Hervey Bay Hearing Aid Fitting
At Clayton Hearing in Hervey Bay, we take the time to get hearing aid fittings right—because a hearing aid is only as good as its fit.
A proper hearing aid fitting ensures your device delivers clear, balanced sound without discomfort or constant adjustments. It’s about more than switching the device on—it’s about how it works with your hearing, your routine, and your environment.
We guide you through the entire process, from selecting the right device to adjusting its settings based on your real-world experience.
During the fitting, we fine-tune your hearing aid using both your test results and your feedback. This helps us match the device to your listening environments and personal preferences.
Some clients also choose to pair their fitting with a hearing test or return after aural rehabilitation to get the most from their device over time. The goal is simple: to make your hearing aid feel natural, effective, and easy to use. To book a fitting or learn more, call 07 4184 2043.

What to Expect at Your Fitting
We start by reviewing your recent hearing test results and discussing your hearing goals—whether you're aiming to hear better in conversation, reduce background noise, or feel more confident in social settings.
Based on this, we program your hearing aid to match your hearing profile. You’ll try the device while we make real-time adjustments to optimise clarity, volume, and comfort.
The fitting also includes time to get used to the physical feel of the hearing aid. We’ll show you how to insert and remove it, and how to clean and care for it at home.
If you’re using a rechargeable model, we’ll demonstrate how to use the charging system. Everyone adjusts at their own pace—some people adapt quickly, while others need more time and small changes along the way.
We also discuss follow-up appointments. These allow us to track your progress and make refinements based on how the hearing aid performs in your everyday life.
Whether it’s your first device or you're upgrading, a proper fitting supports long-term comfort and confidence. Combined with repairs and maintenance, a good fit leads to better hearing outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a hearing aid fitting?
A hearing aid fitting involves programming the device based on your hearing test and personal preferences. The provider adjusts volume, clarity, and comfort levels while you wear the device. You’ll also learn how to insert, remove, and care for it. Some fittings require follow-up visits to fine-tune settings after you’ve had time to use the aid in daily life.
Do hearing aids work straight away?
Yes, you’ll be able to hear sound immediately, but it may take time to adjust to the new clarity and amplification. Sounds may seem strange or too sharp at first, especially if you haven’t heard them for a while. That’s why fittings often include follow-up visits to fine-tune the settings as your brain adapts to hearing those sounds again.
Can hearing aids be adjusted later?
Yes, modern hearing aids can be adjusted as often as needed. If your hearing changes, if the sound isn’t quite right, or if you’re in different environments regularly, adjustments can help improve performance. Many devices allow for remote programming or in-clinic updates. Regular check-ins are common during the early weeks of wearing a new hearing aid.
Do I need follow-ups after a hearing aid fitting?
Yes, follow-up appointments are a normal part of the fitting process. They allow your provider to fine-tune settings based on your real-world experience. You may need small adjustments as you get used to the device or move between different environments. Follow-ups also give you a chance to ask questions and get extra support with cleaning, care, or usage tips.
