Can You Receive Hearing Aids in One Visit?
In some cases, an adult patient can be evaluated, fitted and leave Colorado Hearing with prescription hearing aids during the same visit. We keep select hearing aids in stock that can be programmed when the technology, physical fit and patient’s hearing needs are compatible.
A same-day or one-hour fitting is not possible for everyone, and it is never more important than getting the fit and programming right. Call 970-318-2010 to ask about current availability and schedule your hearing evaluation in Montrose, Colorado.
When a Same-Day Hearing-Aid Fitting May Be Possible
The possibility of receiving hearing aids during your first visit depends on several factors, including:
- Your hearing evaluation results
- The type and extent of your hearing loss
- The hearing-aid style appropriate for your ears
- Your technology and listening needs
- Compatible devices currently available in the clinic
- Whether custom earmolds or other ordered components are required
If an appropriate device is available, Brian Bennett, BC-HIS, may be able to program, fit and verify it during the same appointment. If a custom product or different technology is needed, we will explain the available options and expected timeline.
What Happens During the Appointment?
Fast service should not mean skipping the steps required for a careful fitting. A same-day appointment may include:
- A discussion of your hearing concerns, lifestyle and budget
- A comprehensive adult hearing evaluation
- A review of your results and treatment options
- Selection of appropriate prescription hearing technology
- Programming based on your hearing evaluation
- Physical-fit and comfort adjustments
- Real-ear or in-situ verification when appropriate
- Instructions for wearing, charging and caring for your hearing aids
The amount of time required varies. We will take the time needed to help you understand your hearing aids and use them comfortably.
Personalized Programming Matters
A hearing aid should not simply make every sound louder. It must be programmed around your hearing thresholds, speech understanding and real-world listening challenges.
Brian Bennett has performed more than 10,000 hearing-aid programming, adjustment and reprogramming services. He can refine devices for speech clarity, background noise, familiar voices and other listening situations that matter to you.

Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Colorado Hearing offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee on the hearing aids we provide. We want you to feel confident that your devices have been selected, fitted and programmed around your needs.
Before treatment begins, our team will explain the guarantee, trial period and follow-up care included with your hearing aids.
Your Care Continues After the First Fitting
The first appointment is the beginning of the fitting process, not the end. Your perception of sound can change as you become accustomed to hearing more, and adjustments may be needed as you use the devices in everyday environments.
Patients receive a standard one-week, no-obligation trial. Treatment periods vary by the technology selected, with follow-up care provided as needed. Complete refitting appointments are scheduled at least every six months during an active treatment period.
Frequently Asked Questions About Same-Day Hearing Aids
Can everyone receive hearing aids in one hour?
No. Same-day fitting depends on your hearing needs, ear anatomy, the recommended technology and available inventory. Custom earmolds and certain hearing-aid styles must be ordered.
Do I need a hearing test before receiving hearing aids?
Yes. A hearing evaluation provides the information needed to determine whether prescription hearing aids are appropriate and how they should be programmed.
Does a quick fitting mean less personalized care?
No steps should be skipped simply to meet a one-hour goal. Even when devices are available the same day, they must be selected, programmed and fitted around your individual needs.
Are same-day hearing aids covered by the satisfaction guarantee?
Colorado Hearing offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee on the hearing aids it provides. Our team will explain the applicable terms before your fitting.
Will I need follow-up appointments?
Most patients benefit from follow-up care. Adjustments can improve speech clarity, comfort and performance in the listening environments you encounter after leaving the clinic.
Does Colorado Hearing provide over-the-counter hearing aids?
No. Colorado Hearing focuses on professionally selected, programmed and verified prescription hearing aids for adults.
