Choosing the Right Probe Tube for Real-Ear Measurement (REM)
Real-Ear Measurement (REM) plays a vital role in verifying hearing aid fittings—ensuring patients receive the precise amplification they need. One of the most common questions our Hearsound Technology support team hears is:
“Which probe tube is compatible with my REM system?”
To help clinicians make confident choices, here’s a breakdown of probe tube selection, usage tips, and signs of mismatch.

To help clinicians make confident choices, here’s a breakdown of probe tube selection, usage tips, and signs of mismatch.
Selecting the right probe tube for Real-Ear Measurement (REM) is essential for accurate hearing aid fittings. Before purchasing replacement tubes, always verify system compatibility and inspect each tube for cracks, wear, or damage.
If your clinic uses multiple REM systems, it’s wise to keep a variety of tube types on hand, and when in doubt, consult your system manufacturer directly. Using the wrong probe tube can lead to calibration errors, loose or mismatched connectors, inconsistent measurement results, patient discomfort during insertion, bending or kinking that prevents proper placement, low SPL readings, or visible tube damage.
Choosing the correct tube matters because accuracy in placement ensures reliable sound pressure level readings, compatibility reduces patient irritation, and system-specific tubes guarantee consistent results across sessions.
At Hearsound Technology, we provide a wide range of audiology essentials—from probe tubes and ear tips to impression materials—so your clinic stays stocked and your fittings remain precise. If you need guidance on selecting the right probe tube, our team is always ready to support your workflow and your patients
