A little timid after fitting

Hearing Aid Self-Fitting and Adjusting [DIY]
1

All,

After my fitting today, Jabra Pro 20’s model RIC 62 (Takes size 13 disposable batteries), I have some more questions. At this point, with my limited experience, I absolutely don’t seem to need any changes. That may change over time though.

Here’s my conundrum. Having exactly zero hands on experience with actually hooking up to the Pro 20’s with the Noahlink wireless and the Resound 2.0 that I have sitting on ready, the audiologist said one thing that absolutely put the brakes on me actually hooking up to the hearing aids. Maybe she was trying to scare me into not tampering with the settings, which seem to be good to go already. She said that she didn’t mind if someone accessed the hearing aids because there is a log of all activity, and I should be careful as a single wrong click can reset the whole shooting match back to default. No big problem, but its a 225 mile round trip and another appointment to start back at zero.

Since I got the REM adjustments during fitting, and have read something about tweaking too much will discard those, and her statement similar to that, I was wondering if anyone could guide me in a step by step manner so I can export my original settings without risking my on hearing aid settings? Preferably without leaving a log in the hearing aid. Maybe I’m overthinking it.

Also, she said Costco won’t export the setting to a client. I tried.

Yeah your over thinking it all, and your audiologist is scaremongering a little bit, definitely not “one” click" to wipe your settings ,so I’m pretty sure you have both the SmartFit user guide including the fantastic video guide that shows all the basics, I’m inclined to say that if your still unsure about “what to do” and how to go about this is to reread and watch the video again, just so you can get a handle on how things work, also a very simple and easy “simulate mode”, there is also a import/export feature in SmartFit, so you could export the settings to your desktop, remember I mentioned to make up 2 clients, one for your original audiology settings and one for your DIY projects.
You cannot once connected “not” leave a timestamp that the HAs have been connected, but this is a “moot point” anyway because she said she doesn’t really mind, and yes once you start making adjustments the REM is supposed to be recalibrated, so your DIY now so it doesn’t matter, besides you can if you wanted too always ask for REM to be redone (probably at your expense tho)
So just one thing at a time and make the client’s up, connect and save should be a good start.
