Hearing Aids & Fitting
Hearing Aids & Professional Care
Modern hearing aids are sophisticated medical devices — but technology alone isn't enough. Every fitting at Yu Audiology includes real-ear measurement, the clinical gold standard for accurate results.
Clinical Standard — Included on Every Fitting
Factory settings are made for an average ear. Real-ear measurement verifies your hearing aids are delivering the precise prescription your hearing requires — using a tiny probe microphone placed in your ear canal.
Hearing Aid Styles
Ask us which style suits your hearing loss and lifestyle.
Receiver-in-Canal
Slim and discreet. Most popular style. Suitable for mild to severe hearing loss. Bluetooth-enabled.
Behind-the-Ear
Powerful and durable. Best for severe to profound hearing loss or those who need easier handling.
In-the-Ear
Custom-molded to fit your ear. Good for mild to moderately severe hearing loss. A great option for those with dexterity concerns or who prefer no device worn over the ear.
Nearly Invisible
Sits deep in the canal, virtually unseen. For mild to moderate hearing loss with cosmetic concerns.

Protection
Custom Ear Protection & Molds
Off-the-shelf earplugs compromise between fit and function. Custom products are molded precisely to your ears — so they stay in, seal properly, and actually get worn.
| Noise / Occupational | Noise Protection | For loud work environments, shooting ranges, or sustained high-volume exposure. |
| Musician | Musician Earplugs | Reduce volume evenly across frequencies so music still sounds like music — just quieter. |
| Swimming | Swimming Plugs | Keeps water out of the ear canal — ideal after ear surgery or for those prone to swimmer's ear. |
| Sleep | Sleep Plugs | Low-profile and comfortable enough to wear lying down — better than foam for regular use. |
| Hearing Aids | Custom Ear Molds | For hearing aids that feel loose or aren't capturing enough sound — particularly helpful for severe to profound hearing loss where a secure seal matters most. |
A quick, painless in-office impression of both ear canals — takes about 10 minutes.
Impressions are shipped to the lab, where your molds or plugs are custom fabricated to your exact anatomy.
We'll notify you when they arrive and go over fit and care instructions at pickup.
All custom ear products generally start at $200 — final cost varies by style and lab. Private pay only. Contact us for a more specific estimate before scheduling.
