Summary
In the initial fit condition using a power dome with slits coupling, the EarCentric EasyCharge achieved a fit score of 0.89/5, which falls well below the prescription hearing aid category average. Speech understanding metrics in both quiet and noisy conditions tested well below average. Feedback handling was a relative strength at 5.00/5, exceeding the category average. Own-voice comfort scored 1.90/5, indicating below-average occlusion performance despite the relatively open dome style. Music streaming quality also measured well below category norms.
The tuned fit condition for the EarCentric EasyCharge yielded identical results to the initial fit, with no measurable improvement across any tested metric. The same power dome with slits coupling was maintained, and the fit score remained at 0.89/5. This lack of differentiation between initial and tuned conditions suggests limited flexibility in fitting adjustments, meaning professional fine-tuning may not substantially improve performance outcomes for this device in our testing framework.
