Do you know any new features of firmware 6.1?

Here are notes from the 2019.2 download folder.

Download is faster using the flexible downloader and selecting items you want.

I cannot find any information about OPN firmware 6.1 in this file.

I downloaded through the genie program.

@menglxs Unfortunately, I do not know.

Updated to firmware 6.1 in Opns. I did have to re-pair the ConnectClip to the aids. First had to delete the existing pairing for the CC in Genie, then re-pair the CC. It took a good 30 seconds to pair. There is a new bluetooth device supported (EduMic) so the firmware may have changes that require re-pairing.

No firmware update for the ConnectClip. It’s still at version 1.13.0.

I don’t have a TV Adapter so I don’t know if there is a new update available or not.

Thanks for the info, MikeJ! I just also confirmed that the TV Adapter remains at 2.1.1, no change either.

Excellent answer! I am doing an endzone dance for my first successful self-programming using my new Hi-Pro USB from Amazon. Seems like the best answer, even for OPN users is to set up for cabled connection via Hi-Pro USB, CS44 and ribbon cables due to that firmware update thing.

WRT firmware updates for Alta2 Pro Ti, I have my connection working fine for Genie 1 to the aids. But when I run the Oticon Firmware Updater, it tells me it can’t detect any aids. I have tried running the updater solo and also at the same time as Genie. Genie is connected, Updater is not. There are a couple of strange files in the package with Genie 1 and 2 (Otiset5). They seem like DOS install files and I didn’t need them to re-program the aids. Might the answer lie there? Do you have to run the firmware updater in conjunction with the fitting program or is it stand-alone?

Thanks!

In Genie 1 for Alta2 Pro Ti, what does the “Locked” checkbox make happen in the Acoustics sub-menu?

Thanks.

Hello,

I have moderate hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears. I couldn’t afford the hearing aids that the doctor wanted to sell new to me. So, I bought them on ebay at a price I could manage. Now they say that they won’t program them because they were not purchased through their office.

I have the audiology results/report.

How difficult will it be to be able to update the firmware, program for the hearing loss, and add the four tinnitus programs?

And any idea what it will cost for the equipment to do it?

Or do you know anyone that does this for a reasonable price?

Thank you in advance for any help.

I have Oticon Alta2Pro Ti aids. I bought a USB hi-pro for $240 from Amazon as I needed it fast due to travel plans. 2 ribbon cables for oticons and 2 CS44 cables on eBay set me back about 100. Genie software is free. I found it easy but I’m an electrical engineer. It isn’t that difficult nor is the technical knowledge required overwhelming but it takes awhile to absorb the overarching process that audi’s employ from the structure of the software which is pretty helpful.

Sorry @riverwind620, this forum is hidden and requires you to go there to view it, so I don’t frequently go here to view for posts. In Genie 2, you’d go to the Fine Tuning section to adjust the volume. You can adjust everything together, or select your adjustment based on frequency and the loud/medium/soft sound breakdown.

On the iPhone X, you can go to the MFI menu or the Oticon ON app to change volume.

Fred… I can see ‘Fitting Assistant’ in Genie, but not in Genie2… do you know why?

Thanks! Nick

Sorry Nick, I do not know why it was dropped.

Thanks for the response! Kind of a bummer, I used the assistant frequently…
