They put his aids in and test him in the sound booth... sitting in my lap facing away from me...

By the way you said

we're getting a near 'normal' hearing range w/his right aid (Oticon Vigo Pro) but he's still profound w/his left

it made it sound like they were testing him with only aid on at a time.
Soundfield testing (the way they are testing him) is not an accurate way to determine benefit of the left or right hearing aid. Let alone they cann't they pin point sufficient power for either ear if both are worn (soundfield testing isn't ear specific), you would have to test him with one aid on at a time. The most accurate way to determine sufficient gain for a hearing aid on a child who can't tell you if it's too loud or too soft is to do real ear testing and use RECD norms.
