Free-field tone audiometry Free-field speech audiometry
7. Hearing aid final report		Report to the specialist in Otorhinolaryngology Documentation for the patient Manufacturer warranty
8. Adaptation Plan		Demonstration and recommendations for use Comprehensive monitoring during the first month Semiannual check-ups
