Hi everyone,

Thank you

Where are you based? We have a classified section here on hearing tracker, I think eBay has a pretty good selection, seems each local state in the US has their own auction sites.

Hi @hass5744,
I’m hoping to download the settings from my main aids using target and then transfer that to the back up ones.

Any idea how to find the classified section?
A place for buyers and sellers to meet.
Though, I should point out that it is not very active.

eBay UK has some of the best deals around, @Zebras has brought some fantastic deals from Phonak there.
That software restricts your model choices.
In what way?

How does Target restrict model choices?
That comment really doesn’t make since or am I misunderstanding something?

I don’t know what your is like so it’s hard to say what you may like.
eBay UK is a good place to look.
The sellers I’ve bought from tho often sell Ultra Power HAs.

I see now, you are thinking brands, not models.
Each brand has their own software.
Phonak is Target.

I assumed some very old models were no longer supported either so I left my statement open ended.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the help and feedback.
I have a new pair of Phonak Audeo Life Lumity L90-RL on the way from my audiologist.
I’m wondering if I’d have been better with a pair of the Phonak Audeo Paradise P90-13T, as battery life is a big thing for me.
But the Paradise were only £100 cheaper.
I also have a used pair of Audeo M90-RT on the way from ebay as a back up pair (watch this space).
I have got the Target export file from my old audiologist, which was for my old M90-13T aids and am hoping I can just transfer those settings over to the ones from ebay.

Hi
Last fall I bought the Costco Jabra’s for $1800…they are Resound Omnia…high end. Did not like all that much and returned. I decided to take a chance of Ebay…bid on a Pair of Phonak …were advertised as Marvel M30’s (the lowest Phonak HA with direct programming.). Good seller reputation…just a random seller. (ie not a “dealer”…). They turned out to be a pair of Paradise P70’s… Lesson was that they seller did not really know what they were…I bid on what I thought they were. Everybody was happy. Basically I got a set of almost brand new HA’s…probably equivalent to the discontinued Costco K10’s ($1400). programming starting with Costco fitter specs…and TONs of help from this forum. Very happy. As everyone says…buyer beware…but I have been buying and selling on Ebay for many years…always very cautious…and have never been bitten.
My take a away…buy used…let others subsidize the HA “cartel”… 
Good luck
Ethan
