MICROTECH Summit iQ I1000 with HiPro 2

I’m trying to program my MICROTECH Summit iQ I1000 BTE 13 hearing aids at home. I’m using a 5X HiPro 2 programmer with CS44 straight cables. The HiPro itself is recognized correctly, but Starkey Inspire X can’t detect the hearing aids.

I’m not sure what the issue is. Maybe I’m using the wrong cables or missing some kind of adapter? Or perhaps the MICROTECH devices require different software instead of Starkey Inspire X?

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes you’ll need multi brand version, @firenzel should be able to help with this, and hopefully they’re not locked.

@osmov

With Starkey Inspire X you can programm MICROTECH Summit iQ , and other Starkey Multibrand hearing aids, like Nuear, Audibel etc…

For startup the multibrand instance of Inspire you have to start Inspire X with an Windows Run Commando

For Starkey multibrand install normal latest Starkey Inspire X and Starkey Patientbase , then startup the software with the Windows Run command.

Press Windows-Key + R and enter the desired command line.

see this thread for more details

@osmov

For programming Microtech

Press Windows-Key and “R” together.

then copy and paste the following string (run commando) into the field and press Enter

C:\Program Files (x86)\Starkey Laboratories\Inspire OS\Starkey.Inspire.Host.PatientBase.exe launch MicroTechFitting

First you see the startup splash screen for the Inspire Microtech instance

Then enter your credentials (Username and Passwort) for your Patientbase account

Inspire will show a screen and ask about your region and language.

voila

Hi @firenzel, thanks a lot for response!

My Inspire version is

I can find my devices in Simulate chapter:

But they are not recognized


.

Did I miss something?

Probably you have the wrong cables.

Yes, you’re right. Now I realize that I have the wrong cables. I’m using CS44, but I need ‘purple’ ones. I’ll try to fix that. Thank you so much!

Let us know if you get the “purple” Starkey ones, they do seem to be near impossible to find anywhere.

You can make yourself an pair of adapter cables. And use the cs40 Phonak with adapter’s. I will send you a picture when I’m back home in the evening

Say what, is it true that Starkey purple are just CS44a cables in disguise, no? Which adaptors fit the Phonak CS44a as the CS44 are for ReSound /Oticon and the OP says he’s using CS44? You’ve mentioned CS40.

My bad , I meant the standard cs44 Phonak cables can be used with an adapter to program Starkey HA. I made the adapter a view years ago and still have the self made adaptors in a drawer.
