It's Not You - The Real Reason Hearing Aids Don't Work
Still struggling to hear conversations in noisy places—even after investing in "premium" hearing aids? You're not alone, and it's not your fault.
In this episode of All Ears: The Hearing & Tinnitus Podcast, Dr. Layne Garrett, audiologist at Timpanogos Hearing & Tinnitus in American Fork, Utah, exposes the most common reason hearing aids fail—and the one simple step that can make all the difference.
It's called Real Ear Measurement (REM), and it's the gold standard for hearing aid fittings recommended by every major audiology organization. Shockingly, fewer than one in three clinics perform it regularly. Without it, your provider is simply guessing how your hearing aids will perform in your ears.
Dr. Garrett explains why most people don't need new hearing aids—they need properly fitted ones. He also shares four essential questions to ask before you buy or upgrade, so you never waste money again.
If you're in **Utah County—American Fork, Lehi, Spanish Fork, or Provo—**this episode will help you take control of your hearing journey and finally get results that last.
🔍 Quick Answers from Dr. Layne Garrett (AI Snippets)
