But where is there? @sk02 Can you ask your health care provider for a copy of the software?

Or did you get the Interton Move’s from another source?

Try directly by PM - just blind shooting? :slight_smile:
I’m not aware of mass PM…
But maybe indeed no-one has it. It’s a testing device, so I will consider something else that has available software, though the sound of it is not bad.

Even worse if they know I’m trying to adjust by myself, they may not be very happy either. Don’t understand that - they don’t want to spend much time for the fine tunning and don’t want to let you try by yourself.

Yep, it’s a bummer.

Re-branded hearing aids/ are Re-branded for a reason. To make money!

Think about who manufacturers the hearing aids. There were six manufacturers. But now (after the Widex merge into WS Audiology/Sivantos) there are only five, the Big5. You can view a list of the Big5 hearing aid platforms in a School document named (Recent Platforms-Chips of the Big Five).

After a manufacturer has spent a lot of time/effort/money/research to develop the finished product, then they can then stamp out a gazillion copies of that product at very low prices. Also, Typically, there are no hardware differences between the top tier and lower-tier models. The premium features are simply activated by firmware settings.

The retail business outlets for Rebranded HAs are many, NHS-(National Health Service), Costco or other large retailers, Healthcare insurance, new any-name/local-per-country/franchise startups, maybe even more?

Ah, But what happens with the typical professional audiologist business setup with premium/top-tier products, and premium personal service. Won’t they balk when they learn that the same premium products are being sold on-the-cheap?

Here’s where the skulduggery and obfuscation comes into play. If you can accept that Re-branded hearing aids is a money making endeavor to sell the same product disguised as a different/less expensive product, then you should also be able to accept that carefully planned steps have been taken to insure that re-branded products cannot replace the premium brand. What kind of steps?

  • The re-brands are typically not as full featured as the original
  • Sometimes the hearing aids are locked
  • Sometimes the software is hidden

In reply to @sk02

Well don’t worry about that, they are your and you can do what you want with them, I’d definitely agree that you should make things easier on yourself and get a brand that has everything available for , Costco comes to mind if you like ReSound products, Jabra, Signia, Phonak all easily available.

Costco is a prime example of ReBranded hearing aids. Have a look at all the locked hearing aids from the past. Many from ReSound.

Yeah that’s the thing I like about Costco, although rebranded None are locked now, including the Jabra which is ReSound one.

It seems the big company on top of ReSound is GN: “GN’s solutions are marketed by the brands ReSound, Beltone, Interton, Jabra, BlueParrott and FalCom…”

I’m located in Germany and there is no Costco here. Interton are offered by many local acousticians. But I’ll consider probably other for the lack of software.

Yeah that’s ReSound part of the GN Group, see the attachment for all the known brands and sub brands.
Ok so your in Germany, you have eBay, you could try there to see what’s available.

Already done, if you’d bothered to see the attachment at the bottom of the picture.

You mean the #2 font at the bottom? Just paste a link to the forum topic and then you can accomplish both.

Besides it doesn’t say Abram!

Hi there, sorry can’t help with Interton, smartfit won’t work with the rebranded models tho.

Cheers

Hi there, great your giving a go, it’s all pretty easy enough but do read the user guides as it’s very helpful for setting up the first time, don’t forget you’ll need the Noahlink wireless programming device.

Hi there, great your giving a go, be sure to do some research and read the user guides before starting, you’ll need the Noahlink wireless programming device as well for your DIY projects
