DIY School - (v2.0)

He is using one of the Insio models and he already knows which programming device to use because the program devices for each brand (in this case Signia) and for each model (see a partial clip of the models above) are listed in a DIY School document named (Choose Hardware-Programming Device for Signia).

ive been programming my own for a long long time. my insurance changed and went from starkey to signia. i already have a NOAHlink on order…picked up my new insios today. programmer should be here in a couple days and ive already gotten connexx installed, so im all good…thanks a billion for your help

Suggestion: Maybe you should look at How to change your username because it is difficult for others to differentiate between (user230, user240, user248) etc?

btw> I am not at all sure how the above linked procedure works because I have not tested how to change my username. Also, after 30 days you will no longer have the ability to change your username. :wink:

Good on you for doing DIY, so you’ve ordered a NOAHlink for your Insio, which model have you got AX or NX as there’s wireless programming that could possibly be used.

Nope, the Insio models are not programable using the old obsolete NOAHlink.

Newbie Warning: Be careful not to step in the (Noah, NOAHlink, or Noahlink Wireless) intentional obfuscation which is being spread here. These are three different things!

Yeah as I was thinking, why NOAHLink, but at least he now knows that wireless programming is possible for him depending on the exact model he has, nice.

So after getting Noahlink wireless I was ready to program. I first saved my original setting. Glad I did because second time coming back in to play with settings the program crashed and the program saved to the hearing aids settings I was just learning with. Fortunately I had the original settings. I restored my original settings. The crashed forced me to change my original settings I was nervous I was going to mess things up. I found program modes I had asked my audiologist for and she either lied or didn’t know. I have music mode now and comfort mode for restaurants. She told me I could only have two modes. I now have 5, general, comfort, speak in noise, music, tv mode, Omg had these hearing aids 3 years and asked if it could do more modes and I was told no they only did two settings. Even though I read they did more. Programming was easy thank you for the DIY info. I still have more to learn. I original was just going to get use to using the software and not save any new settings. But the program had other ideas. Well needless to say it pushed me change my settings and glad I did music mode is awesome. Can’t thank you guys enough.

Very important to save you original setting first time in before you touch any thing. Never know when software will crash. Was a very good tip in the DIY school. PVC thank you also.

Awesome, fantastic it’s great to hear of a successful DIY project, even if had a few surprises! yes number one thing is to save those original settings :smiley:
Your a pro now and you’ll save a lot of dollars in the future.

When you say “yes number one thing is to save those original settings” → perhaps you meant that simply as encouragement. But technically it’s incorrect.

Over the years (far past a decade now) we have stumbled over many problems where DIYers get in trouble/fail. So saving your settings is not really the first thing to do. There are other more important considerations. Here’s the sequence as documented is a DIY School PDF file named (02 How to Program Your Hearing Aids); though steps 3 & 4 are more-or-less) simultaneous.

  • First check that your hearing aids are not locked
  • Step 1 – Install Fitting Software on a Windows computer FIRST
  • Step 2 - Purchase a hearing aid programming device
  • Step 3 – Choose (1 of 3) origins for your hearing loss settings
  • Step 4 – Save your Original Professional Settings (if any)

Ha ha ha, oh man still trying to be a pro :wink: “check that your HA isn’t locked” D’OH!
“Install Fitting Software on a Windows computer FIRST” BUUUURP! it’s all really terrible advice, you gotta stop undermining our fellow members ability to know what they’re doing.

Sorry, I couldn’t follow your recently posted logic → on the Poll thread. Likely because that logic was just anger and not genuine.

Okay, how about the rebranded/locked hearing aids issue (of today) which you describe as (**check that your HA isn’t locked” D’OH!*). Maybe you think this is a joke? But @UserDuser is not going to think it’s a joke!

This was said “TODAY”!
@UserDuserLink
I am searching for Connexx 9.X for Audioservice.
Is there any possible download or download link?

@tenkanLink
Maybe check here.
https://forum.hearingtracker.com/search?q=AudioService

He is not going to find the latest AudioService Connexx fitting software using a forum search! He had also just finished saying “but i cant find anywhere:(

In summary, many rebranded hearing are locked and it’s not a “Doh Joke”!

I’m sorry that we are in conflict. I have been doing DIY School (in one form or another) for approximately 1.5 decades now. The primary goal has always been to help the Hoh community and not for the silly reasons you have been making up about my motives.

If you want to be a prolific AnswerBot then you have to make some effort at being correct. Your generic (cover-all-cases) answers ain’t cutting it. Maybe you should calm down and try answering the things that you know are correct instead of TRYNA answer everything.

Seriously! I know you can do better.

Of course you couldn’t follow it, you simply don’t understand logic, you have too inflated an opinion of yourself (egotistic behaviour)

Nope it’s not, but 99% of everyone else isn’t going to have this problem, so you based that on the first thing to do? WOOHO

Maybe you should of said

  1. First thing is wake up.
  2. Make breakfast
  3. Brush teeth
  4. Get kids ready, drop off to school bah bah.

Silly you, you wouldn’t know who has it, he said he couldn’t find it, never mentioned anything about the untold other members on the forum over the years that could possibly help, again not for you to make the decision, we know You can’t find it!

No don’t lie, your not sorry at all, your quite happy with trying your hardest to undermine anyone that doesn’t agree with you.

Ahh nah, I don’t think so, you’ve probably programmed what 3 sets in all this time, Phonak models what you said 7 or so years ago, a couple of Oticon sets, I’ve done hundreds over the last 12 years and worked collaboratively with/sold SeboTek HAs, and programed all from the big 6 ( 5 )

Therein lies your problem, you actually believe that only you could possibly do this, sad fact for you is your not.

Your motives are clear, so how about this, this is how we can see how sincere your trying to make out to be, don’t complain/whinge and whine make snarky remarks everytime someone including myself reply to members asking for help or advice, show your true colours.

This is what I’m talking about with you, you cannot help but be the bully.

I’m not that annoyed, I’m sad for you, because you can’t see what your doing, DIY forum was a place for lively discussion with a lot of dialogue from LOTS of other DIY members, but you’ve definitely turned people away, who’s left just me and you and any newbies.

I too would like to download the latest version of Genie2. I have More1 HAs

Sure, don’t forget you’ll need the Noahlink wireless programming device as well.
Oh and don’t forget the user guide.

Well that’s not exactly true that (you’ll need the Noahlink wireless programming device).

For example; if you already own a Hi Pro or mini Pro along with a pair of cables and flexstrips then you are good to go. Here’s a clip from a DIY School PDF file named (Choose Hardware-Programming Device for Oticon);
