Fit Conditions
Initial and Tuned Performance for the Pure C&G IX
Below you can view separate fit summaries showing how this device performed out of the box and after professional real-ear measurement adjustments. Toggle between conditions to see how tuning influenced speech and comfort metrics.
In its initial fit configuration using sleeve vented coupling, the Pure C&G IX achieves a normalized Initial Score of 3.8/5. Speech in quiet starts at 2.7/5 and speech in noise at 1.3/5, indicating moderate audibility with the out-of-box setup. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5, and own-voice comfort scores a solid 3.2/5. Music streaming performs well at 3.5/5. The initial configuration provides stable, comfortable sound but leaves meaningful room for improvement in speech metrics through professional optimization.
What is HearAdvisor's Initial Fit?
The Initial Fit approximates the most likely settings and eartips for a typical moderate hearing loss. Results are measured across the same 72 acoustic scenes in our custom-built lab, then scored on a 5-star scale using an auditory model.
