New here, trying to find answers I can't find elsewhere. Resound products, Nexia 9 with disposable size 13 batteries. I have all the software and hardware to connect, already sucessfully saved my settings.

Do, generic question, basically for any brand or level. If you went into an office type environment, not too loud but hollow with hard surfaces, and the hearing aids responed by getting overly loud, which settings would you look to first?

I don't want to mess with the gain adjustments as I have had REM fitting and I'm pretty satisfied with how I hear. I think the answer will be in the environmental optimizer page or advanced features speech or comfort pages.
 
I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - I have never worn modern ReSound HAs models. Just the legacy models that don't work very well.

A recent personal experience for me is the automatic clarity provided by a new technology → AI DNN/Deep Neural Network. AFAIK, only 3 of the Big-5 manufacturers have implemented this technology. Last week (at a medical appointment) I sat in a large waiting room;
  • I sat against the back wall facing four receptionists behind plexiglass panels
  • with maybe a dozen patients, some on my side, some in front of me (between me and the receptionists)
I could hear everything crystal clear, the receptionist, everyone around me. It felt like I was eavesdropping.

I know this doesn't answer your question. I am just suggesting that if you have an opportunity to experience a free-trial of this technology then take advantage of the opportunity.
 
pvc,

Unfortuantly I can only afford what I have. It would be glorious to partake of the finer thngs, but alas, I'm going to have to work with what I have.

Surely there must be someone with Resound Smart Fit knowledge?
 
We don't know anything your hearing loss/Audiogram (see my Signature for an example). Have you tried adjustments via the ReSound Smart 3D App?

The Smart 3D app offers various functionalities. Users can switch between programs, access accessories, and utilize filters for noise and speech clarity. They can adjust volume levels individually or simultaneously for both ears and utilize the Sound Enhancer, which includes a three-band equalizer for audio adjustments, applicable to streaming as well. Additional features such as noise and wind noise reduction can also be adjusted.

Not sure how to link the audiogram, but here is what I have.

Oh, a cookie bite hearing loss is difficult to fit. Here's a → generic description link that simply says;

Cookie-bite hearing loss is another name for mid-range hearing loss, which means a person struggles to hear in the "middle" frequencies of sound.
Most speech and music are in this range, so cookie-bite hearing loss can affect the ability to communicate and enjoy music.

One more question, do you mean incredibly loud like a train whistle at a RR/Crossing or just annoyingly loud? Not that I will know how to fix it? I just wanted to understand the loudness level. I can load up the SmartFit software and poke around the Help files. You can also do this, Feature Demonstrations are available from the Help menu. The demonstrations typically include both text and short videos. Here's some links;
