You should be able to get a printout of the test results so wherever you go they can use these results to program the hearing aids. NOTE: IMHO, you will need to go back or adjust your hearing aids (with your phone) to get optimal results. Sorry I could not answer your question, however I am due for new hearing aids, so I may try this in the near future.
Dr. Waldo is AWESOME.

I got my hearing aides right at the Villages Health, from Dr. Waldo. Wore the demos for 60 days (programmed for me at half-power, then 3/4 power) to try them out and learn how to hear again, and then when we were both satisfied they were the right ones, she ordered my own pair.

She honored the price that I found online from a discount place, so that shaved around $800 off for the pair.
