I fear I must again seek a new hearing aid SIGH
Can anyone tell me how to verify an audiologist is doing a RealEar test??
What should I ask or look for?? – since most anyone could answer ‘Yes’ and I might not know it’s not truly a RealEar audiogram test.
Thank you!!
They’ll stick a microphone probe into your ear canal with your HAs fitted, I wouldn’t be so concerned about REM, it’s not like your hearing is going to be magically restored.

REM (real ear measurement) is used when fitting the hearing aid, not when the hearing is being tested and an audiogram is created. Only 33% of the audiologists in the US use REM, It can be a useful tool but is far from being a requirement.

Costco does REM as part of their standard fitting.
