Why would the bars of the volume control look different for each ear in a binaural fitting?
If the volume control range is different for each device, the size of the bars for the volume for each ear will be different as well. For example, if one ear has a more severe hearing loss than the other and is near the limit of the fitting range (and the VC range is thereby reduced), the VC bars for that ear’s device will be wider than the VC bars for the other milder HL ear.
