Hello, I use Oticon Alta 2 hearing aids. I have such a hearing impairment that I have to reprogram my hearing aids frequently. I have no experience in this at all. I already have a HI-PRO USB device, a CS44 cable and an Alta 2 shoe. I also need the Oticon programming software. Is it Genie 2? Can you download it? krzysztofj-23@tlen.pl

You need to use Genie. Also read a School file named
(Fitting Instructions Oticon Genie; Alta-Nera-Ria-Agil-Epoq)

After you determine what connector fits your style Alta2 (miniRITE, , etc) then you need a pair of connectors/cables, not just one.

Before I found your forum, I was a bit lost. I bought HI-PRO USB, CS44 cable + shoe. I didn’t know that I needed Genie 2 for this. I will buy a second pair of cables and start programming after installing Genie 2. It probably won’t be easy. I read about manually typing an . But the most important thing is that everything works fine after installing Genie 2

Don’t use Genie2. Use Genie for legacy hearing aids. Stop buying and start reading.

(02 How to Program Your Hearing Aids)

Hi. I installed Genie, connected Alta 2, hi-pro usb and everything works. I also reprogrammed my hearing aids. It’s much better than the audiologist has done recently. I wonder if I choose well. When programming the hearing aid, I have a choice; Genie or hearing aid. I choose a hearing aid. Is it correct? Maybe someone will tell you how to set the hearing aid when the volume is correct but I feel like my ear is blocked? I am writing through a translator, it can be stupid. Thank you for your help.

You only get a choice when settings (hearing aids/database) don’t match. The first time you must choose hearing aid settings because your database is empty.

At (End Fitting Step) if you save to Both (database and hearing aids) then both will match and you no longer will have to choose because both are the same.

Maybe open a new topic specifically for the one ear blocked problem. It could be many things.

I work on one cable but I have already purchased a second set. If I succeed, I will do a hearing test in Genie and set the hearing aids according to the new . Now I get too much high-pitched noise in my left hearing aid. Thanks again for your forum. Speech understanding is back. You’ve over-adjusted my hearing aids again. The feeling of blocked ear disappeared without increasing the volume of the hearing aid.

Don’t forget you’ll need the Noahlink wireless programming device as well if you haven’t already.

Oh, and I wouldn’t post an email address on the web ; )

In Genie, your left hearing aid appears on the right side of the monitor screen. Can this be changed? What determines the diameter of the vent in the earbud. I have 0.7 mm. I greet all forum members

No it cannot be changed. It is designed to relate to the audiologist view of his/her client. You can get comfortable with that view after some time. Just imagine a person sitting across from you.

What’s an earbud?

Oh, Oticon call these Earmolds. A School PDF file named
(Fitting Instructions Oticon Genie2; More-Own)
has a link (at the very end) to; Genie 2 | 2022.1 Quick Fitting Guide80.

The guide has information about Oticon Earmolds starting around pages 24/25.

Your audiologist chooses the vent size based on your hearing loss.

eta: Your (85dB earphone) is usually called a receiver or a speaker.
