Live Speech Mapping – See How you Hear, shows exactly which parts of every day speech you are struggling to hear.
Live speech mapping is the latest innovative approach to hearing aid fitting which uses natural speech to assess a hearing loss. It is also used to show how effective digital hearing aids are in helping you to hear speech with more clarity.
Leightons fully qualified hearing aid audiologists use Live Speech Mapping as part of the Full Hearing Assessment. It’s always recommended that you are accompanied during the Hearing Assessment, as with Live Speech Mapping a family member will be asked to participate by providing a familiar voice from which we create the Live Speech Map.
The Live Speech Map is presented as a simple graphic on a computer screen. This helps to provide a clear “visual” sense of the hearing loss, and the benefits or perhaps the limitations that hearing aids offer in relation to actual speech.
Leightons are confident that using Live Speech Mapping demonstrations enables current hearing aid wearers to gain a better insight into exactly how their hearing aids are performing. Leightons experienced team are on hand to provide expert advice and help adjust digital hearing aids to suit the wearer’s requirements as revealed in the Live Speech Map.
