Need help to download Oticon Genie 2

I should've been more specific i meant to Say Noah link wireless. I work in the IT field, if you referring to that kind of tech lol. I already have programmed hearing aids, but its more just for me to save money as i got my hearing aids for free through OVR.
 
Any appointments after my 30 day follow up which is the 19th, will be out of pocket as my insurance wont cover it. It also seems my audiologist did the bare min to. As i have no other profiles created but the main one. But i currently plan to get the Noahlink wireless off ebay, so i can save money on visits for just basic setting changes.
 
oic; Why are you specifically referencing Feedback/Squeal? Do you have a severe/profound hearing loss? Are your hearing aids producing excessive Feedback/Squeal?
 
Mild to Moderate hearing loss, i keep getting these weird sounds its not a high pitch feedback sound. The audiologist didn't do a lot to fix it but adjust the gain on fitting day.
 
Do you have an Audiogram that you can post? See my Signature line (below) for example. Also, what hearing aid models?

That's a great hearing aid!

HMm; Twenty/20 dB is normal hearing? I guess you do have a Bass hearing loss in the lower frequencies and then (after that) the higher frequencies are a cookie byte type hearing loss, which is difficult to fit.

What is your ability to hear (without hearing aids)?

I think I can hear pretty well without, but In my office environment i can notice that my co-workers with deeper voices can be harder to hear. But at home and in my car Ive been not wearing them until I can get to the bottom of the weird feedback sound. Which upon my research is some sort of noice canceling. Also they distort my cars music, so hopefully the music profile can solve that
 
For age context I'm 23, and a lot of the music I listen to is edm. So I'm assuming the hearing aids are cutting out some sounds by thinking it's feedback. I think tinitis can play a key role in the fitting as it's hard to distinguish the sounds during testing.
 
Yikes! edm music! At Hi decibels!

Your hearing loss is difficult to fit! Maybe the fitting can be improved? I dunno?

Hearing aids are better at helping with typical sky slope type hearing losses (such as mine);

Oh ok, I'll prob just stick to not wearing them in the car then, unless the music profile helps with the weird distortion.
 
Will the software be able to pull the current programming off the hearing aid and will I be able to backup the configuration before messing around?

Yes to both. Though, your Audi will know if you mess around.

Maybe your Audi doesn't know that your fitting sucks? And he/she may or may not know how to correct it?
 
It's not a feedback/squeal issue. It's a difficult/cookie-bite issue.
 
In other words, I don't think a DIY solution will help.
 
Oh ok, I only notice it on the right hearing aid. But i might mention to the audiologist that I may make setting changes myself or should I avoid doing so?
 
They aren't also my audi of choice, I had to go with the one OVR worked with. But another factor in my hearing loss is that I have narrow ear canales do to a tomor in my left side of my face. So earwax builds up easily in my right ear and can reduce my ability to hear out of it a good bit.

That's up to you. Though, I cannot think of a solution for your specific problem. Feedback suppression is not your solution.
 
Oh ok, that sucks but I edited my msg above that it's common for me to get wax blockage that reduces my ability to hear in my right ear. I don't think I mentioned as well that I got a conductive hearing loss.
