Hearing Assessment, Hearing Aids & Personalised Fitting

At Sarthak Hearing Care, the process can include hearing assessment, hearing aid consultation, trial, fitting, programming and follow-up care. The aim is to help patients and families understand their options and select hearing support that fits their hearing requirements, communication needs and everyday lifestyle.

With clinics serving Shahdara, Rishabh Vihar and Gagan Vihar, Sarthak Hearing Care provides hearing and audiology services across East Delhi.

Do You Need a Hearing Assessment First?

Yes. A hearing assessment is an important starting point when someone is experiencing difficulty hearing.

You may notice signs such as:

Frequently asking people to repeat themselves

Increasing the television volume

Difficulty understanding speech in restaurants or family gatherings

Missing parts of conversations

Difficulty hearing softer voices

Feeling that people are speaking unclearly

A hearing assessment helps establish the person's hearing profile. It can then guide the discussion about whether hearing aids or another form of hearing support may be appropriate.

What Happens After the Hearing Test?

A hearing assessment is not automatically a commitment to purchase a hearing aid.

If hearing support is appropriate, the next step can be a hearing aid consultation. During this stage, the clinician can discuss suitable styles, features and practical considerations based on the individual's hearing and lifestyle.

The process can then move through several stages:

1. Hearing Aid Consultation

The available options are discussed according to the person's hearing requirements, daily listening environments and preferences.

2. Hearing Aid Trial

A trial allows the patient to experience a suitable device before making a final decision. This can be particularly useful when comparing different hearing aid styles or technology levels.

3. Physical Fitting

The hearing aid needs to sit appropriately and comfortably. Depending on the type of device, fitting may involve selecting suitable domes, earmoulds or other components.

4. Programming and Fine-Tuning

A hearing aid is programmed according to the individual's hearing profile. Adjustments may be needed after the patient starts using the device and provides feedback about different listening situations.

5. Follow-Up Care

Follow-up is an important part of hearing aid use. Changes in hearing, listening environments, comfort or personal preferences may mean that further adjustments are useful.

This is why hearing aid care should not be viewed as a one-time purchase.

Which Hearing Aid Is Right for You?

There is no single hearing aid style that is suitable for everyone.

Depending on the hearing assessment and individual requirements, options may include:

BTE hearing aids

RIC hearing aids

ITE hearing aids

Invisible or CIC-style hearing aids

Rechargeable hearing aids

Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids

Sarthak Hearing Care provides access to hearing aid brands including Phonak, Signia, Oticon, Widex, ReSound, Starkey, Unitron, Bernafon and Rexton.

The exact models, features and availability can vary, so the appropriate option should be discussed during consultation.

How Much Do Hearing Aids Cost in Delhi?

Hearing aid pricing varies considerably according to style, technology, features and configuration.

At Sarthak Hearing Care, hearing aids start from approximately ₹5,000, with options extending across different levels of technology.

Rather than selecting a hearing aid only by price, it is useful to consider the person's actual hearing requirements and the environments where they need to communicate.

A consultation can help you understand which options are relevant before making a purchase decision.

Hearing Aid Support Beyond the Initial Fitting

Some users stop wearing hearing aids because the device feels uncomfortable, sounds unusual, whistles or does not seem useful in particular situations.

These issues do not necessarily mean that the hearing aid is unsuitable.

Programming, fine-tuning, fitting adjustments and follow-up visits can help address concerns such as:

Sound feeling too loud or too soft

Feedback or whistling

Physical discomfort

Difficulty managing different listening environments

Changes in hearing needs

Difficulty using or maintaining the device

If you already have a hearing aid from another provider and need professional adjustment or support, you can also discuss your requirement with the clinic.

Hearing Care for Adults, Seniors and Children

Hearing concerns can affect people at different stages of life.

Sarthak Hearing Care provides hearing assessment and audiology support for adults and senior citizens, along with pediatric hearing assessment for children when clinically appropriate.

For an elderly parent, a hearing assessment can help families understand whether difficulty following conversations may be related to hearing. For a child, hearing assessment can be an important part of understanding communication or speech concerns.

The right assessment depends on the person's age, symptoms and communication needs.
