A hearing aid should be adjusted to an audible level that allows the person to hear sounds clearly without causing discomfort or damage to remaining hearing capacity. The audible level is the appropriate setting because it ensures that sounds are amplified enough to be perceived by the hearing-impaired individual while remaining within safe parameters. A therapeutic level is not a standard term for hearing aid adjustment, and a prescribed level would be too rigid since hearing needs can vary throughout the day and in different environments. A comfortable level alone might not provide adequate amplification for effective hearing. The audible level represents the optimal balance between providing sufficient amplification for hearing while preventing over-amplification that could cause further hearing damage or discomfort.
