Thank you for your replies !

The “Tonelink App” sounds very interesting indeed. What an “out of the ordinary” way to communicate with the WIDEX Hearing Aid. And it seems to be available for free on the appstore.

As you wrote, I wont (really) need the Noah Software and the Noah Wireless device.

But I shall recieve the Com-Dex “adapter” in the near future as well.

Would there be any chance explaining to me in 2 simple sentences, what would be the main abilities/differences between NOAH and COMPASS ?

Like, for example, updating the firmware of the WIDEX hearing aid, if possible at all.

Or re-enablign the microphone on the hearing aid, when it got disabled by the technican as its used as a tinnitus device only.

I watched some youtube videos about Compass GPS already and it seems to be massive. :smiley:

Thanks again !

Ok then, Noah software cannot program your HAs, Compass GPS software does.

So updating firmware is all done in compass and yes you can deactivate the tinnitus controller if you wanted.

So getting into the programming you’ll need the ProLink or a HiPro with cables(and possibly “Boots”) could be more hassle then it’s worth (HiPro programming I mean)

For now Im happy with the Widex Magnify App for Android.
Using a Google Pixel, I no longer need the Com-Dex device. Thanks to ASHA (Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids)

Both hearing aids will easily pair with the smartphone via bluetooth and the Magnify App allows rough volume settings and has a simple equalizer and I can stream youtube and phone via bluetooth.

Its not a perfect solution, felt easier and clearer with Com-Dex and sometimes I need reconnects and the hearing aids keep saying “universal” again and again when using apps. I got a lot to learn for sure.

Im guess that CompassGPS’s modifications are far beyond these simple settings then and coudl improve a lot more here ?

Great you found a solution, there’s lots of equalizers can be found on Google Play store.
Yes,compass software is what your audiologist’s uses to program your HAs, so a lot “modifications” can be made.

I’m currently using the Philips 9030 HA from Costco and have done a bit of DIY to impove music and sounds from my guitars. I might have an opportunity this next year to getting hearing aid benefit from a place that sells Widex HA, unlike Costco. I have the NOAH box and would like to get a look at the Compass GPS software for this. I would probably be getting the Widex Moment HA. Is there a link to the latest version of the Compass GPS software and can it be run in a demo mode like the Philips HearLink software or do I first need the Widex HA to run the software? Thanks.

Yes, you can play with the software before having your hearing aids. Just create a client, load an audiogram, choose the hearing aids and check all the possible configurations. When you get your HAs you can transfer those settings if you want.
You can also confirm if your fitting device is compatible with the software (never heard of “NOAH box”)

Hi there, yes sure the software is available, and as already mentioned you can run compass in simulation mode, for the moment models you can use the Noahlink wireless programming device, which I presume you mean you have?

My issue was I was NOT starting the program from the desktop icon which gives you the user name (ADM) and a password as well. Thanks for the help!

Yep got ya, what I do is move the icon to the system tray, that way my desktop is not so cluttered with apps and icons.

Cheers

I need the widex compass gps, too. Can anyone give me it?
Thanks! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I have a new Widex Moment Sheer 440.
The audiologist is remote and doesn’t understand sensorineural hearing loss; I need to configure the channels to accomodate the loss in various frequencies.
I could do this with Compass on my Widex Beyond (I have the usb loop).
Can I get a current version of Compass?
Thanks!

Hi there, sure it’s available, but you could just use the Widex updater to get the latest version if you want, also you may need the Noahlink wireless I believe, not sure that old USB loop programmer would work on the Sheer models.

Hi, i have the widex evoke 440. Does anyone have a download link for the programing software please. Would like to be able to program myself at home as i struggle to find time to visit my audiologist. Thanks

Welcome to the forum sure it’s available, but you’ll also need the ProLink programming device for the evoke, could be a bit expensive now!

Thank you. Would it not be possible to use the noahlink?

For programming Widex EVOKE you need Widex-PRO LINK or older Widex-USBLink (or obsolete NEArCom as programmiing device.

  • NoahLink Wireless only compatible with latest Widex hearing aids: MOMENT / MOMENT SHEER

you can find the information of the programming device inside the Compass GPS if you select the hearing aid and klick onto the " i "

I have managed to find a widex prolink on ebay quite cheap. I also have a pair of Phonak virto m titaniums which i dont get on with. Does anyone have a download link for this please and would i need the noahlink for the phonaks. Thanks

The Noahlink wireless works on the Marvel platform onwards, target software is available and with any DIY project you should check out the user guides.

Thanks. Will read through the user guide
