Real Ear Measurement
Real Ear Measurement (REM) is a precise, in-ear verification process that ensures hearing aids are tailored to your specific hearing needs for optimal performance.

Why REM Matters
Real Ear Measurement (REM) is a critical process for ensuring that hearing aids are precisely calibrated to your unique hearing needs, delivering the best possible sound quality and performance.
Real Ear Measurement
Real Ear Measurement (REM) is a precise fitting method we use at Audiology & Hearing Services of Charlotte to ensure your hearing aids are programmed specifically for your unique hearing needs. This sophisticated verification technique uses a tiny microphone placed in your ear canal to measure the exact sound levels your hearing aids deliver while you're wearing them.
The Science Behind Better Hearing
During the measurement, we play various sounds while the microphone records how your hearing aids perform in your ear canal. This allows us to make precise adjustments to your hearing aid settings, ensuring you receive the right amount of amplification across all frequencies. REM takes the guesswork out of hearing aid fittings and provides objective proof that your devices are working as intended.
