Yes. You can have independent activation and deactivation of the volume on the hearing instruments and the remote control. To deactivate the volume control on the hearing instrument, follow the instruction provided in the FAQ section regarding disabling volume controls on the hearing instrument (e.g., navigate to the End Fitting > HI Setup screen and use the Volume Settings box). Provided you have added a remote control to the fitting via the Instruments > Accessories screen and have assigned a volume control to one of the controls on the remote, the volume can still be changed via the remote control.
