Hearing instrument fitters and dispensers measure human hearing, using an audiometer or other means, for the purpose of making selections, adaptations, and/or sales of hearing instruments. They must be able to adapt the hearing instrument to the particular needs of the client. This involves recording and evaluating audiograms and taking impressions for ear molds to ensure a proper fit. They may replace defective parts, and make adjustments and repairs to the instruments.
