Real Ear Measurements (REM)
Ensuring Your Hearing Aids Work Perfectly for You
At Horan & Fevold Hearing Clinic, we’re committed to providing the best possible hearing solutions tailored to your unique needs. One of the most important tools we use during hearing aid fitting and programming is Real Ear Measurement (REM), also known as probe microphone measurement. This gold-standard verification process helps us confirm that your hearing aids deliver the exact amplification you need for clear, comfortable hearing in real-world situations.
What Are Real Ear Measurements?
Every ear is unique in its size, shape, and acoustics. What sounds perfect in a manufacturer’s test lab or on a computer simulation may not be ideal once placed in your ear. Real Ear Measurements use a thin, soft silicone probe tube (much thinner than a strand of spaghetti) inserted gently into your ear canal alongside the hearing aid.
While you wear the hearing aid, we present calibrated test sounds (like speech at different volumes) through a speaker. The probe microphone precisely measures the sound pressure level reaching your eardrum. We compare these real-time readings to your specific hearing test results and recommended targets, then fine-tune the hearing aid settings on the spot.
The entire process is quick, painless, and non-invasive—most patients barely notice the probe tube.
What to Expect During Your Fitting
- We place the thin probe tube in your ear canal with the hearing aid inserted.
- Test sounds are played, and measurements are taken for soft, average, and loud speech.
- We review the results with you on a screen and make precise programming adjustments.
- We repeat measurements as needed until everything matches your personalized targets.
Why Are Real Ear Measurements Important?
- Personalized Accuracy: Generic “first-fit” settings from the manufacturer often over- or under-amplify certain frequencies. REM ensures your aids match your exact hearing loss and ear anatomy for optimal speech clarity.
- Better Outcomes: Studies and clinical best practices show that patients fitted with REM report higher satisfaction, better performance in noise, and fewer return visits for adjustments.
- Confidence in Your Investment: You’ll know your hearing aids are programmed correctly for you, not just an “average” ear.
This is why professional organizations like the American Academy of Audiology recommend REM as part of best-practice hearing aid fittings.
