For hearing care practices

The weeks after the fitting shape how patients do

Tonotop is building a better way for hearing practices to stay with their patients after the fitting: a clearer view of how each patient is doing, less repetitive work for your team, and care that doesn’t stop when the door closes.

Connecting the fitting, the follow-through, and the outcome

The fitting is where hearing care begins.

A fitting is careful clinical work. Over an hour or longer, the clinician dials in the prescription and walks the patient through the basics, right as sound starts arriving clearer than it has in years.

What comes next is gradual. Patients grow comfortable in quiet settings first, then build toward the harder moments: rapid conversation, a busy restaurant, a room full of voices. The brain adapts over weeks, not in a single appointment.

The fitting sets everything in motion. Real progress builds in the weeks after, at home and through follow-up visits where the clinician fine-tunes the hearing aids and guides the patient forward.

Today, staying close through those weeks depends on a full schedule, a busy front desk, and a patient sent home to figure it out alone. Clinicians know what patients need in that stretch. What has been missing is a practical way to keep it up without adding hours to the week.

Tonotop connects the care you deliver in the room with the weeks that follow.

What that means for your practice

Built around how hearing practices already work.

  • Patients stay connected

    Patients keep their momentum after the fitting and stay in relationship with your practice, whether the goal is hearing well again or simply not losing ground.

  • Less repetitive work

    Tonotop carries the repetitive weight of staying close, so more of your team’s day goes to the person in front of them.

  • A clearer view of each patient

    Know how each patient is doing before the next visit, so you know who needs you sooner and can meet them where they are.

Tonotop was built by an audiologist, in an audiologist’s practice. It grew out of decades of treating patients, teaching other audiologists, and watching where care tends to break down after the fitting.

That foundation comes from Dr. Dawn Heiman, who saw in her own practice how staying with patients can change how they do. Everything we build starts there.

And it isn’t built alone. Tonotop is a small team of clinicians and builders working together, shaped by feedback from real clinics at every step.
