= Real ear measurement
{wiki=Real_ear_measurement}
Real Ear Measurement (REM) is a diagnostic process used in audiology to assess how effectively a hearing aid is amplifying sound for an individual. It involves placing a small microphone in the ear canal alongside the hearing aid and measuring the sound levels produced by the hearing aid in real-time. This measurement allows audiologists to compare the actual output of the hearing aid to the expected or desired amplification levels based on the individual's hearing loss.
