Tweaking Spheres to sound a bit more like Lumity's?

I recently got the Sphere’s and I have had several adjustments. My biggest issues right now with them is that I can’t hear anything well in quiet environments, but I can hear perfectly in loud environments (with the Sphere mode activated). And the music + television sounds very off.

However, my Lumity’s are the opposite in which I can hear quite well in quiet areas while I can’t hear much of anything in loud places. The music + television sounds great with them, lol.

I have the NoahLink, does anyone know of any way to sort of combine them? Lumity settings for quiet environments and music, keeping the Sphere in loud noise settings intact?

I ended up doing that and figured out why they sound so different. The Lumity’s were on the v5 Pediatric formula fitting, while the Sphere’s are on the ones. Reading up on it, I guess I’ve been on DSL since I was in high school so it’s definitely jarring going to so much compression in APD.

Do you know if I would absolutely need after transferring the Lumity → Sphere to make sure I don’t damage my hearing? It sounds much better but I understand the volume is a lot higher + not sure if it’ll be too much volume with Sphere’s compared to Lumity’s.

I’ve stuck back with the og fitting in the meantime, I got a little bit used to it but it’s still very quiet & speech understanding is still not very good in calm environments.

I was able to get an appointment with my audiologist and she switched things over and did a re-verification. Sounds so much better now, I’m very pleased.
