Probe microphone measures are a series of calibrated tests that allow me to fit your hearing aids with precision. While my computer can arrive to a very close approximation of what your hearing aid should be doing, probe microphone measures allow me to measure exactly what your hearing aids are outputting at the ear drum.
Sometimes there may be certain frequencies that are under or over boosted. Probe microphone measures allow me to see where this is happening and then I can make the necessary adjustment to your devices. What I’m trying to do here is to make sure you are hearing everything you should be and at the appropriate levels, so that your investment pays for itself over its lifespan.
