Hi Volusiano, I finally got my audiologist to do a REM fitting for me with my new custom molds and the results don't quite make sense to me. First, I was having quite a bit of feedback with my original custom molds. The feedback margin was eating into the gain curve at the higher frequencies...

Yes. Thank you for your detailed explanation. But my point regarding point 5 is how does REM make use of real life sound scenarios to adjust the gain curve. Real life sound is a mixture of many different frequencies and they probably have an effect on each other, like perhaps one frequency will...

You are right about the EMF levels from cellphones. I have measured my iPhone 7, iPhone 12 and now my iPhone 14 PRO. The radiation is getting stronger as the models get newer. Many of the spikes are multi watts and beyond the max range of my EMF meter. But it is not continuous like Bluetooth...

That's what I thought too, but Volusiano seems to think otherwise, that's why I am confused. He pointed out that my original fitting assumed a double cup rubber tip and the Post-REM used my new mini-mold. I can understand that. But if I take my original setting and do a recalculation after...

Yes, understood. But still unclear on you you consider as pre-REM gain curve.

Thanks for the reply. Let me respond point by point... 1. agreed 2. agreed, but it bypasses the inaccuracies/variances of the HA's amplification profile and the effect of the ear canal. 3. agreed. I took great effort to repeat each tone frequency's up/down volume changes up to 10+ times to make...

I talked to my AUD and she recommended that I uninstall and reinstall the Oticon app on my iPhone. I did that to the Oticon Companion app and still no go. Then I switched back to the old Oticon ON app and now it connects to the hearing aids.

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Sorry that I am still struggling to comprehend. Let me playback what I understand. What you call pre and post REM gain are both measured gains using a mic inside the ear canal. Pre is before adjustments are made to the hearing aids and post is after the...

I am confused. What is pre-REM for you? It is measured? How?

Wouldn't it be fairly simple to go back to the settings of the pre-REM gain values and simply change the ear piece to the same mold and recalculate the gain values to compare to the post-REM ones?

Just did Part 2.

Thanks. Guess I’ll have to wait till I get home. I can get to Genie2 remotely from here, but no connection through Noaklink Wireless.

The Pre-REM curve was the original gain curve I got from the audiologist for my on trial Phonak Audeo. It assumed the double cup rubber tip (forgot the proper term for it). Post-REM is after the audiologist did the REM testing with my on trial Phonak Aideo hearing aids with the mini molds. The...

Also, I just realized that after I did the fitting from scratch using in-situ, I can no longer connect to my hearing aids from my iPhone Oticon Companion app. Also I am not able to changed programs with the long press of the hearing aid button. I checked the iPhone’s...

I always had the micro mold short. The only difference is that the audiologist picked 2.4mm vent and I measured my vent and it is only 1.4mm. So I selected 1.4mm for my fitting. Also no change in receiver size.

I still have trouble with your 2 points. Since in-situ fitting is done using my hearing aids with my dome or mold, isn't the resulting audiogram already has both of these issues already included in the fitting results? I can understand your point if it is regular fitting.

I am traveling and only using my iPhone. I can’t find a link to the profile/signature. But I see media which take me to the Audiogram image directly.

Just did.

Agreed. Good idea.
