Does anyone have experience with using 100DB speakers instead of 85DB
The Speaker is actually named a Receiver in Hearing Aid nomenclature;
Here’s a Link to a UTube video; How to change an Oticon receiver

Thank you for helping a newbie sound less dumb. I am guessing the higher DB is for people with hearing loss in the upper range? Does the 100DB Receiver allow for adjusting the higher range band then the 85DB Receiver?
I don’t give individual fitting advice. Though here’s a couple of Tips;
- Run Oticon Genie2
- Make a dummy client, Joe Blow
- Click some points (any points) on one side of the audiogram
- Copy the same audiogram points to the other side
- At the next (Welcome) step click SIMULATE (don’t connect your hearing aids)
- At the SELECTION Step Choose some hearing aids (FAMILY, STYLE)
- At the same SELECTION Step Choose Fitting Level 85 an one side and 100 on the other side
- Gaze upon how the two different Receivers Fit your audiogram and whether your audiogram loss is inside or outside the range of your receiver power
ETA> To see a more stark difference choose a 60 receiver on one side and a 105 receiver on the other side.
Thank you. This helps.
Hi, can someone help me find Selectic hearing aid fitting software? Obvious, Selectic ultime pro is Oticon Ria Pro but cannot be fited with Oticon Genie.
Though I could be wrong; I believe that you would need to use Genie along with a password, as opposed to using fitting software from Selectic.
Where to get the password is of course an additional obstacle. Here’s an excerpt from the DIY School PDF file named (02 How to Program Your Hearing Aids);
I solved the problem 
, Thank You!
But I haven’t solved the problem with Novasense Elite yet, I still need Aura:fit AudioNova software… 
I am unsure if you are referencing this readily available United HealthCare Relate Aurafit?? Here’s an excerpt from (Fitting Software Links and Sources) where the link is clickable. See the OP/Original Post for a link.
… I can’t believe I missed this … thanks again!
My Bad! I should have done a better job of alphabetizing that list of (Other less-common fitting software).
I fixed it!
I just upgraded from OPN 1 to OPN S1s and I am hearing “S” sounding like “SH”. Sea sounds like She.
The interesting part is it happens on mostly mens voices when I have the volume high
Is this something I need to get used to or is programming needed?
Maybe try Search and scroll → Search results for 's sounds sh' - Hearing Aid Forum - Active Hearing Loss Community
Hint: maybe frequency lowering
Just to be clear; I posted a blue link above which links to a forum search showing topics that mention the phrase “S sounds SH”. You can click the blue link and then scroll down the resultant list of forum topics that mention the “S sounds SH” phrase. My intent was to encourage using the forum search tool by providing an example.
The reason I am posting this explanation is because I don’t see any count for the number of link clicks. So maybe the blue link was never clicked or maybe the forum forgot how to count number of link clicks??
If you don’t find an answer via forum search please open a separate topic for your specific “S” sounding like “SH” problem.

For those interested in programming multi brand starkeys (such as Audibel, Microtech, etc) I was able to get Inspire x 2021 working with MicroTech by changing the target link for Inspire with Patientbase from
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Starkey Laboratories\Inspire OS\Starkey.Inspire.Host.PatientBase.exe”
to
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Starkey Laboratories\Inspire OS\Starkey.Inspire.Host.PatientBase.exe” launch MicroTechFitting

Thanks for that. It is very interesting!!
Yep, that seems to work. I wonder if it will also work for Audibel, AGX, and NuEar? I will test some more.
I created a shortcut to C:\Program Files (x86)\Starkey Laboratories\Inspire OS\Starkey.Inspire.Host.PatientBase.exe. Then I right-button clicked the shortcut and selected Properties to add launch MicroTechFitting on the end;

I wonder if this works on Signia Connexx software as well? For their respective rebrands.
