There are different methods of programming the Phonak Audéo B depending on the model. On Page 5 in the this link (Phonak Audéo B Product information) the following methods are specified;
- Audéo B-312 Wireless via iCube II or Wired via mini pro/Hi Pro
- Audéo B-312T Wireles via iCube II or Wired via mini pro/Hi Pro
- Audéo B-13 Wireless via iCube II or Wired via mini pro/Hi Pro
- Audéo B-10 Wireless via iCube II
- Audéo B-R Wireless via iCube II
- Audéo B-Direct Wireless via Noahlink Wireless
For both methods (wired and wireless programming) you will need version 5.0 or higher of Phonak Target fitting software. Note that you cannot use the Target Update feature to get to version 5.0. You must start with downloading version 5.0 or higher. Note that Phonak allows wireless Firmware updates to some hearing aids via iCube II.

This is a mini Pro;
