Did you have REM?

By the way, try these:

  1. Closed domes —》Power domes

  2. Trying to slighly reangling receivers, when they’re deep in ear canal - maybe their outputs are directed to ear canal wall, not eadrum, which can be detrimental to sound quality.

  3. Woman speeches - hmm, you have M receiver? Maybe P receiver helps. If not - consider changing prescription to DSL 5.0 (a bit more amplification for higher frequencies), if without success - maybe active feedback cancellation is often activated due to leak around domes and you can’t reach proper high frequency amplification.

Admittedly is SoundRecover2, but that is rather for patients with no usable response from high frequency stimulation.

  1. In case of no success with power domes I would consider deeply placed cShell (past second bend of ear canal) with smaller vent than suggested by Target Software. I have no problem with occlusion, so I’ll have pressure vent, YMMV.

  2. Reconsider lenght of receiver. Maybe it’s too long and you lose a bit of directivity? Read link here:
