Hi all :waving_hand:
New member here and just starting my journey.

I’ve recently picked up a pair of GN ReSound / Jabra Enhance Pro 20 (EP260S-C) aids and a Noahlink Wireless 2. Hardware is inbound, and I’m prepping software + reading ahead.

From what I’ve gathered so far:

  • These should be fully programmable via standard ReSound Smart Fit

  • No retailer / clinic lock or PIN issues

  • Nexia-generation GN platform ( / capable)

I wanted to sanity-check a couple of things with people who’ve actually done this in the wild:

  1. Smart Fit version
    Is there a specific Smart Fit version you’d recommend for first-time DIY on these? (e.g. 1.17 vs newer, or any to avoid)

  2. Beginner DIY guidance
    Any must-read threads, guides, or checklists you’d recommend for:

    • safe first fit

    • avoiding over-amplification / fatigue

    • sensible progression over the first few weeks

  3. Common early mistakes
    Anything you wish you’d not done in week one?

My goal is real-world listening comfort and low fatigue, not chasing perfection. I’m happy to take it slow and methodical.

Appreciate any pointers — and thanks in advance for keeping this knowledge accessible.

Welcome to the forum @Rixelate but it seems you haven’t read any of the user guides with all these questions? What SmartFit version did you get? you’ll need 2.0 for those Jabra. The Costco Jabra are not locked. Follow the instructions in the first fit guide and you’ll be good to go, no need to overthink anything here, and yes good advice to take it ”sensible progression over the first few weeks” a little bit at a time, you don’t post your audogram but a good first fit can be got just by using In-situ audiometry in SmartFit.

Hi Tenkan, In all honesty I haven’t read anything yet, I just purchased my noahlink2 and the jabra’s to work on, and didn’t know what to expect. I came here knowing only 2 things, I needed the software, and some advice on where to start. I should really have just said that but it’s way too easy to tell chatgpt to write a coherent introduction post :sweat_smile:
I’m sure I’ll have many questions over the course of my learning though, I really just wanted a place to start, and ideally a link to the correct software to get started on :grin:
hope that clears up the weird first message haha. I’ll stick to writing my own from now on!
thanks for the warm welcome!

Ha ha yeah no worries, we all gotta start somewhere, so I’m sure you’ll be good to go now, but yes definitely ask questions here on the forum, lots of members to help you along :smiley:
