Hearing Aid Fitting by Upstate California’s Trusted Specialists

At UpState Hearing Instruments, we understand that properly fitted hearing aids are essential for transforming your hearing experience. Our team of skilled specialists brings decades of combined experience to each fitting appointment.

We take pride in serving the Upstate California community with personalized care that ensures your hearing aids not only perform optimally but feel comfortable from day one.

The UpState Difference in Hearing Aid Fitting

When you choose UpState Hearing Instruments for your hearing aid fitting, you’re not just getting a device—you’re gaining a partner in your hearing health journey. Our unique 14-day test drive program allows you to experience better hearing with no deposit, contract, or commitment. This distinctive approach ensures you can confidently invest in technology that truly works for your lifestyle.

We believe proper fitting is the foundation of successful hearing aid use. Our comprehensive process includes precision measurements, advanced verification techniques, and personalized adjustments tailored to your specific hearing needs. Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, we take the time to understand how you live, work, and interact in Upstate California’s diverse environments—from quiet mountain retreats to bustling community events.

The Fitting Process: What to Expect

Our fitting process begins with a thorough discussion of your hearing test results and lifestyle needs. We’ll explain how your selected hearing aids work and demonstrate their features before carefully fitting them to your ears. Using state-of-the-art verification tools like Real Ear Measurement, we ensure your devices deliver the precise amplification you need across all frequencies.

During your fitting appointment, we’ll guide you through proper insertion, removal, and daily care routines. You’ll have plenty of time to practice these skills and ask questions in our supportive environment.

We understand that adapting to new hearing aids takes time, so we’ll provide clear expectations about the adjustment period and what sensations are normal as your brain adapts to hearing sounds it may not have processed in years.

Comprehensive Follow-Up Care

Personalized Adjustments

The initial fitting is just the beginning of our relationship. Most hearing aid users require fine-tuning as they adjust to their devices. Our “Care for Life” guarantee means we’re here for follow-up adjustments whenever needed. Whether you’re experiencing feedback issues or need settings optimized for specific environments like Upstate California’s outdoor activities, our team is ready to help.

Ongoing Support

Our commitment extends beyond technical adjustments. We provide education on maximizing your hearing aid benefits in different listening situations. From streaming phone calls to managing background noise in restaurants, we’ll ensure you feel confident using your devices in all settings.

Technology Updates

Hearing technology evolves rapidly, and our team stays current with the latest advancements. During regular check-ups, we’ll assess whether your current devices are still meeting your needs or if new features might further enhance your hearing experience.

Your Questions Answered

Frequently asked questions

We understand you may have questions about hearing health, treatment options, and what to expect from your visit. Our team has compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you feel informed and confident about your hearing care journey with UpState Hearing Instruments.

Our comprehensive fitting process includes a thorough discussion of your hearing test results, explanation of your selected hearing aids, precision measurements, advanced verification techniques like Real Ear Measurement, and personalized adjustments tailored to your specific hearing needs. We also provide guidance on insertion, removal, and daily care routines, ensuring you leave feeling confident with your new devices.

The adjustment period varies for each individual, but typically takes 2-4 weeks. During this time, your brain is relearning to process sounds it may not have heard in years. Some sounds may seem unusually loud or unnatural at first. Our follow-up care ensures we can make adjustments as needed during this adaptation period to optimize your comfort and hearing experience.

Our exclusive 14-day test drive program allows you to experience better hearing with no deposit, contract, or commitment. This risk-free opportunity lets you test hearing aids in your everyday environments across Upstate California before making an investment. You can evaluate how the devices perform in your home, workplace, favorite restaurants, or outdoor activities to ensure they truly meet your needs.

Most clients benefit from 2-3 follow-up appointments in the first month after fitting. Our "Care for Life" guarantee ensures ongoing support whenever you need adjustments. We typically recommend routine check-ups every 3-6 months during the first year and annually thereafter, though you're welcome to schedule additional appointments anytime your hearing needs change.

Absolutely! We specialize in optimizing hearing aids for the diverse environments found throughout Upstate California. Whether you need settings for quiet mountain retreats, bustling community events, or outdoor activities like hiking and fishing, our specialists can program custom settings for these specific scenarios. We understand local lifestyle needs and tailor your technology accordingly.

We utilize state-of-the-art verification tools, with Real Ear Measurement (REM) being our primary method. REM uses a tiny microphone placed in your ear canal to measure exactly what sounds your hearing aid delivers, ensuring it matches your prescription precisely. We also conduct speech mapping tests to verify clarity of speech and perform physical comfort checks to ensure the devices fit properly.

Yes, our comprehensive hearing aid fitting and follow-up services are available at all five of our locations—Redding, Chico, Red Bluff, Susanville, and Weaverville. Each office is staffed with experienced hearing specialists who provide the same high standard of care, making quality hearing healthcare accessible throughout Upstate California.

Your satisfaction is our priority. If you're not completely happy with your hearing aids after the initial fitting, we'll work with you through adjustments and counseling to address your concerns. Most issues can be resolved with proper fine-tuning. If you participate in our 14-day test drive and decide the hearing aids aren't right for you, you can return them without financial obligation.

Signs that your hearing aids may need adjustment include: persistent discomfort, feedback (whistling sounds), difficulty hearing in certain environments, voices sounding unnatural, or if you're still turning up the TV volume. Any time you feel your hearing aids aren't performing optimally, we encourage you to contact us for an adjustment appointment covered under our "Care for Life" guarantee.

Yes, we provide comprehensive education on maximizing all features of your hearing aids. From streaming phone calls and connecting to smart devices to managing background noise in restaurants and adjusting settings for different environments, our team ensures you feel confident using your technology. We offer both one-on-one training during appointments and periodic group workshops for continuing education.
