Soft switching pertains to how the microphones work (switching polar patterns and Omni to directional) there is not a place I can think of where you can get this information. Other than registering to audiology online and taking Resound programming software classes. It’s really best to tell your audi what you’re expecting and they can build the appropriate program.*
The programs I listed are just a base to build off. Like restaurant has autoscope adaptive directional microphones with a minimal amount of frequencies in directional mode. Where party has fixed directional mode but can be set up exactly like restaurant with a high amount of frequencies in directional. There is no hard and fast rule to which is better, it’s really patient specific. The natural directional (one in Omni and one in directional) is like having Lasic surgery where one eye is nearsighted and when I is far (this is most likely your program number one now.*
If you want to send me a message I will respond with my personal e-mail and phone number and we can get more in depth. I have had patients get very in-depth about what does what in there hearing aid software and get in the way of a good fitting. Not to be rude but your audi has spent a lot of time learning this and works with the equipment 8 to 10 hours a day. It gets hard to explain every detail, there’s a lot to consider with every adjustment made and a lot of terms that will also need to be explained so you can start to have the conversation
