If you do locate an audiologist even if they charge, can they program and fit/refit a HA from a manufacturer they do not sell in stores? I ask because I would assume they would only keep software for their brands, and not have the software from all big 6 manufacturers. Or am I off base and they just have them for situations like a walk in needing assistance.
I’m not familiar with the software packages I know folks here use for self fitting. Can an audiologist simply get that package and go from there? Is there a steep learning curve to each, or are they very similar, with just things like features having different names.
As my Starkeys are from a private audi, I don’t have the advantage of a Costco type of a national HA center setup. Would I need to find someone who is a dealer in Starkey to get help?
This is stuff I never really thought about as I’ve never relocated, always living in NYC, but if I do ever move out, it’s something I’ll need to consider.
