Must be annoying he called you a troll before you could call him one, Jakey.
…and you’d been doing so well.
kenny you need to figure out the difference between a troll and an asshole who could care less about making friends. its his money hes welcome to piss it away anyway he pleases.

You mentioned people blowing smoke and soon leaving these forums. That’s only because of people like you jake. They see their threads being hijacked by jerks so they move on. I don’t know why the moderator hasn’t banned you a long time ago. I went through and read your posts. They amount to nothing but one line insults and cussing. You really need to get a life if it’s not too late for you. I’m sure you’re getting up there in age, it shows.
Ibanez, Jake is a fixture. He has had multiple logons revoked. He can be helpful when he’s not in his manic stage. There is an ignore feature you can exercise should you wish not to not see his posts.
Thanks pvc for the suggestion. I not sure I’m wanting to take some courses at this time. I am an engineer along with 30 years of computer experience so I’m not one to put my all my care into an audi when it’s obvious to me that he knows less than I do. That’s why I decided to purchase my own programmer. I’ll take the time to learn what I need to to make it happen. It’s too bad that jake hijacks these threads. If this forum is not here to help people then it has no purpose IMO. I can tell that you’re here to help. I read your other post and I appreciate that. Thanks again.
Thank you Ken. I will try and use that feature. It’s too bad this thread is shot at this point. I wish the moderator could go through and clean it up. I really came here to do something good for myself and hopefully help others along the way.
I take that back pvc. I did register and watching the online courses. Thanks!
Added: These videos are very helpful. Just what I needed.
I bet my next retirement check i know as much as anyone on this forum about Siemens hearing aids, minitek, easytek, voi elink, tvlink or anything else Siemens makes forhearing aids… including Connexx. If you had a question you should have asked in your first reply. Have you noticed that no one is coming to your rescue. Most folks who claim to be smarter than their AuDs for some reason always seem to be ‘engineers’
I wish my audi could program my aids in minutes 
Does anyone know what protocol the Spatial Configurator App uses to communicate with the easyTek? I’d love to port the app to Windows Phone 8 (I know, but it was supplied by work).
Also, using the stereo cable to TV with the FM Transmitter cuts the TV speakers out. I’d like my wife to be able to hear too and I really only need the voice amplified not the music etc. How do other people watch tv with other people?
seriously? my boy kenny will be along to hold your hand since you dont seem too bright. you really string a cable from the TV to the easytek?
Hopefully your boy kenny knows the difference between an FM Transmitter and the easyTek.
Let me rephrase: What is the best way to watch TV with a partner?
I wear my hearing aids. My wife doesn’t need them. We turn on the TV and watch. I’m not sure I’m hearing as well as she does but I don’t ask her what people are saying as much as I used to. I tried using a streamer at one point but missed the bass that our soundbar puts out so now I just watch like I used to (except I wear my hearing aids)…
Hi andym,
I understand there might be a filter on this forum to filter out background noise. You might want to enable it for doc jerk.
with remotely modern aids why would anyone be running a cable from the TV to the aids. you guys pay a shitload of $$ for aids then jury rig crap like this. get the easytek and tvlink connect properly and you can adjust your volume independantly and your partner can adjust the tv normally.
Hi Ibanez,
I just got a pair of Siemens Binax Carat 5bx aids, and I’m looking forward to programming them myself. I have a Hi-Pro and some cables. Preliminary reading suggests I need to get a specific “programming pill” that fits in the battery compartment, and Connexx 7.4. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Feel free to PM me if you prefer.
Thanks,
Dave
I’ve got Connexx 7.3. Am I missing anything important that was added to version 7.4? So far seems to be managing the features I need.
Hey, Jakey: I spent the money because I can make adjustments here at home. Better than making an appointment with an AuD so he can adjust things to Bach’s B-Minor Mass and then find that I need a different program to enjoy Mahler’s Symphony #5.
I can fine tune my aids as often as I want, in the comfort of my home, whenever the mood strikes.
That doesn’t discount what the AuD’s can do. No way I will be able to do what they can, but when it comes to wanting a little more sharpness from the violins, that’s hardly worth the trip. I can work the sliders for an hour at a time if I want. Pretty hard to get that attention from an AuD, don’t you think.
All in all, worth every penny. It’d be cheap at twice the price. Or maybe I have more money than you?
Most folk are happy to set them and forget them… I’ve never spent money for aids and have access to more equip and software than most but it’s all you got to do enjoy yourself
I probably don’t understand, you’ve never spent money for aids, of for the programming software? If it’s that you’ve never paid for aids, did you get yours free? How? If you don’t have aids in the first place, well, I’m speechless…
As for nothing else to do, I have plenty. Like listening to music/playing my french horn. The quality of my hearing is a very high priority in my life. I enjoy working with it, sure. But it’s not like there aren’t a lot of other things I enjoy, it’s that it ranks high on the list.
