In Genie, your left hearing aid appears on the right side of the monitor screen. Can this be changed? What determines the diameter of the vent in the earbud. I have 0.7 mm. I greet all forum members

No it cannot be changed. It is designed to relate to the audiologist view of his/her client. You can get comfortable with that view after some time. Just imagine a person sitting across from you.
What’s an earbud?
This is determined by your hearing loss, at .7mm that’s pretty small, most likely for severe to profound loss, posting your audiogram will help.
Oh, Oticon call these Earmolds. A DIY School PDF file named
(Fitting Instructions Oticon Genie2; More-Own)
has a link (at the very end) to; Genie 2 | 2022.1 Quick Fitting Guide.
The guide has information about Oticon Earmolds starting around pages 24/25.
Your audiologist chooses the vent size based on your hearing loss.
eta: Your (85dB earphone) is usually called a receiver or a speaker.

Tip: As you can see on Page 64, two different Wax Protection filters are used, ProWax miniFit for your 85 miniFit receivers, and ProWax for your Earmolds. Though maybe because you have the earmolds, you could get by with only replacing the outer ProWax filters, as the inner ProWax miniFit filters are well protected. But that’s Your call??

What model are your HAs, looks like the older Alta or similar using the programming shoe.
Yeah your molds are the hard acrylic, nice and easy to clean.

Maybe Alta RITE: https://wdh02.azureedge.net/-/media/oticon-us/main/download-center/ria2/ifu/151824us-alta2nera2ria2-rite-instructions.pdf?rev=C26E&la=en
I also was looking for that option in Preferences but seems it is not a customizable view. Used to orientate by color. But yeah, was confusing at first 
Oh btw> If you have the urge to replace the inner ProWax miniFit filter on your 85 miniFit receivers be aware that it’s not exactly simple. It requires a tool. Worse yet there are two different tools;
- tool for 60 miniFit receivers
- tool for 85 miniFit receivers

My hearing aids are Oticon Alta 2. Now I have fitted the Genie almost perfectly. My audiologist offered to buy new hearing aids. I tested the latest Siemens Signia hearing aids. They have a lot more features than mine. But all I care about is a good understanding of speech. I wonder if you have successfully treated bilateral degeneration of auricle. It is a genetically progressive disease.
Sorry, I am not an Audiologist (AuD). I am just a DIYer.
Hi, upgrading Genie appears to have removed the code that allowed me to program my NHS Oticon Engage aids and I cannot find the note I made recording it.
Is someone able to help please?
Thanks.
I have all the software i need and I have a Noahlink wireless device. I have been self programming my Phonaks for a couple of years so Im good there. I just ordered a new pair of Oticon Own 1’s CIC, BUT I am getting the ones WITHOUT the 2.4 module. So my question is there a device I can buy that will allow me to program these new aids with the Genie software? I know it will need to be wired but I can’t find anywhere in this forum that tells me what specifically I will need here. any help is appreciated.

Ok so it’s really easy to check in Genie for the exact requirements, so just make up a demo/simulation client and you will then be able see the exact device that you need including what cables, same as target and other manufacturers software.

I have these, the silicone domes wouldn’t stay in place. My audi calls them “canal locks”. Very small vent.
