I found a post from Dr. Abram Bailey (owner of this forum) back in Sep’20 about the APP 1 just when it came out. The presentation he did was actually excellent, I think. Based on his data provided, I think he was able to prove that the APP1 definitely performs different when the audiogram is loaded into the iPhone, so I guess I’m going to have to eat my words that I thought the Transparency mode didn’t load the audiogram.
He did a couple of test audiograms. The first audiogram is a normal typical ski slope and the second audiogram is a reverse ski slope where the lows are a big loss. With both test audiograms, he showed that the Transparency mode compensation using the audiogram is inadequate, even after the ad-hoc adjustments he had to do in the customization page. Without the ad-hoc adjustments, the Transparency compensation seems to be nowhere adequate.
