I still contend that HA fitting is as much an art as science. REM is just a starting point. The curves produced by REM are not necessarily how your brain perceives sound. I have never had good success with REM using several different audiologists. The last one in Manhattan, KS was worthless. She matched all of the curves and said it was perfect. After charging me for the adjustment, she charged me again to put the aids back to the original settings. I have one goto audiologist in the country. I go back to Jacksonville, FL when I need aids or adjustments. I am going to try an audiologist in Houston. I hope that is not a wasted appointment.
We will see…
