Starkey G series

Have a Starkey G series aid for a couple months now.

I had downloaded ProFit and patientbase , and got them to run local without a noalink. Couldn't find a way to load my hearing aid without a Noahlink, but was able to have it load a file for some other Hearing aid. This at least let me browse the settings that happen behind the scenes.

With that, I saw things I wanted different, such as 2db steps instead of the 5db ones when I hit the button on mine. Also made me understand why mine was clipping some frequencies so bad, due to the programming. That led me to demand a new , and now sounds are so much better.

Was thinking of ordering a NoahLink 2 off Amazon.

Would like a little more fine tuning than just the Starkey App provides. Will this work for seeing how mine is set?

Wow yeah you gotta have the Noahlink wireless otherwise it's pointless, please read the user guides as it's very helpful for setting up the first time.

Picked up the Noahlink 2 off amazon. Kept having sql database connection issues in the error logs on that computer, so turned off internet on different computer and loaded patient base and ProFit without an internet connection. Added the Noahlink and brought up the software.

Opened and closed the battery on the hearing aid.... and popped right up.

Options were to Reset Hearing Aid, Continue or Cancel... so cancelled until I at least browse the manual. First thing I want to do is make a copy of what is inside, so I have a way to restore it if I ever need to.

Great now you getting somewhere, but you don't have to make connection just to read the user guides, also there's a demo simulation mode that will help you a lot and yes as you've noticed you don't need internet connection to use and program your .

Will get back to this soon, as headed to get my implant activated in about an hour.

One thing that irritates me the most on the hearing aid, might be a really simple fix for those who know what they are doing.

There are two fans in the living room. I loaded a phone app that gives a decibel reading and peak sound frequency. Says the fan noises are 50 db and around 200hz. That sound gets amplified and blends in with the TV. Can hear it well without the fans, but then my better half gets annoyed with me for turning them off.

Yes it's so it's a common issue for those with good lower frequencys, just need to lower the gains for very soft, low-level background sounds humming etc so look in fine tuning and or the sound manager, Starkey has a pretty good webpage for guides on just about everything you could need.

Connected into the today and browsed around. Went to the fine tuning, and expanded the low frequency settings. Saw where settings were for soft, moderate and loud sounds. The 150 hz was set at 53, and the 500hz at 80, 79 for 750hz and 82 for the 1.1k

Dropped the 500hz to 72. Does seem to cut out a lot of the air/white noise that was bothering me. Figure I'll leave it alone for a bit, and focus on learning to hear with the implant. Don't want to mess anything up. Saved the session before making any changes... then opened a new session and made the change and saved that.

The HA is a G series 24 UP in the left ear, with a Med-El implant on the other.

google's is actually pretty detailed in step by step instructions for the software. going to try to add programs today, make the first one the session I stored with the original settings from the audiologist, and then make the other three ones with tweaks. Then try them to see how the impacts on sound quality. I know I'll never hear like a normal person... but would like it be as good as possible for what my ear can actually do.
