I changed my Philips HearLink 9050 Number of Fitting Bands to 24 from the previous setting of 16. I felt that my left ear slope with not a simple slope. However I did not notice a difference. I feel like this is more of a testament to the sufficiency of 16 bands.

Should I leave my Philips HearLink 9050 fitting bands set to 24? I don’t mind the perhaps slightly less battery life of 24 bands. My 9050s are fitted with 85 receivers and Double Vent Bass Domes.

Thanks in advance.

I take it your talking about the fitting handles in Hearsuite software right, if so these don’t have any bearing on the actual , as in-how they preform, it’s for programming, to help get a more detailed fit for each frequency.
So you can’t change the amount of channels in a HA with the software, only the gain handles.

Thanks for the response.

Yes, I am talking about the number of fitting bands in the HearSuite software. Are there any cons to setting this to 24 fitting bands? Would the fidelity of the programming effect the performance? Why would they not set it to 24 fitting bands from the get-go?
