And relative to the app thread that you opened up for Widex and ReSound, MDB, it would be great sometime if HA OEM’s granted users more fitting software capability/settings information in the user app. Maybe with “AI,” someday the AI can guard against the users doing bad things through the app.
The Widex A/B choice is great. Some fitting software like ReSound’s has the ability to simulate the user’s hearing loss vs. normal hearing for a variety of sounds. It would be great if in the user app, one could do that A/B choice with a variety of test sounds, such as music, and set one’s preferences that way. The ReSound fitting software for the user’s hearing loss vs. normal hearing loss offers a number of different genres of music, for example, with different amounts of treble, midtones, and bass to test out. Perhaps the reasoning for testing and adjusting might be that one’s inner ear canal is like a little concert hall and you want to tune the sound delivered to that venue, just like sound engineers tune the sound in a concert hall or you can do with your amplifier/speaker setup for the size and acoustic properties of your room or the sound properties of the virtual room you want the reproduced sound to emulate (easy to say since I’m an ignorant fool about music!).
