I will supplement a few more things to what @pvc has already explained above. The fact that you need an amplification at 40 dB to be able to trigger your hearing at 1 KHz, for example, only makes your threshold hearing level to be at 40 dB, meaning that if there is an input signal at 5 dB, for...

I don't know what brand of aids you wear, but I wear Oticon aids, and I find their proprietary VAC+ fitting rationale give me the sound I like the best. I find DSL and NAL-NL2 a bit more harsh (strong on the high ends), which is useful when I'm a challenging situation to understand speech...

Thanks for sharing. I've used the eBay MBG before and it works. But it's not trivial because you have to work through the process and this involves waiting for the Seller to respond which can take some time, then for eBay to make a decision, etc. Also a similar hassle for the credit card...

It looks like riotenergy.com took over the production of the ZPower batteries size 312 and has been selling them officially, although they're out of stock at the moment. But they don't seem to be OEM'ing the whole ZPower systems to HA mfgs anymore. They're probably just selling the battery...

To the OP, you can try a BT dongle that would connect to the TV's audio plug, or a USB-based dongle, assuming that your TV supports routing audio to the USB port somehow. But you'll probably find some latency with these external dongles. It all depends on whether you find the latency...

If your More 2 aids are still within the 3 year warranty, I wouldn't put up with it, but would contact your HCP and ask for a pair of replacement batteries under warranty. At the latest, just before the warranty expires in April 2024, I would ask for a pair of battery replacement.

I assume that you have the OPN S rechargeable version? The original OPN (no S) only has a ZPower rechargeable version, but no Lithium-ion.

Here's a link to a good video on REM as the audi demonstrates it with a live voice in real time. There are plenty more REM videos on YouTube, of course, if you want to view more. But yes, it appears that REM machines are smart enough to do analysis of the spectrum of sounds and chart it out...

Amen to this! I totally agree with this 100%. It's really not worth the time and effort to over-analyze pre and post REM data because there are just too many variables in the mix. As researchers or clinicians or HA mfgs, I'm sure it's worthwhile doing for the sake of learning, and also...

In response to your question in 5, first off, I don't pretend like I know the details of how the REM machine is designed and set up and work, because I don't. I only understand the abstract theory of what REM does and strives to achieve. So anything I say/said is only by deduction and...

The calculated prescribed gain curve is just that, CALCULATED based on ideal conditions with audiogram info, fitting info, and hearing aid model info taken into account. And no ear canal irregularities are taken into account because they vary and they're unknown. Don't forget what REM means ->...

Pre-REM is when after they hook up microphones inside your ear canals with you wearing your hearing aids being turned on and everything. Then they play a bunch of sounds on the speakers in front of you to replicate environmental sounds, like for example replicate speech and noise inside of a...

Yeah, but that would still just be theoretically calculated/prescribed gain curve. It's not necessarily going to match exactly with what you will measure it to be pre-REM. The pre-REM gain curve is the ACTUAL measurement made during the REM process before any adjustment is made to it to get it...

Since it looks like you use different fittings between your pre-REM curves and post-REM curves, there's probably really no point in trying to analyze the differences between them anyway since they're not apple to apple with the only difference being pre to post REM.

What is your receiver size, by the way? You didn't say. Also, I still don't understand the correlation between the pre-REM and post-REM gain curves you showed in the beginning of this thread, and the timing when your HCP set the vent hole to 2.4mm and you changed it to 1.4mm. Was the pre-REM...

I guess it's not worth wondering what happened after your session. Best to wait until you get home to have access to Genie 2 and try to figure things out with Genie 2 available and fix or reset things while you have access to Genie 2. Do note that Genie 2 does store the pairing information of...

Yes, of course in-situ also covers the hearing aid performance as well as the fitting issues, beside the ear canal characteristics. BUT, big but here, there are so many differences and disadvantage with in-situ: 1. In-situ is only a pure tone test in complete silence 2. it only measures the...

Thanks, I can see it now. We still don't know what kind of fitting you had, and what kind you switched to. By looking at your Genie 2 screenshot in the other thread, it looks like you have now switched to MicroMold Short with medium vent? What did you have before this? And what size receiver...

Thanks! You're so thorough! I wrote that post above before I saw your insert about the procedure to include one's audiogram. I've done so for myself. I suggest @nanowiz to do the same.
