Why We Fit Seven Brands, Not One
We work with Phonak, Widex, Oticon, ReSound, Signia, Starkey and Unitron — seven manufacturers, not one, and that changes the outcome more than any single feature does. The right device depends on four things that are yours alone: the shape of your audiogram, the anatomy of your ears, your dexterity, and what you actually need to hear — a teacher in a classroom all day and someone who lives alone and watches television are not solving the same problem.
A clinic tied to a single brand can only recommend that brand. That doesn't make it dishonest; it makes it unable to tell you when something else would serve you better. With seven, the recommendation can come from your audiogram instead of a catalog.
Our Hearing Aid Fitting Process
Every hearing aid fitting begins with a comprehensive hearing evaluation — fitting without an audiogram is programming blind. Dr. Martinez uses advanced diagnostic equipment to assess your hearing and understand your lifestyle needs. Based on these results, we recommend hearing aids that will provide the best outcomes for your specific situation.
What to Expect During Your Fitting
- Physical fitting to ensure comfort and proper placement
- Real ear measurements for precise programming
- ACT Test (Audible Contrast Threshold) for hearing in noise
- Bluetooth connectivity setup with your smartphone
- Training on care, maintenance, and daily use
- Follow-up appointments for adjustments
Real Ear Measurement: Why It Matters
During the fitting, a thin microphone is placed inside your ear canal to measure how much sound is actually reaching your eardrum at each frequency, and the programming is adjusted until it matches what your hearing loss needs. Without this step, a hearing aid runs on the manufacturer's factory settings — calculated for an average ear that isn't yours.
The First Few Weeks Are Strange, and That's Normal
Your brain has gone years without certain sounds and has to relearn them. At first your own voice sounds different, the refrigerator makes a noise you had forgotten, and paper is surprisingly loud. Most people adjust within a few weeks, and that is exactly what the follow-up visits are for: fine-tuning the programming while it happens, not leaving you alone with the device.
30-Day Trial and Warranty
Movac offers a 30-day hearing-aid trial with no-questions-asked reimbursement when devices are returned within the trial period. Manufacturer warranty coverage ranges from 12 to 39 months, depending on the selected technology level. Review the written trial and warranty terms provided with your purchase.
Hearing Aid Repairs and Reprogramming in Weston
We repair and reprogram hearing aids fitted elsewhere. Call (754) 290-3270 with your brand, model and concern so we can discuss service options before you travel to the clinic.
- Bring: your hearing aids, charger or batteries, and any warranty or previous service information.
- Describe: whether the problem affects one or both devices, when it started and whether it involves sound, charging, comfort or Bluetooth pairing.
- Ask: about repair options, warranty coverage, the expected turnaround and whether manufacturer service is needed. Timing depends on the device and problem.
Charge or batteries, wax filters, molds or domes, tubing and phone connections are useful topics to discuss. Follow the care instructions for your model, and ask us to demonstrate any maintenance step you are unsure about.
If your hearing suddenly changes, seek medical care immediately instead of waiting for a routine device repair. NIDCD explains why sudden hearing loss is a medical emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do hearing aids last?
Most quality hearing aids last about 4 to 6 years with proper care. Lifespan depends on the device, how often it is worn, and maintenance. Regular professional cleanings and check-ups help you get the most out of them.
How long does it take to get used to new hearing aids?
Most people adjust within a few weeks as the brain relearns sounds it has been missing. We schedule follow-up visits to fine-tune the programming and make the transition as comfortable as possible.
Can hearing aids connect to my smartphone?
Yes. Most modern hearing aids from Phonak, Widex, Oticon, ReSound, Signia, Starkey and Unitron offer Bluetooth, so you can stream phone calls, music, and other audio directly to your devices.
What is a real ear measurement and why does it matter?
A real ear measurement verifies that your hearing aids deliver the correct amount of sound at each pitch inside your ear canal. It is a best-practice step that ensures your devices are programmed accurately for your specific hearing loss.
Does insurance cover hearing aids?
We accept more than 25 plans, including most Medicare Advantage plans, Florida Medicaid and major commercial plans. Hearing aid coverage varies by plan, so contact us to verify your specific benefits.
What trial and warranty come with hearing aids?
Movac offers a 30-day hearing-aid trial with no-questions-asked reimbursement when devices are returned within the trial period. Manufacturer warranty coverage ranges from 12 to 39 months, depending on the selected technology level. Review the written terms provided with your purchase.
Is hearing-aid financing available?
CareCredit financing may be available to qualified applicants. Ask us about current options and review the specific CareCredit terms before applying. CareCredit is issued by Synchrony Bank, not Movac Hearing.
This page is general information about hearing aids. It is not medical advice or a diagnosis. Which device is right for you, if any, depends on your hearing, your history, and your circumstances — which is what an evaluation is for. Insurance coverage varies by plan and year, and is confirmed by verifying it.
