My Dad can hear me better through my Phonak Marvel when features are off

I have mainly lost the lower frequencies and right is worse, tinnitus in both ears, right worse for like a humming type noise.
The over loudness is what I feel makes tinnitus worse as wear these all day to and am often turning up/down for noises, the auto program does filter out noises to.

Just found this thread, and very interesting. Phone calls is the only “streaming” option I haven’t touched, as with “adaptive bandwidth” turned on, I’ve had no complaints, and I hear fine.

I’ve noted that many others struggle in calls, even with adaptive bandwidth, so this could well be the best route.

On all other streaming options (t.coil, roger, media, speech and TV Connector), I have all the sliders fully to the left, except whistleblock. I’ve settled on “6” for this. I started with “4”, but some circumstances (such as standing near to a wall) meant the feedback would continue. Try and get away with the lowest setting you can, as it’ll eat away at you high frequency gain, and you’ll lose clarity.

I now only use the Music programme, but I’ve done these settings on “Calm Situation”, as a belief it is the backround “mic” programme in the streaming options. I hope this makes sense. There’s a phrase above… “your brain is the best noise filter”. I fully believe this.

@DaveL My Audiologist uses a Mac with target, so there may be a way.

This thread ties in with the one I started elsewhere. The discontinued Widex Dream advertised that “simple is better” /less is more, in terms of added features when it comes to music. Yes, my audi seems to have turned off all the relevant features in my Signia music program, but I sometimes wonder if he’s missed one. How would I know/? (I’m a bit ocd…). The Dream was doubtless discontinued because the general public demands more features, even if they don’t use them or if they’re not helpful. Not me! simple is beautiful n many cases. Granted, my needs are different from most because I’m looking for help hearing my classical guitar in small settings, solo or with a few others; and of course hearing music in concert. There’s no money in that for HA manufacturers. I completely understand. But I’m fascinated by the Dream model, or anyway a more recent model that easily sets up a music program that turns OFF all the features.
