Phonak Target contemplated major fix for L30's

Posted this in another thread I started and it really needs its own thread…

Getting the adjustment changes/workflow for Target figured out and I made some lower frequency adjustments with promising results.
As a result, I was inspired to create this look at the fitting for my left ear and how it appears to be short of meeting the needs indicated by my hearing test.

The black line between the top and bottom blue lines represents the changes to the fitting that I am contemplating. Admittedly, I have little basis (read that as experience) for making this judgement, however, it seems logical that the gain represented by the scaled trace can not adequately compensate for the gain seemingly required by the mirrored trace. Also, the scaled trace isn’t remotely similar to what appears to be required???

In any case, I’m not at all confident that what I’m contemplating will ultimately pass muster; clipping and exceeding the unknown limits of the HA’s.

What am I missing here or am I on the wrong track?

BTW, on the surface, there appears to be major shortcomings in the methods used to generate an automated fitting. My experience with five different HA’s, various MFG’s and 4 different audis all resulted in the same shortcomings/sounds. While it may work for some, it definitely doesn’t work for all.

Appreciate any feedback on this.
