Yes, when I trialed Marvel I also had perfomed Audiogram Direct.
EDIT:
It seems there were no possibility of Audiogram Direct through Remote Support in Marvel line.

Audiogram Direct is one of the best things for self programming. Makes me almost self sufficient.

In my iPhone 12Pro Max, the Spheres’ only BT option is to “forget”.
What am I missing regarding switching device type? My iOS is 18.1
I see in this explanation that there are five device types and that the feature requires iOS 14.4 or greater.
Not sure what to say. You’re looking at the old school BT connection and not one of the LE ones, right?

Good to know, I didn’t think it was reliable and on par with an official measurement.
I just received the Spheres last Monday. They replaced my Costco KS9’s. I wear glasses. The size difference is not noticeable to me (in terms of looks or fit/feel) or to my wife.

I had been going to Audiologists for two decades. During that time, I also had occasion to be treated by “dispensers”, two of whom were profoundly deaf and used instruments themselves. I expected THEY would be more in tune so to speak with the patient. I also trusted that the AuDs were applying serious science to the settings. BUT the hearing aid users, turned out to be very poor technicians - far less understanding of the science than even I as a patient. And my last AuD, succeeded in building up a good following - but in the process - it seems had become extremely reliant on the fitting software. Nowadays, I question how the experience for most HA users will be superior with an AuD, than by a well trained, and CARING dispenser, who has deep experience and knowledge of the fitting software being used.

I self programme. It works for me, as I can directly hear the changes I make.
I wouldn’t dream of programming anybody elses hearing aids, as I wouldn’t be able to hear the results. I could obviously do a first fit.
Having said this, I have learnt more off here regarding programme options than any Audiologist I’ve dealt with.

And when you click on the dropdown > to the right of the Device Type line in @WhiteHat 's first screen capture, you should see something like the following (five device types listed as promised):

Thanks Dan. Great answer.
I’ve had 2 pair of hearing aids that were awful. I blaimedthe maker. It was the way they were set up.
Hearing aids are medical equipment. It should easy to get a product that works. Every word is precious. So is the music we wish to enjoy

Few specialise in music though. Phonak certainly prioritise speech at the expense of other sounds

You’re right
Why do we accept this?
Why do we accept a lesser quality life?
There are two factors. HA design. And setup. I’ve had my Paradise P90R’s for 3 years. I changed care givers. A month ago I said thank you to the new one. Word recognition and music quality have improved. A week ago after another tune up they’re better again.
Edit: I stoped listening to music because it sounded awful with 2 sets of P. Hearing aids.
Finally after3 years Music sounds better with my 3 year old hearing aids. I was shocked. Difference is the setup. I’m not a musician. I used to listen to enjoy and reduce stress.

Excellent advice. My audiologist somewhat swayed me from the Phonak to Starkey, but now I am returning to get the Spheres to have better BT connection with my Samsung S22 and also to have the Sphere Mode. The Starkey Edge AI 24 was good, but what good is it if my BT goes out randomly?

I have seen a few posts that the Infinio Sheres are not necessarilly a significant leap from the Lumity range. I have Audeo Marvel aids. Does anyone have any experience of switching from these to the Infinio Spheres?
I have been struggling for a while with my Marvels even in relatively quiet environments and they have never been great in noise, such as a restaurant. So I will go back to my audiologist to see if my hearing has changed and have a tune up but given the ager of my aids (about 6 years I think) the subject of new aids is likely to come up.

Love my Spheres, changed from Lumity after a year. Had Marvels, KS10 (Paradise), Lumity and Sphere. Sphere the best yet.

No but similar in a way. I have NHS Nathos Novas and am currently trialling Infinio Spheres. Today I was in the bar at the golf club seated around a table with 6 other guys with 20 or so others in the bar. I could follow most of the conversation using Spheric mode. This was a significant improvement on my Novas. So I think I’ll be shelling out £4k when the trial is up.

I just upgraded my Phonak Lumity hearing aids to Sphere. The new Spheric AI noise reduction program is a game changer. Allows me to hear in very noisy places for the first time. The other benefit is that they will go two days on a charge if you don’t use the Sphere AI program.
So yes…they are a very significant leap.

Hi @platypus @jim_lewis and @Bimodal_user Is the Phonak Target software available to download or is it reserved for use by audiologists? I searched the internet but couldn’t find the Target software.
Many thanks Roger
