A few things to explain

[CichaWoda]

Good day everyone, I have new phonak naida L 70UP and noahlink wireless 2 and phonak target 10.0.1 hearing aids.

They were currently adjusted by my hearing care professional and audiologist at the same time. Overall, it is much better than in my previous phonak naida Q 50UP hearing aids.

But I would like to improve a few things on my own, because I don't want to go to a different city to my hearing care professional every time with some trivial thing and bother him.

Before that, I would like to know a few things and would be grateful for some clarification on a few things.

I have no problems with the phonak target 10 program itself, but I have no knowledge of the fitting formula. What is it and how do they differ:

- DSL [i/o] (I tested it and it's out, I don't like it)
- DSL v5a adult (I tested it and it's out, I don't like it)
- DSL v5a pedriatic (I haven't tested it)
- NAL-NL1 (I haven't tested it)
- NAL-NL 2 (I'm testing it)
- NAL-NL 2 tonal (I haven't tested it)
- Adaptive Phonak Digital 2.0 (I'm currently on it)
- Adaptive Phonak Digital Contrast 2.0 (I haven't tested it)

I know what occlusion compression is and what it's about. As for compression, I'm currently on Prescribed compression but there's also semi linear and linear. On Prescribed compression I understand speech better when I watch YouTube or other things but on Linear I have a more natural sound and I don't know how to describe it? It's not as compressed as in Prescribed compression but I understand speech a bit worse.

So for work, meetings with friends or watching movies I use Prescribed compression and for listening to music or concerts I use Linear, but is such constant switching safe for the hearing aids?

Another thing is Fine tuning and while I am able to change the settings of each program or Bluetooth settings, I need information about MPO and what G80, G65, G50 mean and what CR means under the table.
Because generally I know that G80 means loud sounds and G50 quiet sounds and G65 sounds of medium volume. In turn, from 170 to 9k6 is a range of sounds where 170 is low bass and 9k6 is high treble etc. And I guess that each square with a value is responsible for some range of sound, but more precisely what sounds are these?

Pfft; That's a lot to unpack! And it depends a lot on your hearing loss which I suspect is severe/profound based on the hearing aids models you are wearing. First off, I am not a professional and therefore I will not make any specific recommendations for changing these settings!!

But maybe we can help each other understand the settings? As I think that I understand compression; A normal range of hearing (on the left in the red-colored image below) can be compressed to make it fit into your remaining range of hearing (on the right of this image below). But it can only work if you have some remaining range of hearing, to receive the compressed range of sound. Those who do, are usually not interested in changing these settings. Those who don't are interested in changing these settings. But it gets complicated and even dangerous.

Here's a → Link to a Post from Mr UB which may provide some information about changing these settings to be more linear.
But also with a warning that it could result in long term damage to your hearing!
