Just got my first hearing aids from Costco Phillips 9040s. I see on the form and on YouTube that it is very common and almost recommended to go back a few times after you get your first hearing aids to get them tweaked for better sound. I asked the audiologist, Or should I say the fitter at Costco about this. They told me that they fit and program your hearing aids to your hearing loss. And that the way they are set is most specific to your hearing needs. And if you need to come back, they will make adjustments but they are usually so that you can get used to hearing sounds the way you’re supposed to based on your test. But actually, you should Try to get used to the way they are program As that is correct.
My question is are tweaks, taking you away from The optimal correction for your hearing loss? And what type of tweaks are other people getting done that improves their hearing? If a tweak is taking you away from your prescribed hearing loss how is that helping? Or is it just taking away distracting noises that you haven’t heard for the first time? hopefully you can see my dilemma or confusion. I don’t feel that I got a very good answer from my Costco fitting person.
