Do you have the side by side results?

Was the Specsavers test done with headphones or inserts?

Hm, if you are referring to the you posted in the other thread (New member here - audiogram), I would call the audiogram currently in your profile massively different. Just to pick out one example: 45 or 65 dB hearing threshold at 4K (left ear) is a pretty big deal when programming hearing aids. Itโ€™s the calibration/baseline problem. Itโ€™s hard to overcome with just standard audio equipment.

Sorry thatโ€™s miles out, look at the 2 KHz area on the left ear; which is a critical area for speech understanding. According to the PDF you have a degree of asymmetry there which isnโ€™t evident on the Specsavers test. Thatโ€™s a really erroneous basis to establish a hearing prescription.

So, I took another professional hearing test done today @3pm in Boots - he used in-ear headphones, not over ear ones like they used in Specsavers after going through frequencies he also did some tests in noise with a bone conducting head piece

PXL_20250717_181233847.MP~2

The orange traces are the SpecSavers ones for both L& R
The yellow highlighter traces are todayโ€™s Boot trainer

As you can some big difference at low frequencys k probably diff between over ear in ear headphones?) & smaller diffs at HF.
