  • Publication number: 20170235565
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes some examples of methods, systems, and machine readable media which deliver firmware updates to a computing device of a hearing professional while requiring little or no user interaction. For example, the firmware patches may be delivered in a way that does not require administrator access on the computer. In various embodiments, the updates may only require periodic access to a network (e.g., the Internet), the updates may not require the fitting software to be running, and/or the updates may not even require a user to be logged in to the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20140270288
    Abstract: Disclosed herein, among other things, are systems and methods for displaying wireless interference for a wireless hearing assistance device programmer. One aspect of the present subject matter includes a method including measuring levels of wireless interference over wireless communication channels using fitting software configured for a wireless hearing assistance device programmer. The levels of measured wireless interference over time are displayed on a graphical display in communication with the wireless programmer. In various embodiments, displaying the measured wireless interference levels includes using a moving line graph with multiple lines, with each of the multiple lines representing one of the wireless communication channels.

  • Patent number: 8644537
    Abstract: Provided herein is a system for adjusting parameters for binaural hearing assistance devices. A graphical user interface (GUI) control is provided for adjusting at least one parameter for at least one hearing assistance device. In various embodiments, the control is indicative of status of at least one parameter for at least one device. When a pointer, controlled by a mouse or other selecting device, is placed over the control, the control expands. In various applications the control expands to display options for adjusting at least one parameter for at least one device. In some applications, the control provides options to adjust at least one parameter of a left and a right device individually.
