Hi
sorry to “butt” in. Just wondered where can I get the Genie software? I am waiting for the Hi-Pro (old serial type) I purchased from fleaBay.
It will not include any leads ( I plan to make my own), or software so as I am going to be using it on my Oticon spirit3 (NHS) to start with, I would like to know how can I get hold of Genie?
@ Jimblob
Did you manage to get it working with yours?
Portausb - I have the Genie software and can make you a copy of the CD if you want to send me a stamped addressed envelope. I could not get it working with the Oticon Spirit Zest hearing aids that I have now but am about to get some Oticon Zest CSP aids and will try with those. The CSPs are like the Chili aids (NHS have rebranded them but it seems that Genie needs some other kind of enhancement to get a connection). I found a source for the leads and for the programming shoes, let me know if you need the info.

My apologies for the delay , I was away. Thank you very much indeed for your kind offer. I would be most grateful if you can let me have a copy ogf Genie. may be you can pm me your address and I will send a stamped addressed envelope.
I am interested to know about where you obtained the leads , it would save me hours of work under a magnifier!
Many thanks again, any luck with programming your new aids?
Jimblob
Just wondering if you did have any success programming your Oticon Zest CSP aids?
Yes I was able to do it. However I’ve gone back to my original aids the Spirit Zests as I didn’t need quite so much power.
Jimblob - that’s good to know - I have 2 x Oticon Spirit Zest CSP courtesy of the NHS but having failed so far to get the best out of them I think it’s time for a bit of self-programming. Need to get my Hi-Pro usb first, but hoping I can do the same as portausb and get some info from you?
Jack -
There are a couple of things, you need to get the Hi-Pro, then you need the leads and the ‘shoes’ for your hearing aids, and the software.
With the NHS aids, you can’t program them without a code from Oticon. They will ONLY give you a code if they believe you are NHS or an independent audiologist!
If you want, you can rent my Hi-Pro, leads etc for a month. I can give you the code I have for the CSPs but I’m not sure if it will work on another PC. But you can try…
Jamie
Only if you are NHS or working with the NHS (ordering NHS product), you won’t get it otherwise.
Hi Jimblob!
I would be grateful if you could share the source for the Oticon zest programming shoes…
Many thanks!
This ebay seller - in Norway! No problems . . . http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/bettersenses?ssPageName=ADME:X:CEM:GB:1181
Good luck

Thanks! Now for that code… hmmm lol
Oticon are very protective about these things. As a HPC registered dispenser I called them yesterday to request the equipment and I am still waiting for the call back to see if I am allowed or not.
Fingers crossed eh! 
Looks like connevans may sell what you are looking for.

Thanks hear293 but this is a direct audio input shoe and I was looking for the programming shoe.
Sorry, I did note a pair is on ebay today, Don’t know if it would fit your HA.
I know this is an old post. But do you still have the software?
Hi Jimblob
Did you have any luck with this?
I need my backup Spirit Zest P’s reprogrammed, happy to get the kit and do it myself if I can.
Oh those are NHS models right, so you’ll need the “unlock code” for them, it’s available, but I’d suggest starting a new post/topic, as this is a few year’s old now, I’m sure someone will help out.
These Aids are really old, like more then 10 years old. No one has the unlock code for these. Just the newer NHS Oticon Aids. Same code doesn’t work for both.
That’s a real pain! Grr!
Oh that’s a bummer, but makes sense I guess to change for each platform released.
