For Help 24/7; Click any PVC Avatar; and then
Click PVC’s Featured Topic;
There you will find two clickable links for (DIY School and Fitting Software).

Some Sonic EXPRESSfit fitting software is readily available there. Check there first to see if your hearing aid “Family” is supported by the readily available Sonic EXPRESSfit versions.

If your hearing aid “Family” is not supported by one of the readily available Sonic EXPRESSfit versions, then please ask there on PVC’s Featured Topic for what you want?

I do not recommend using a proprietary wireless hearing aid programming device like Fittinglink. Why? Because all proprietary wireless hearing aid programming devices are going obsolete. If your hearing aids had wireless capability (they do not) the first wireless hearing aid programming device you should consider is the industry standard Noahlink Wireless, and shy away from the proprietary devices.

But your hearing aids are not even wireless. Your hearing aids are Sonic Cheer 20 CR20P. They cannot be fit using a wireless hearing aid programming device.

You will need the Sonic (EXPRESSfit Pro 2017.1) hearing aid fitting software.

When you run the software Click Help / Open Help File / Getting Started with Cheer. This will explain how to use a (Hi Pro or mini Pro) and standard CS44 cables to connect your hearing aids.

Well only if you get the latest models, otherwise you use the required programming device, I actually don’t recommend HiPro/cables if it can be avoided.

I’ve personally programmed the sonic cheer 20 and others using the FittingLINK.

I am not saying that you cannot use FittingLINK.

I’m saying that all proprietary hearing aid program devices are going obsolete. All of them!

And then there’s the question of which FittingLINK should be purchased? FittingLINK, FittingLINK2 or FittingLINK3?

As an aside, do you think the rechargeable battery inside FittingLINK is still good? Yes, you can use a USB cable in place of the battery operated device. I just don’t like saving dead batteries in my desk drawer. Do you?

If you have a choice, don’t buy one of these proprietary devices that is going obsolete. You will likely end up being the bag holder.

Any of them will work, I gave the link for the OP, so no need to confuse the situation.

Absolutely, remember you don’t use them much anyway, never heard of one going bad yet,It’s new in the box, mine is still going perfectly after many years of service.

No if course not, who does that?

No not good advice at all, if one has a choice, you should get the correct device, I mean it’s the same with buying older
(obsolete?) right or anything else that has been surpassed by the latest models.

Oh no!! I have reached the sentence-by-sentence rebuttal threshold. :wink:

Me adding confusion? Your EBay link is for a FittingLINK 3.0 but it features a picture of a FittingLINK??

@gianj.18 Read your PM/Private Message.

Don’t worry we’re not confused, if the OP wants to go wireless they’ll be good to go with that eBay listing.

Hi. Is your cloud repository still available? The School link appears to have been disabled. I am looking for fitting software for Sonic Enchant and and Resound LiNX 3D hearing aids. Thanks.

Hi there @Caradii great your giving a go, be sure to read the user guides before starting plus you’ll need the Noahlink wireless programming device as well.
