I had assumed that this setting helped users to ‘adapt’ to new settings or hearing aids and incremented the volume over an automated or manually-controlled period?

I tried the recommended setting which was 4 but it was incredibly loud/painful! I questioned my audiologies and they said that it doesn’t just control the volume but also ‘other’ settings and that most people don’t make it to the recommended setting anyway.

Should I leave it at that or am I missing out somehow and I should spend more time tweaking the individual frequency bands or the ?

If it’s way too loud you could indeed start at a lower level and over the next few months let it build up to 4 (or 3 if your more comfortable) this setting is used for new users of .
And again you could just do away with the “adaption” setting all together and just set the gain/fit for a “new user” and adjust from there, the is adjusted automatically, so at this point no need to adjust this.
