Well let’s take a real-life/real-time example without the warranty…

I have an Oticon Chili SP5 that I purchased used as a single hearing aid (HA) for approximately $200. I paired this with another Oticon Chili SP5 that I purchased as a single used HA for approximately $300. So I paid about $500 for the pair.

Now the $200 HA is in need of repair. It was profusely sweated upon, and now when you turn it on it plays the start-up tunes for a few seconds and then shuts down.

I took it to a local audi who said it’s an internal problem and has to go back to the factory. I don’t want to send it back to the factory/Oticon. That would cost a minimum of $300.

So today I have packaged it up and sent it out to a repair lab. I use EarMax Lab which I have used before to repair my wife’s HAs. It will cost $100 for repair plus $6 return shipping. The Lab is closed for vacation for the first half of November so I probably won’t know the results until the end of this month.

I will let you know if the repair goes well. If yes then my preference is to pay $100 for repair rather than pay thousands for a warranty. But that’s just me. Maybe you prefer the comfort of a warranty.

Okay, here’s an update on this real-life/real-time example of owning hearing aids without benefit of a warranty. I bought another Oticon Chili for $320. This one is a Chili SP9 which has many more features than the SP5. We cant use some of the extra features (at this point in time) because it will be paired with a Chili SP5. In the future we may get another SP9 and sell the SP5. Or we may get another SP5 and sell the SP9.

Back to my basic point… I prefer to spend $320 for a replacement hearing aid instead of spending thousands for a warranty.

Yep got another SP9 for a pair of SP9s and will sell the single SP5.

Seems like Widex has now put their software behind a login.

hello,

i´m sti from germany. i´m actually using my “old” aids gn resound air again, cause my newer unitron moxi don´t fit even they were programmed by “profensionals” several times…

unfortunatally the resounds are sometimes not loud enough and theres no possibility to set the volume up like the moxi allows to.

to help my self i baught an icube but without the unitron truefit software i´m not able to adjust my moxi aids.

i´d be very glad if someone here could help me and tell me a link to download truefit. the links in the older posts of this thread are dead.

thanks and greets
sti

i´m “truefited” -

Hi,

At this moment I have Phonak Audeo S hearing aids which I programmed my self and experienced I did a better job then my audie. Music is much better and increased volume without distortion.
In a few few weeks I get new hearing aids which will probably be the Widex Unique.
Before I decide to buy them I want to get the software and hardware so I will also able to adjust them.

So far I had no luck finding a download link for the Widex Compass GPS software.
I hope someone can help me with it.

Kind regards, Chris

No,
You will need the wired or wireless connection fitting your specific type of HAs and have brand specific programming software.

Connexx 8 download to use with Siemens pure and binax aids.

Will require a HiPro setup or the ConnexLink interface.

I have the America hears aids w/ programmer. I now need new aids. Can the AH programmer/leads be used with any other HA’s?

TIA!

Bill

So, Bill. Did you find out any way to use AmericaHears programmer/cables with other HAs? (such as Oticon)

As far as I can tell the software is only for AmericaHears (love that traditional equalizer interface) and the interface is proprietary or for certain lower grade aids and not the premium ones frequently discussed here. At a minimum it will not work with Oticon.

Does anyone know the file password for the latest REsound Aventa software download file so I don’t have to call them this weekend?
Or possibly access to the software without password?

Can someone pm it to me?

I downloaded the ReSound Aventa 3.10 Stand Alone fitting software, and installed it without a password, not much more than a month ago. I found the link here in the forums somewhere, but don’t remember where at the moment. You should be able to find the same download that I found. I wound up purchasing Siemens Signia HA’s, so I haven’t looked at the Aventa software much, but I just checked, and the program opens readily.

I have Siemens Pure 301 XCEL RIC. I am frustrated with my audiologist. We are going nowhere. I lost already 3 years.I am an electrical engineer. I understand how it works and what frequency range I need amplifications. When I looked at Siemens website, they talk about Connexx 6.6 SW. How can i get it and use it in my own PC so i can adjust any time i want.

I reviewed the forum. The links given to download the SW do not work. It will make a big difference in my life if I can some how do it myself.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am afraid I can’t help with Siemens software but can offer the advice to not get discouraged and keep searching. I too spent more than three years (2012 to 2016) in an enormously frustrating (and expensive) series of audiologist sessions. I finally came across this website and some encouragement and began a (also expensive, ultimately hugely satisfying) search for hardware and software. My audiologists had sold me Widex and Oticon - I’ve been able to get Compass, Compass GPS and Genie, a HiPro, lots of cables, all from eBay. A bit slow, a bit expensive. But after perhaps 50 appointments with two clinics and three audiologists, whom for God-knows what reason were unable to program any of the four instruments I have satisfactorily. Each of those appointments were followed by a week or so to search out ambient sounds and noisy environments to test whether the settings were acceptable. You can imagine my surprise to find the software has entire sound libraries with exactly the sounds I complained about and the testing could have been done in the audiologists office. Ironically, I spent those four years wondering whether the software was too challenging for the audiologists and that was the reason for their unsuccessful attempts; either they knew little of the software or they cared little for their patient. Yet once I was able to plug them in myself I found that (literally) instantly the software satisfactorily hits ‘targets’. Fine tuning - with it’s multiple displays, functions and dynamic imaging, etc - can be done now in fifteen minute sessions at any time I like or need. So this is not a help with finding your software but I hope it provides encouragement to keep searching as I would guarantee the search is worth the effort. And in closing perhaps this suggestion. I was able to get some of the needed paraphernalia by sending messages directly to hearing-related eBay sellers relaying my specific needs. Either by coincidence or luck I was able to shorten my search that way. Good luck!
