Hearing Aid Fitting DIY School and Fitting Software

[andreanboea]

for any hearing aid program, such as oticon, starkey or phonak, is it already in the Chomobook (chomeOS) version, not for windows OS.

Use Google to read the fitting software Operating system Requirements for each manufacturer. For the Phonak and Oticon requirements listed above, the answer is No.

I just bought Oticon Xceed 1 hearing aids and I am so excited to configure them. Can you good folks please share the Oticon Genie software with me? I am not sure if my Xceed needs the original Genie software or the new Genie 2 software. Your help would be appreciated.

Sure, PM sent, hope these work out for you, let everyone know how you get on.

Xceed requires Oticon hearing aid fitting software Genie2.

Also have iCube. Thanks

@drke Read this link about iCube and Target 6.1

Is Phonak iCube going obsolete on me? Yes it is!

The latest version of Target fitting software (Target 6.2) no longer supports iCube. If that really “chaps your hide” because you are still using iCube there is a workaround: Get hold of Phonak Target 6.1 Uninstall Target 6.2 Install Target 6.1 Don’t take any more updates to Target 6.1 Well, don’t take updates until you can replace your obsolete iCube programming device. Note that the newer iCube II is still supported. At least for now. imo> other proprietary wireless programming devices may…

Looks like you posted in the wrong thread?

No, it was intentional. I like to provide advice about recurring problems on my Featured Topic as opposed to posting on one of the many “Last Try before I throw up!” threads. Though it’s nice to know that you are looking out for me.

Hi, would someone please let me have the source of the new Genie 2 2022 software. Thank you.

[tenkan]

Sure, but don’t forget you’ll need the correct programming device as well for DIY.

[steve_b]

Thanks for your comments. I have the noahlink and the older cables. I am setting up a new laptop and needed the links you sent.

Caution: NoahLink Wireless may not work on some new laptops.

I updated the DIY School PDF file named
(04 Noahlink Wireless - Instructions For Use)
to include information about ARM processors. Here’s an excerpt;

I have the noahlink and the older cables.

Oh, maybe you actually do mean NOAHlink (an old almost-obsolete device and cables) instead of Noahlink Wireless??

Hello all, I am new to the forum. I am looking for the latest Phonak Target software. Can anybody spare a link? Much appreciated.

[tenkan]

Sure, but don’t forget you’ll need the correct programming device as well for DIY.

Apparently, the OS requirements for Genie2 2022.2 have changed. I have been running Genie2 2022.1 with Windows 7 SP2 for quite some time and received this message today. Can someone confirm what Windows version supports Genie2 2022.2?

[tenkan]

No problem here, so are you saying genie will no longer load? but anyways why not just update to win10, it’s easy enough.

[pvc]

Operating System requirements Genie2 (2020);

ETA: Operating System requirements Genie2 (2022.1)
• Windows 10 Anniversary Update, or later (32/64 bit)

Operating System requirements Genie2 (2022.2);

[FredTX]

Thanks, that what I was afraid you were going to say.

W7 is not even supported by MS anymore.
It’s a security risk.
Get w10, quick!

[Terost]

Flashb1024 is correct. Microsoft no longer provide security updates for Windows 7. Windows 10 is much more secure than Win 7.
