Our Process

When You Need a Hearing Aid Prescription

You may need a hearing aid prescription if you are experiencing difficulty hearing conversations, asking people to repeat themselves often, increasing the TV volume, or noticing ringing in your ears. A prescription is also required in Ontario before hearing aids can be dispensed or funded through the Assistive Devices Program (ADP). Our audiologist provides comprehensive hearing assessments and personalized recommendations to help you understand your hearing needs and next steps with confidence.

Why Getting the Right Prescription Matters

Most hearing aid problems are not device problems. They are prescription problems.

No two ears are shaped alike. The same hearing aid programmed identically for two people with the same audiogram will perform differently in each ear because ear canal size and shape change how sound reaches the eardrum. A prescription that skips real ear verification is built on estimates, not on your actual ear.

The result is hearing aids that feel too loud, too flat, too muffled, or simply wrong. Many people live with this for years before finding out it could have been fixed.

At Brilliant Hearing, every prescription is verified. You leave knowing your devices are set to your exact prescription, not a manufacturer’s first-fit default.

What Your Hearing Aid Prescription Includes

Audiogram Review and Prescription Targets

We begin by reviewing your most recent audiogram and setting prescriptive targets using validated formulas, NAL-NL2 or DSL v5, that calculate the exact amplification your hearing needs at each frequency. This is the clinical foundation your prescription is built on.

Hearing Aid Selection and Programming

We select a hearing aid matched to your prescription targets, ear anatomy, lifestyle, and budget. The device is then programmed to your prescription using manufacturer software and adjusted before real ear measurement begins.

Real Ear Measurement (REM)

A small probe microphone is placed gently in your ear canal alongside your hearing aid. We play calibrated sounds and measure exactly how much amplification is reaching your eardrum. We then compare those measurements against your prescription targets and fine-tune until the device matches them. This step is what separates a verified prescription from a guess.

Real Ear Measurement (REM)

Once your prescription is verified, we fit your hearing aids, walk you through how to use and care for them, and schedule follow-up appointments to fine-tune based on real-world feedback. Your prescription is a starting point. We adjust as your brain adapts to better hearing.
