Real ear measurement systems measure the sound output of a hearing aid at the patient’s eardrum, taking the patient’s “real ear” characteristics into account. While REM and LSM are not required tests, it is recommended and can prove extremely beneficial for ensuring patients receive the perfect fit from their hearing aids.
Speech Mapping, also known as live speech mapping, is proven to provide extremely accurate verification of what a hearing instrument is actually delivering in amplification to a specific patient’s TM with their reduced dynamic hearing range. It is a true measurement of insitu hearing instrument performance and not based on formulas, averages or predictions.
Real ear measurement and live speech mapping (REM/LSM) systems help hearing care professionals (HCPs) fit patients with hearing aids. Testing with real ear equipment ensures that the patient gets the proper amplification from their hearing instrument. Standards for Hearing Aid Verification Systems U.S. standards for Real Ear systems are outlined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) S3.46. International requirements are listed under the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 61669.

FAQs
Where is the hearing clinic?
Do I have to bring any paperwork?

What can I expect?
When you come in for a hearing evaluation for your compensation and pension evaluation, we will have you fill out the above document to get a clear understanding of your hearing health history as it relates to your military experience. The audiologist will have reviewed your military medical records and most recent pertinent medical files. Next, we will perform the full hearing evaluation, including pure tone thresholds via air and bone conduction, speech testing, and the tympanometry and acoustic reflexes. The audiologist will not be able to go over the results with you at the end of this test. We will be sending a report to the VA with our results as well as your report of hearing health.
Can I get a copy of my results?
Our relationship with the VA Contractors mandate that we not reveal the results of your hearing evaluation to you via written or verbal communication at the time of your appointment. However, these results will be available as part of your VA Medical Records after your claim has been completed through the VA. This is available by contacting the VA release of information department (202)745-8341.
