I have a pair of widex moment sheer, 440. I know my way around the fitting software now, and am ready to try some fine tuning. I’m am a music engineer and producer, so I understand frequencies etc
I think my approach will be this:
- Find a problem in my hearing aids to solve, for example, “I can’t hear my wife.” Create a program to address this.
- have her talk (or record her talking) so I can analyse at what frequencies her speech lies. I even have computer plugins that show the frequency spectrum, and curve of whatever passes through a studio quality mic into the software, including her voice. I can also use the “in-situ” view in widex software to see what it’s getting and how it’s adding gain at certain frequencies.
- either boost those frequencies where her voice lies, or perhaps cut some of the frequencies above and below them.
- test new program in conversation, in the real world
Does this make sense?
My main hangup will be how to treat, at any frequency I am fine tuning, the soft, medium and loud inputs - don’t know if I should be ducking or pushing (adding or subtracting gain) equally across all of those inout levels
Anyone that can chime in?
TIA
