I cannot find any information about OPN firmware 6.1 in this file.
Updated to firmware 6.1 in Opns. I did have to re-pair the ConnectClip to the aids. First had to delete the existing pairing for the CC in Genie, then re-pair the CC. It took a good 30 seconds to pair. There is a new bluetooth device supported (EduMic) so the firmware may have changes that require re-pairing.
I also updated to 2019.2 and firmware 6.1 for my OPN 1. I don’t notice anything different except having to repair with my ConnectClip and TV Adapter, which is understandable.
I assume that the new update is primarily for the more newly devices introduced like the EduMic and maybe the newer models. The other minor change is that the selection of enabling the Feedback Shield for each of the programs had now been moved to the Automatics portion of that program, instead of being bunched altogether in the Feedback Analyzer section. That particular move doesn’t do much good except introduces confusion to people who are used to seeing it in one place and now have it disappear on them.

Although I updated my OPN 1 to firmware 6.1 because Genie 2019.2 requires it, I never tried to see if there’s a new firmware update for the ConnectClip and TV Adapter in this new release. Does anyone know if there are newer firmwares for these devices in the 2019.2 release?
No firmware update for the ConnectClip. It’s still at version 1.13.0.
I don’t have a TV Adapter so I don’t know if there is a new update available or not.
Thanks for the info, MikeJ! I just also confirmed that the TV Adapter remains at 2.1.1, no change either.

Excellent answer! I am doing an endzone dance for my first successful self-programming using my new Hi-Pro USB from Amazon. Seems like the best answer, even for OPN users is to set up for cabled connection via Hi-Pro USB, CS44 and ribbon cables due to that firmware update thing.
WRT firmware updates for Alta2 Pro Ti, I have my connection working fine for Genie 1 to the aids. But when I run the Oticon Firmware Updater, it tells me it can’t detect any aids. I have tried running the updater solo and also at the same time as Genie. Genie is connected, Updater is not. There are a couple of strange files in the package with Genie 1 and 2 (Otiset5). They seem like DOS install files and I didn’t need them to re-program the aids. Might the answer lie there? Do you have to run the firmware updater in conjunction with the fitting program or is it stand-alone?
Thanks!
Looks like you are having some fun. Congratulations.
Volusiano is one of the members you need to pay attention to. He knows his stuff with Oticon aids.

Any information about edumic? What’s new
In Genie 1 for Alta2 Pro Ti, what does the “Locked” checkbox make happen in the Acoustics sub-menu?
Thanks.
Hello,
I have moderate hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears. I couldn’t afford the hearing aids that the doctor wanted to sell new to me. So, I bought them on ebay at a price I could manage. Now they say that they won’t program them because they were not purchased through their office.
I have the audiology results/report.
How difficult will it be to be able to update the firmware, program for the hearing loss, and add the four tinnitus programs?
And any idea what it will cost for the equipment to do it?
Or do you know anyone that does this for a reasonable price?
Thank you in advance for any help.
I have Oticon Alta2Pro Ti aids. I bought a USB hi-pro for $240 from Amazon as I needed it fast due to travel plans. 2 ribbon cables for oticons and 2 CS44 cables on eBay set me back about 100. Genie software is free. I found it easy but I’m an electrical engineer. It isn’t that difficult nor is the technical knowledge required overwhelming but it takes awhile to absorb the overarching process that audi’s employ from the structure of the software which is pretty helpful.

What settings do I use to increase the volume on my hearing aid OPN S1 and iPhone X?
You can use the control right on the hearing aids themselves. Or you can have full independent control when using the app. It’s a free download.
Hope that helps.
Sorry @riverwind620, this forum is hidden and requires you to go there to view it, so I don’t frequently go here to view for posts. In Genie 2, you’d go to the Fine Tuning section to adjust the volume. You can adjust everything together, or select your adjustment based on frequency and the loud/medium/soft sound breakdown.
On the iPhone X, you can go to the MFI menu or the Oticon ON app to change volume.
Fred… I can see ‘Fitting Assistant’ in Genie, but not in Genie2… do you know why?
Thanks! Nick
Sorry Nick, I do not know why it was dropped.
Thanks for the response! Kind of a bummer, I used the assistant frequently…
