Hi !
I am new to the forum but i read a bit before as my wife was in the process of getting a .
She has a bad tinitus and it became obvious that she could only follow half of the discussions so it was about time.
As she is 38 that struck her quite hard…
I was focussing on the Siemens HA so i bought a HiPro (serial) in advance as it was a bit less expensive and i have a USB to serial converter…
It was also no problem to get hold of the Siemens Software.
I was waiting which model exactly so i could search for the right cable.

BUT they were not able to make it work with a Siemens so they gave Bernafon a shot.
And “unluckiliy” for me she now bought a Inizia 3 Nano from Bernafon.

I browsed this forum but it seems it is hard to find the neccesary things to program / finetune Bernafon HA !
I can see that Oasis 16.0 is needed from the Bernafon Website, right ?

IF (and i have no idea how) i could get hold of the Oasis 16.0, is the HiPro still the right programmer to use ? And do you have any idea what kind of cable the Inizia 3 Nano RITE needs and where to get it ?
(I am from Germany but i can order from the states and/or have a lot of friends there that could shop for me).

So it all boils down to the notorious newbie questions:
-Any idea hint (or if this is not allowed a PM) if/how i can get Oasis 16.0 ?
-The same for the cable, which is required, where to get it ?

Or is this a lost effort and i should sell my HiPro again and leave my wife to the goodwill of a questionably talented audiologist ?

Greetings and thanks for all the info gathered here. With the Siemens i was ready to go browsing this forum but the Bernafon sets me back quite a bit and so i am frustrated…

I don’t know about the Inizia, but the Chronos 9 which I just bought uses the CS44 cables with the Hi-Pro box and Oasis software. That’s what my Costco fitter used - she had Oasis 15 (not 16). You could try contacting “bidbybid” on eBay for the cables and software (check if it supports Inzia 3 nano rite though).

Hello platybus,
thanks, i will just do that and contact the eBay guy.
But of course i shy away from buying the cable before i learn if i can “somehow” obtain the Oasis SW.
From the update history at Bernafon i suspect i need v16 for the latest including the Inizia 3 Nano .

Does anyone know if that is so and has anyone a hint how to get my hands on OASIS 16.0 ?

Greetings,

Ender

You might also check out this website…

the hearing company dot com. Look under accessories - they sell the box + cables for under $800

I’m also looking to buy the Hi-Pro + cables.

Hi !
Thanks for the info, but after spending a lot on the we will not spend that kind of money. (In Germany they rip us off, approx 3 times the price as in the US, no wonder our health insurance system is expensive…).

I will simply sell the HiPro, maybe in this forum or on eBay…

Thank you anyways but it all makes no sense if i cannot a single hint where to get the Software :frowning:

I was searching about the inizia 1 and I came across this thread. I had no idea you could program these!

Did you ever get the correct software and hardware? I have just bought a left and right Bernafon Nano hearing aid. Unfortunately it is pre-programmed for somebody with far greater hearing loss than myself. This hearing aid was originally purchased in 2016. Bernafon do not want to deal with end users, only retailers / audiologists, so I was unable to download the programming software from them. I am looking for the most appropriate Bernafon “Oasis” software so that I can self program the devices and to enquire what hardware will I need to purchase in order to communicate with the devices?
Can you help me, or point me in the right direction?
