According to the link you provided, it was to become available in Fall 2016. This link makes it seem like it is available: https://www.himsa.com/Products/NoahlinkWireless/tabid/4792/language/en-US/Default.aspx40[

QUOTE=pvc;153409]Hmmmmm; I saw >>Noahlink Wireless10<< listed as a selection for the Programming Device in Connexx 8.3.2 fitting software.

What does that mean? Maybe it’s a programming device selection for the future?

>>Noahlink Wireless<< is not released/available yet, is it?

OIC, Beltone, ReSound, and Sivantos are ready.

Companies Supporting Noahlink Wireless
Beltone Available
Oticon Under Development
Phonak Under Development
ReSound Available
Sivantos Available
Starkey Under Development
Unitron Under Development
Widex Under Development

NoahLink (or as Resound calls it Airlink2) is a programming device. I’ve got one sitting right here in front of me. About 2"x3"x3/4" with two lights on it and plugged into a USB port on my computer. I use it with the Resound Smart Fit app and my Linx 3D aids.

rnatalie has an Airlink 2!!
I don’t want to get this just yet. It’s too new. The price is too high. Too many unanswered questions, etc, etc, :slight_smile:

I’ve just upgraded both of my Airlink2’s to Noahlink Wireless. You can do it free via Aventa Smart software. Works well so far. Much more stable connection than with the airlink2

Edited

You can also make the Airlink 2 device become a Noahlink Wireless device by using the ReSound update tool to update the Firmware on your Airlink 2. That makes it compatible for programming some other brands of hearing aids. I say some because not all manufacturers are ready for Noahlink Wireless yet. Scroll down to the bottom of this link >>Airlink 234<< to find the Airlink 2 Firmware updater.

For Siemens, Noahlink Wireless ONLY works with the Pure 13BT; no other Siemens aids will work with it. NLW will also work with all Resound aids that were compatible with Airlink 2.

Not much of a roll out. One Siemens/Signia hearing aid (the Pure 13BT) plus all the new ReSound hearing aids, which is not surprising because Noahlink Wireless is ReSound’s Airlink 2, same device with different firmware.

Maybe Phonak Target 5.2 in the near future??

I count GN Resound/Beltone as a single manufacturer. Of course Noahlink Wireless will work for this manufacturer because the it’s the same device (with different firmware) as GN Resound’s proprietary Airlink 2.

As for Sivantos CONNEXX Eight, it’s just the one hearing aid (the Pure 13BT).

Phonak Target 5.2 is not available yet. Seems like not much progress thus far. But the Target 5.2 news is encouraging.

In order to use the Noahlink wireless device and a module for a hearing aid brand is required. Only audiologists and hearing aid specialists can order these products through their distributor.

Don’t know what you mean about “a module for a hearing aid brand”; what’s needed is software from the various hearing aid manufacturers that has been updated to communicate with the Noahlink Wireless device.

rnatalie has one, click this >>link16<<, some others too, we saw one on EBay/Canada but it was priced way high, I didn’t get the memo saying I couldn’t get one so I got one too ;), here’s the Software:> How-To-Get-Hearing-Aid-Fitting-Software46

Scroll down on this >>(Hearing Aid Forum - Active Hearing Loss Community19)<< to find the red/caution statements because this only works with some hearing instruments at this early stage.

Yep, the Resound Smart Fit software talks direct to the Noahlink/Airlink2. It’s one of the four hearing aid interfaces that the software supports.
