I don’t understand the question. It’s listing which version of Windows it can work in.
I’m not sure why I get pointed out as “still refuses to” post my audio gram. Who cares anyway? I wasn’t asking for advice when I started this thread, I wanted to join in a discussion about which HAs people with a severe hearing loss find successful for listening to music and I wasn’t seeing a recent thread about that on this forum.
Sorry for my english I’m from central europe…
I dont understand why not works win10 sound panel like this sw. I think Bill Gates hasn’t hearing disease…
What you show for us is great tool to patch the sound-processing stupidity of the windows versions. Have to install all of us to enjoy the headphones especially the hearing loss are different on the sides. (I hope you understand…)
Obviously to post or not post your audiogram is your decision and I respect that decision. However, what works for one person and not another is often highly dependent on their audio profile. Having that information helps each reader to decide how relevant the information is likely to be for them. In short, posting an audiogram makes these threads more useful to many (most?) readers. Thanks for reading this.

Your English is far better than my “central europe” 
Yes it is to wonder. Who knows. I’m not sure ol’ Billy bothers to have that much more say in the goings-on of his company. He still has far more money and paper-worth than he could possibly use in many lifetimes. A while ago I read that his investments are even getting better returns than his company.
Yes I was delighted to find that software. I set it up being guided by my audiogram. I listen to flac files or cd’s through my 2009 top of their line HP laptop computer. Definitely not £300K of audio! But being able to adjust each side accordingly is nice. It’s the only one that I have come to know about so far.
I’m in a condo now so listening through speakers isn’t conducive to having condo neighbors.

Hey, this f.cking awesome!!!
I have Resound Quattros and the music sounds like it is coming from 1/8" speakers.
I recommended it to my friend.
I had a glance at your audiogram and wonder that you need separate control. Both sides are pretty much the same. My right’s a little worse than my left.
Yes, I need a lot. I’m sensitive for this. I hate if it’s not perfect equal both sides what I hear. Little sliding make a lot of enjoy. That’s made some years ago. My left’s a little worse than my right. The headphone isn’t equal the hearing aids. I wanted this software since twenty five years…
This is my quick differential “fitting”. I will do and develop out much more accurated way at weekend with generated pure tones to “reset” my headphones and I will build those to “analogue hearing aids” for listening classical music.
(I’m sorry I can’t explain myself in english as long and deep I wanted to say to you. So again and again… I have to tell you… this sw is fu.king awesome.)
How look is your Equalizer APO screen?
This is my quick first fitting
You know Google Translate right?
But again, your English is just fine.
I don’t know if this is right but whatever.

Shopping around for my first hearing aids, and like the original poster on this thread, I enjoy (or did!) listening to music on my quality Hifi system. Thus finding HAs that work with music is a priority. Also want to enjoy hearing dialogue clearly when watching tv broadcasts or playing DVD films. I am retired, aged 78, and engage in very little social activity, but hearing clear speech when shopping, for example, especially young women who seem to be speaking a foreign language! would be helpful.
Have been recommended Phonak Paradise by the first audiologist I have seen, but am keen to try a Widex HA. Especially since reading a review by Micheal Fremer on his Analogue Planet blog -
Am booked to see an audiologist with a store that retails Widex next week. Will let you know how I get on.
I live in New Zealand, so Costco is not an option for me, and many of the brands named in this forum are not available here.
Oh, I should say that I prefer analogue to digital recordings, do not stream music, own no Bluetooth devices, do not listen via headphones, and do not own a smart phone! So, many of the functions on modern HAs are redundant to my needs. At least apps to control the HA can be down loaded to my iPad.

I subscribe to your every word
I love my ReSound Quattro. All frequencies are felt well.
It’s important to turn off noise and wind cancellation.
Earbuds also affect the sound very strongly.
So having started this thread last year, I unfortunately didn’t get any stears that took me anywhere helpful. But the question remains as important to me as ever.
Recently I started a trial of Resound One, replacing my Quattros. I have had two pairs of Quattros on the go for a couple of years, but for music I have had a nagging feeling of distortion, sounding rather like crossover distortion, for any real audio amplifier specialists out there. I have very expensive hifi, far and away more expensive than my two pairs of Quattros. In many ways it’s a waste of money, but music is more important than ever to me now, so why not?
Anyway I think the Ones are actually in a different league for music listening than the Quattros were. The crossover distortion effect has gone although there is still some distortion in my own cochlear in my left ear, exposed by a recent stapedectomy operation.
I’m not convinced that SmartFit is all that good at working out the ideal fitting for music, but it gives a start. And adjusting the fitting yourself while you listen to your hifi is an interesting and rewarding experience.
Anyway so far it’s a big vote for Resound Ones from me.

Ah, how quickly the year has gone. My guess is that any response you will get will be the same as the response you got before. My feeling is that nothing has changed. Someday perhaps but not yet.

Something new recently from Oticon is a newly released program specifically tailored for music called MyMusic for the Oticon More. Some More owners have started reporting on their impression with the new MyMusic program compared to the previous plain built-in Music program.
Beside the forum threads which you can search on your own by typing MyMusic in the forum’s Search box to learn more about forum posters’ reactions to it, here are a couple of links for some announcement and whitepaper on it as well.

Thank you. But my purpose in posting yesterday was to say that I have found a big improvement and to let others who might be interested know.
I’ve only scanned thru some of the replies. As recently as 20 years ago I considered myself an audiophile with preference for classical music and jazz and the good fortune to be able to hear live presentations often. I assume that you are listening now via hifi speakers in a good room listening environment in the sweet spot for phasing and sound stage. As what I hear as diminished what I have found as being most effective for my enjoyment is to focus as much on my emotional response to the music and find that being in a meditative mode is best for me to be present with the totality of the experience and allowing my brain to fill in (perhaps imagine/hallucinate) what is not actually heard by my nervous system but can be “created” by my brain. If there is a memory I try to focus on the feeling tone not actually what I remember hearing. In short i utilize my mind to offer me more of the experience that I might want and sometimes don’t really know (or care) if that is what my nervous system is registering.
One of the exercises that I do to stretch my brain is sometimes listen on the phone to people I know well but without my hearing aids on. Of course it sounds different, but since I know the timbre and overtones of that voice to some extent (certainly not completely) I can fill in what is not actually being heard by my ears and it tends to make the phone call more enjoyable.
I used (and still can obsess about the technology) but find that the mind is the most important part of the listening experience. Perhaps playing at things from that perspective might be of interest.
To some extent all of our so called perceptions are ones that are both correlated to the stimulus and creatively made up by us. Since there isn’t a right or wrong way to listen to music (unless you are taking a college exam on it) I see no harm in letting the imagination run as wild as it wants to.

I like my HiFi; I sit down to listen to music for a couple of hours a day. It is the first thing I say to the audiologist when looking for HAs.
About 4 years ago I had an audiologist in my listening room trying to get Resound HAs to sound good. He failed miserably after nearly 2 hours of tinkering. I ended up with Widex Dream 440. They were ok with music but after 4 years I have moved over to Phonak P90/312. I have a music program which is basically raw amplification tailored to my hearing loss with all other processing switched off. The type and fit of the domes is most important to sound quality. I like the music progam so much that I have set it to the default program because I hate the “so called” clever processing of the Automatic program.
Back to sound quaility when listening to music. I find I can enjoy music at relatively modest levels of about 70db. I can crank it up without any distortion produced by the HAs. Most music is in the HAs frequency range. Obviously you will not recapture nuances of sound which are in the higher frequencies. They are gone forever unless you use the horrible sound recover (frequency shifting) settings which are so artificial.
