As I recommended today in @JordanK’s Sphere Lumity Shootout thread, taking the following two Audiology Online courses for free will really help you understand how AutoSense programs work and the relative importance of many of the adjustments, and whether any control over the adjustments is available for any particular AutoSense program in the MyPhonak app. Although the courses are intended to orient HCPs to using Target fitting software if you’re able to follow along from what you’ve learned on this forum, it will give you a lot of additional insight into how the Autosense programs work, what can be adjusted, and whether you need to ask your HCP to do it or not. Also, what some of the comparative differences are between AutoSense programs that seem similar on the surface, e.g., Media speech + mic vs. Media music + mic. The first course listed by Erika Porter is particularly good. She’s an excellent instructor and emphasizes that there is often more than one way to address any particular problem.
For example, with soft background noise like refrigerators, AC blowers, etc., that @jeffpa had a problem with in this thread, she cites raising the threshold for blocking background base-level noise is one of several approaches that can be used (some might not want a gross increase in noise reduction of all levels of noise loudness-might interfere with speech understanding, etc.).
After posting, I see @Bimodal_user has also pointed out the soft noise reduction option (Sphere Programs - #12 by Bimodal_user), but it’s still something Erika Porter used in her talk to illustrate Phonak flexibility and many options.
