Hello Ron,

Thank you for your inquiry. Because of a parts shortage, we are no longer able to produce the original Noahlink Wireless so we were in a position to create Noahlink Wireless 2 with backwards compatibility. If you have a working Noahlink Wireless 1, there is no need to upgrade until necessary. For more details, please see:

Noahlink Wireless 2 now released – HIMSA96

Noahlink Wireless 2 – HIMSA42

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Andrea Dennis

What has my interest is where they say “there is no need to upgrade until necessary.”
I think it may be that the hearing aids in the future will have functions/settings that the original Noahlink will not be able to access.
Unfortunately their answer is very vague as you can read for yourself.

It’s already well known and been mentioned many times in the forum there’s no difference in the way it works,the only difference is the bluetooth version from 4.2 to 5.?
The Noahlink wireless is the industry standard for programming, so what’s happening with now and in the future is everything is moving to , so possibly in a galaxy far far away the Noahlink wireless 2 will be a requirement.

What they are implying is if your Noahlink 1 should become inoperative, not obsolete.
As @tenkan mentioned, the 1 is the industry standard, and as long as it’s working “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”!
The only funtion the Noahlink serves is to connect your to the OS software for comms.

On Amazon I found a Noahlink Wireless (appears to be a wireless 1) by Himsa. They found some lying around? it is cheaper by a little bit then a Wireless 2 by Aierting also on Amazon. Himsa does not appear to have a wireless 2 on Amazon

Hi Amazon is now advertising the Wireless 2 for $179.99 with a delivery date of February 4-13.
I already have a Noahlink but I would get the Wireless 2 if I was in the market.

There’s no difference in what they can do, they both do the same thing, who knows what for the future, Himsa would announce if the MK 1 was to ever become obsolete, until then I’ll be keeping my olde Airlink2 and Noahlink wireless MK 1 .

Hi,

I bought an original Noahlink Wireless (labeled as CPD-1) in 2018 for $300. It worked great with Smart Fit 1.1 and 1.4. Used it several times to tweak my aids until 2022, haven’t touched it since - as I put the unit/cable in its original box and stored in my storage drawer. Over the weekends, i decided to make some changes to my ads as I don’t use anymore and want to try something. On two computers and locations, it sees the aids with serial number but as soon I clicked connect, my aids mutes (like it normal would but never unmuted) and says connection error. I turned off my phone during both time. It just won’t work. I had to power cycle the aids to get them working again. Tried a few things to no available. Upgraded to SF 2.2 and 2.3 Nothing changed at all - still same ENZO 3D aids I got back in 2017. Even my PCs are the same. Is there a reason why?

I ordered Noahlink Wireless 2 and it should be in within a week….

As I mentioned to you, there’s nothing wrong with your Noahlink, it’s working because it initially connected and shows your models and serial numbers, so obviously working, so time for a refresher course on how to connect one’s hearing aids. Waste in money on another Noahlink, do the driver update on your new PC to start with and remember it’s only 2min in pairing mode.
