Have installed Genie and bought Noahlink wireless 2. Have read a few files from PVC DIY. Have created a couple of dummies in the software (to revert back) as original setting - incase anything goes wrong. Have watch the video from "Brian" but could not understand much. What the Audiology courses to read in order to start the DIY process. Can anyone helps?
If you did not understand Brian's hearsuite video, that tells me you may not have a science foundation in acoustics perhaps ?
Without you being specific, no way to provide recommendations. The audiological manufactures training is focused on how to use their tools and not science behind it.
You may need foundational courses prior to fitting courses? No way to know without more info?
I understood Brian's video fully and wanted more. I tuned 9050's better than Costco's poor fit model in a few days time, just by experimenting with settings and not adjusting curves. Although I did chsnge domes and turn off feedback manager to gain lost curve, and fix a sibilance problem at 4.5 K
That said, I had experience from room corrrection of my home theater.
Interestingly I just returned Costco hearing aid because manager would not use 100db receiver required by Philips Hearsuite to fit my left ear loss. Below 3000hz was no where bear as loud with power done as right ear eith open domes.
Further above 3000 Hz in left ear was dead.
I showed her Printout showing above 3000 hz not fitted in left with ger 85db receiver, but was with 100db. Both with power domes.
She refused to install 100db receiver software recomnended and said Costco has their own way.
Basically my left ear was a dead zone before and after Codtco fitting. With power done, actually worse because no batural sounds.
She really got her psnties in a wad and said she would not service my aids if I chsnged settings at all.
After more thanna dozen trips over 8 months where Costco continued to ignore fitti g problems, I made her refund purchase since she refusing to service my aids that I own, because I fixed a lot of her not willing to ensure aids. set up properly.
I have ski slope loss, much worse in left. Right was not perfect but not severe at high frequencies.
Left is severe to profound above 4K. I also showed her insitu test where at her tested 85db loss at 4K, I could not hear test tone. But with test tone at 100db I heard 4K tone.
Also showed her tone generator tests supportibg no correction above 3K
So avoid Costco for anything beyond cook book mild to nsy e moderate loss.
They do not have skills, training or corporate model to handle more.
But I learned a lot and now have a long list of questions to ask audiologist at first condult, when shopping for one that is ok with DIY tweaks and understands ptoblem and provides recommendations I know will help.
No Pain No Gain as thety say!
