Phonak "Trial" Model

It’s basically a loaner for people to try/demo. It can be programmed in all versions of that particular hearing aid.

They typically start beeping at 6 weeks needing to be reset by the fitter, easy if you self program.

I have Target. I am looking at some for spares. If you reset, does the beep come back again or can you turn it off permanently? Can you update the firmware? I have never seen this in the program.

Looks like when you re-enter the hearing aid on Target, it resets another 6 week period, so not so good for spares even.

Had a trial/loaner pair of Jabra due to repairs, I will say in the 4.5 weeks I had 1 or 2 random beep at the 4 week mark I think it wasn’t annoying just random out of nowhere despite a full battery and only Twice. They weren’t streaming as didn’t jive with my cellphone. I guess if your willing to self program a trial pair having the beeping issue reset every 4-6 weeks isn’t a bad idea…it’s ideal for just a spare pair but if they’re planned to be a permanent replacement full time that night get annoying.

I found a pair of P90’s and ordered them as a backup. I a nervouse that Phonak might be doing all rechargable and I have been there and don’t want them anymore. The 675 may be big, but it last 2 weeks and with two pair I am in business for a number of years. Already invested in Roger Select and TV Connector, so I like the platform. Also have Target and NoahLink, so Phonak is hard to leave.

What is the reset process like? Do you have to reprogram the aid or just reset the trial time with all the programming remaining?

Very easy, you just connect with programming device in target and click on reset and save.
