I'll try it out in a few cafes, restaurants, etc as high pitch (female) speech in these environments is my main cause for concern. Will then report back.

So far my various experiments with programming haven't resulted in any significant improvements. I've ordered a used copy of this 631 page book: "Hearing Aids" by Harvey Dillon. Not sure whether this will help or lead to further confusion 🙂 So far I've been randomly trying various adjustments and setting. What I hope to learn from this book is a more detailed understanding to enable me to develop a more logical and structured approach to my experiments.

I recommend reading about acoustic couplings like eamolds and relationships between them and the occlusion effect, etc. Abouy deep placement and waysnto do that.

Oh this is definitely the wrong way to do this (as for anything else as well!) no wonder your not getting anywhere!

No surprises here, yeah you do really need to read the user guides and use the demo simulation mode in the software, reading "books" will probably not help you much, if you want better understanding then head on over to AudiologyOnline, just google it, you can sign up for the free courses etc also as @Bimodal_user has mentioned, the acoustics are a important part to get right before you even start, have fun👍

Okay then, well hopefully you'll pick something up with Harvey Dillon's book of hearing aids, a lot of it still relevant, have you made a list in order that you wish to tackle, one thing at a time as they say and remember are just that, an aid and nothing is gonna restore your hearing as such. I've had good success with programming with taking my gear into the environment to make adjustments on the fly as well.

Hi there @frosstig great your giving a go, just be sure to read the user guides before starting plus you'll also need the Noahlink wireless programming device.
