Oticon Genie2 - software download?

I see that you have a lot of information. The audiologist did my audiometry on 11 frequencies and I know that Oticon Intent 1 can be set on 24 frequencies. Should I do another audiometry on the 24 frequencies, to benefit from the performance of the device, or is there not a big difference? Thanks in advance!

No, don't worry about measuring your hearing loss for a large-or-very large number of frequencies. PTA/Pure Tone Audiometry testing doesn't use that much granularity. Also each frequency is related to its neighboring frequency in a curve. So the curve stays pretty much the same whether you show many frequencies or show fewer frequencies. Here's is my Audiogram which is linked in the Signature on each of my forum posts when you are logged on.
The Audiogram number of frequencies tested is different from the number of fitting handles shown inside the fitting software. Typically a large number of frequencies shown in the fitting software is related to geographical region of the world. Certain regions/countries got accustomed to viewing a large number of fitting handles (at the same time that manufacturers were bragging on the high number of fitting handles) so the practice of providing a large number of fitting handles still persist in some geographical regions.
Tip: You can change the number of frequencies viewed in most fitting software. And if you want to see the difference for geographical regions, then install the software as a different region, try China!!
