While we're posing questions <grin>, why would you NOT want to use
real ear measurement to fit hearing aids?

It seems to me that not using REM is like measuring the length of a
building by saying the average human foot is 12 inches long and
walking along the edge of the building.  -You'll be close, but not
exact.
