A custom fit hearing aid service is specialised process where audiologists take precise ear impressions to manufacture hearing aids tailored to the unique contours of a user's ear canal and outer ear. Rather than simply supplying a device, the clinic delivers a structured fitting process that adapts the hearing aid to the individual’s ears, hearing profile and lifestyle. This service is at the core of professional hearing care and is what transforms hearing aids from standard devices into custom fit hearing aids that feel natural to wear and easy to use.
Yes, hearing aids are fitted at professional hearing clinics. Custom fitting is not a single adjustment but a clinical service that includes assessment, programming, verification and follow-up care.
A hearing clinic’s custom fit service ensures:
Without this service, even advanced hearing technology may not deliver optimal results.
The service begins with a detailed hearing test and ear examination performed by a qualified hearing care professional. This step ensures the fitting is based on accurate clinical data.
If you are being fitted with certain types of hearing aids, such as in-the-ear devices, an ear impression may be taken to ensure a perfect fit. The process usually takes around 10 minutes and allows your hearing aids to be custom-moulded to the shape of your ears.
The hearing aids are programmed specifically for the individual, using professional fitting software. Adjustments are made to prioritise speech clarity while managing background noise.
The clinic checks how the hearing aids sit in the ear. If needed, customised ear tips or earmoulds are used to improve comfort and stability.
Many clinics use clinical verification tools to confirm the hearing aids are delivering the correct amplification. Fine-tuning continues until the wearer feels confident and comfortable.
Custom fitting is carried out by trained hearing care professionals, such as audiologists or hearing specialists, within a hearing clinic.

An open fit hearing aid is a type of hearing aid designed to keep the ear canal partially open, allowing natural sounds to enter the ear while specific frequencies are amplified.
Although open fit hearing aids can feel lighter and more comfortable for some users, they still require a professional fitting service to ensure correct programming, comfort and optimal sound performance.
Our clinics across Australia combine expert care with advanced hearing technology. From your first consultation to aftercare and support, our hearing specialists are committed to helping you maintain healthy hearing and improve your daily life.
