Someone asked for an older version of the fitting software, older than (Connexx 9.11.15/RexFit9.11.15) for Kirkland Signature 7.
I believe that KS7/Kirkland Signature 7 (aka; (Rexton 80 6c, TruCore/6c Platform) can be fit with (Connexx 9.11.15/RexFit9.11.15).

But first, lets look at some other issues or prerequisites;
  • Typically, the fitting software does not "List" rebranded hearing aid models (such as KS7's). But the fitting software can still find the rebranded model when you try to connect.
  • Noahlink Wireless cannot be used for many Legacy hearing aids. See last part of the first page in this → KS 7.0 Data Sheet. It says; (Wired programming with 312 programming adaptor, Wireless programming with ConnexxLink).
Translation for (Wired programming with 312 programming adaptor) = (Hi Pro or mini Pro, Plus a pair of industry standard CS44 cables, Plus a pair of programming pills size=312).

Cable to connect mini Pro/Hi Pro to your PC

Standard CS44 Programming Cables (same as Oticon Programming Cable #3)

Pay attention to alignment when you connect the CS44 cables to the Programming Pills. The CS44 cable has a red dot that aligns with a red dot on the Programming Pill connector for visual alignment. There is also physical indentations that will only allow the cable to be connected in the correct orientation. Here’s some pictures to show the correct orientation. The pictures are with Flexstrips (not programming pills) but the orientation is the same as programming pills.

Here’s a picture of the programming/adapter/pills. Careful; There are different pill sizes that equate to different battery sizes.

Careful with positioning of the Contacts. You may need to remove the Red/Blue "side" markers;

You can also use ConnexxLink. But do some research first about this old device.

Maybe the proprietary battery dies and you can't find a replacement?

I don't know if you can continue to use ConnexxLink with a dead battery by leaving it plugged into an alternate power source?? Maybe someone who owns a ConnexxLink can clarify?? Also I think you need to wear it around your neck (or move your hearing aids close to the ConnexxLink) to be in close proximity to your hearing aids.

Recommended reading from DIY School Legacy Hearing Aids (v2.2) = PDF File (Evolution of the Hearing Aid Programming Devices).
  • You can find the access portals on my main topic here → DIY School Hearing Aids (v2.2).
  • You can easily find the Access Portals again/anytime, by clicking any PVC Avatar (click twice - counting the 2nd popup Avatar)
  • When logged in, you can find the Access Portals again/anytime, by clicking a Link in my Signature line. The Signature (visable when logged in) is appended to any/all PVC forum posts.
  • And finally, you can perform a simple Internet search for "DIY School Hearing Aids"
