Can someone confirm that the OPN’s can be programmed with the flexconnect cables that one would use for the Agil/Nera, along with the hi-pro and Genie 2?

Also, the firmware updater has a warning that says “Note that updated instruments will be returned to factory settings”.

Therefore, if a self programmer using Fittinglink only (no Hi-Pro) has to take his/her hearing aids to an Audiologist for firmware updates then the Audi would have to save the current programming first, apply the firmware updates, and then re-apply the original programming.

Your Audi is not likely to be doing that for free unless you purchased your hearing aids from that Audi.

Genie2/Client/Family/Opn 1/Cable Overview

A flexconnect is a flexconnect except don’t mistake it for a mini flexconnnect with the little tiny neck used for Alta . Here’s a picture of both side by side. >>thin neck15<<.

All Hi Pros/mini Pros work the same as far as programming goes. There are differences in speed and differences in connectivity (Serial/USB).

I apologise for necrobumping a thread, however it appears to be directly relevant.

I bought the Fitting Link 3.0 (I know the disadvantages of doing so, but 1) my manual dexterity and 2) difficulties and extra expense of acquiring the cables, flexstrips and HiPro separately in the UK confined to make this the best option for me, though I may regret it anon.) I thought I’d take high resolution photos of it so that the numbers on it can be read.

The model name and much of the FCC ID lookups make clear that it is indeed a Sennheiser BTD 800 USB dongle, which is one of the ones they use with wireless headphones, though one of the IDs suggests a sub-version or something.

I have no idea if the apparently minor difference between the headphone version and the Fitting link version is in the hardware, firmware, or even just “ID” (for automated driver installation). But the similarity makes me wonder if it is possible to make the headphone version of the dongle work as a fitting link, by e.g. turning off driver signing and forcing it to use the Fitting link driver…
