This one-hour appointment includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A meeting with an Audiologist to discuss your hearing health history and your hearing goals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hearing aid measurements taken with a Verifit machine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A thorough check and cleaning of your hearing aids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Necessary adjustments to fine-tune your hearing aids for optimal performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logging your hearing aid info in our EMR system and calling the manufacturer to find out your warranty information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is There a Fee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there is a fee for the Establish Care Appointment. For more details, please contact our Patient Care Concierge, 805-967-4200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Insurance Cover This Transfer of Care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not cover office visits for hearing aid appointments, including the transfer of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Skip the Establish Care Appointment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re always welcome to visit our office for minor hearing aid repairs and cleanings, skipping the Establishing Care Appointment limits the time and resources we can allocate for you. For the best care and service, we recommend scheduling the Establish Care Appointment, as it allows us to thoroughly assess your hearing needs and provide the most personalized care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group content-cta has-border-color has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f5583e5e wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-color:#0074b9;border-width:1px;border-radius:8px;margin-top:1.5rem;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:1.6rem;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:1.6rem;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fd354f1cb197e8c069a57c7e9ef90b30\">Call Hearing Services of Santa Barbara for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-23441af8 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"font-size:clamp(1.25rem, 1.25rem + ((1vw - 0.225rem) * 1.154), 2rem);\"><a href=\"tel:+18059674200\" class=\"phone \"><svg width=\"48\" height=\"48\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<circle cx=\"24\" cy=\"24\" r=\"23.5\" stroke=\"#AD08DB\"\/>\n<path d=\"M18.4478 11H29.8674C31.2184 11 32.3145 12.0918 32.3145 13.4375V34.5625C32.3145 35.9082 31.2184 37 29.8674 37H18.4478C17.0968 37 16.0007 35.9082 16.0007 34.5625V13.4375C16.0007 12.0918 17.0968 11 18.4478 11ZM24.1576 35.375C25.0599 35.375 25.789 34.6488 25.789 33.75C25.789 32.8512 25.0599 32.125 24.1576 32.125C23.2552 32.125 22.5262 32.8512 22.5262 33.75C22.5262 34.6488 23.2552 35.375 24.1576 35.375ZM18.4478 29.8906C18.4478 30.2258 18.7231 30.5 19.0596 30.5H29.2556C29.5921 30.5 29.8674 30.2258 29.8674 29.8906V14.0469C29.8674 13.7117 29.5921 13.4375 29.2556 13.4375H19.0596C18.7231 13.4375 18.4478 13.7117 18.4478 14.0469V29.8906Z\" fill=\"#0074B9\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n <span class=\"phone-number\">(805) 967-4200<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"wp-block-fuel-svg cta-shape desktop-only\" width=\"100%\" viewBox=\"0 0 720 124\" fill=\"none\" data-svg-colors=\"[&quot;#0074B9&quot;]\" style=\"opacity:1;\">\n<path opacity=\"0.15\" d=\"M720 35.4816C720 35.4816 588 7.25662 360 1.06383C132 -5.12895 0 17.7368 0 17.7368V125.405H720L720 35.4816Z\" fill=\"#0074B9\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\n<svg class=\"mobile-only cta-shape\"width=\"100%\" viewBox=\"0 0 328 80\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path opacity=\"0.15\" d=\"M328 16.0297C328 16.0297 267.867 3.27835 164 0.480613C60.1333 -2.31713 0 8.01303 0 8.01303V80.6545H328L328 16.0297Z\" fill=\"#0074B9\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you purchased hearing aids through another clinic or provider and wish to transfer your care to our office, we are happy to welcome new patients.
