This is a new post. I have asked audiologists and even an ENT why can't one
test one's existing amplifiers [hearing aid's ] while wearing them? A
speech comprehension test usually goes like this: "Say the word xxx". And
if one's perceived word does not match the test word, wouldn't an amplifier
adjustment in situ be helpful? Was the missed consonant of sufficient
energy impacting the eardrum (or cilium) or whatever? The normal frequency
response test without your amplifiers is a starting point only. I still
have a lot to learn. Hearing correction is usually much more difficult than
vision correction.
