Where can I send the audiogram for opinion? Is there an RME e-mail . Are there special protections in hearing aids?
I'm missing a great amount of HF on the right ear.
That‘s what Dual EQ is made for, have different settings left and right.
A typical audiogram only gives a hint what to set.
It show the shift of your threshold of hearing for few frequencies only, relative to a healthy hearing.
When listening to music one usually listens above this threshold.
The disorder has a much lower effect then, and needs much less compensation then the audiogram figures might suggest.
Headphone’s characteristics and your favorite style of music are important factors too.
Probably a subjective approach has the best chances for success:
• Start by setting your typical listening level.
• Play a few typical tracks of your favorite music.
• With the EQ set to “Dual EQ”, broadband boost the frequency range that is shown disordered, until you think it’s significantly too much.
• Now dial back Gain dB by 1/3.
• Fine adjust Frequency, Q and Gain while switching trough different music tracks.
• Store the result.
• Over time you might do additional fine adjusts.
• As a backup, note the settings, just in case.
