Bone Conduction and RIC Aids

When I accessed my latest hearing aid provider’s fitting using Phonak Target, Target provided a message that said that bone conduction measurements were missing for my right ear. Sure enough, right ear bone conduction measurements were also missing from my printed . Target also said something to the effect that the missing measurements would affect the settings.

I came across a way to duplicate my left year bone conduction measures to my right ear and the gain graph did make a slight change.

My wife is going to the same fitter next week for a hearing test. If I see the same bone conduction measurements missing, should I point this out? I think it makes a difference especially if the left ear has it and the right ear doesn’t.

an air-bone gap of 10dB or less is considered normal, which is what I see in your .
Normal means it does not need to be corrected .

The O,X symbols are the air conduction measurements
The < > symbols are the bone conduction measurements.
The difference between the two per frequency is the air-bone gap
I only see one air-bone gap of 10dB at 4Khz in your right ear.
