Yesterday I tried in-situ audiometry in Smart Fit for the first time. I used the manual method where you can test at your own pace to be more certan what you hear and what you do not hear. I noticed slighty different results when going from weaker to stronger signals than from stronger to weaker. Typically I got lower thresholds when going from stronger to weaker, which probably is due to the fact that I already knew what frequency to listen for when the signals became weaker and weaker. So my question is: Is there a preferred direction that shoud be used?
you should be able to jump all around.
you can have a friend press the keys - have her practice first under your watch.
You can go high low to high, in both volume and frequency or jump around in any order. Having recently been to an AuD, who confirmed my inSitu was good, and having done inSitu often previously, I can say just play around with it.
Important that you do any feedback testing first. Have that set.
Also be sure you don’t have background noise that could mask soft sounds.

I have found that there is a BUG in the smart fit program … which is exactly what you described.
I always work up and down to find the correct level 
I have always thought it was because I am running Windows 11 in a virtual machine (Vmware workstation in Linux)… but since you are also reporting it … must be a program bug …
This is normal. Audiological thresholds are defined as 50% detection on upwards runs when not expecting it.
