Oh, I agree. REM is the necessary second step. But for hearing loss like mine, there’s likely more to be done.
I had my wife come in and talk for awhile so that the audiologist could manually tune for her voice, for example.
This is the reason that I abandoned Costco. I’m paying extra fo this customization from a 25 year veteran.
Did you try Naida Lumity e.g. 90 SP? I know there is no Naida Infinio lineup yet (will be soon), but you could at least check if it would provide better audibility in quiet with soft voices.
If you don’t get the basics, like audibility in quiet, there is a risk of obtaining little to no benefit from “bells and whistles” like StereoZoom 2.0 or Spheric Speech Clarity.

I got my new L90 aid on Tuesday and am very happy so far, I only wear an aid in the right ear as the left is very bad. It is physically larger but still relatively small and that didn’t matter much anyway. It does have more power which partly explains the size I presume. So far I am very happy with it.

I got my Lumity 90, right ear only, Tuesday and so far am very pleased. Just driving home I noticed that the background road noise was far lower than my 5 year old Marvel.

So far though it is good to hear things better rather than annoying. Right off though having full functionality again with working BT…
