You’d think that. The numbers they give you look pretty good on their face. But when you actually look at the biology. . . my personal gap detection threshold is under 2ms.

It is possible to measure? ABR?
I understand that school of thought is held by a significant % of audiologists and might be good for business. It’s unlikely to be good for optimized hearing & brain function, tho. As for my audi & I, she started me off < 100% of prescription to let me adjust and went down from there. Yes, I complained of sibilance & other sounds that I found irritating/loud. I also advised that I wanted to get to full prescription/increased dbs before long. Bimodal encouraged (aka chastised 
) me to go 100% or more & get used to the renewed sounds. Once my audi and her colleagues were out of ideas, I instructed her to go to 100%. She committed to do so. Then she changed her mind, tried other adjustments, and didn’t tell me. So the trust I place in her is conditional, at most. To offer balance… she’s extremely responsive, prompt, persistent & generally a sweetheart. She’s worthy of very limited trust after not keeping her word, tho.
