Firstly, to my great surprise, the audiologist declared that I've finished working my way up through the gains, and now it's time to focus on differentiating between sounds.  He said that at the very first switch-on appointment they'd done some tests to measure my response to sounds, which gave them an indication of what gain level I was likely to end up at.  I hadn't realised this.  Broadly speaking, I've reached these markers (some frequencies I'm a bit higher, and some a bit lower).
