As far as I have seen you lose if you go the self-fitting route. How significant is this. Many audiologists seem to recommend REM, but not everyone does it. Can you essentially achieve the same end result by spending more time on tweaking than an aodiologist can?

Of course you can, the clinic don’t want you in the office long if they can avoid it, no need for appoint appointments at suit them etc, with you can spend hours experimenting with everything available, no need to worry about , it’s just another tool in the toolbox!
Remember no one can tell you how you “hear” only you and you alone know this, sure DIY is not for everyone and in some cases professional advice is recommend.

Thank you for the encouragement. I may actually try it if/when I get the Jabra EP 20 backup aids. They take a long time to arraive to Costco in Sweden. However, in the meantime I am examining the settings my audiologist put on on my Nexias using Smartfit. I have found a few things that I will ask her at my next visit. So Smatfit has already been useful even without me making any changes.
