Acoustic Options All BTE models covered in this Fitting Guide can either be fitted with a conventional earhook or with the miniFit thin tube system. Traditional earhooks are used with a custom earmold. The thin tube system can be combined with a variety of different domes and customized ear pieces. All Compact Power Plus, Power and Nano BTEs need to be fitted with the miniFit thin tube system. All BTEs also allow custom fittings with a Custom Mold and Lite Tip.

Using the FM Adapter The Compact Power Plus and Power BTE hearing instruments are compatible with all commonly available ear level FM systems (FM receivers). The connection is established via the Europlug. Choose the FM adapter also when attaching a CROS microphone unit to the hearing instrument.
Using the DAI Adapter Direct Audio Input (DAI) enables the hearing aid to receive signals directly from external sources such as a TV, personal stereo, PC audio output, MP3 player, etc. The DAI Adapter comes with two adjustable trimmers.
Use the trimmer on the front to adjust the individual volume.
The trimmer on the top selects the input impedance.

FittingLINK Programming with FittingLINK FittingLINK is a wireless programming interface which allows fitting of all wireless hearing instruments. FittingLINK is connected to the PC via the provided dedicated Bluetooth® dongle or USB cable. The FittingLINK Instructions for Use, provided in the packaging, contains important information about the product, its functions and pairing it with the PC. Please read the Instructions for Use carefully before using FittingLINK with EXPRESSfit. Getting Started Please prepare FittingLINK and pair it with your PC, as described in the FittingLINK Instructions for Use. When opening EXPRESSfit the first time after FittingLINK has been installed on the PC, it will automatically be detected as a programming interface. A dialog will offer to change your preferred programming interface to FittingLINK. This can be done any time later in Preferences – Communication. Thereafter FittingLINK can be used in EXPRESSfit.
Sonic · Fitting Guide19
Detecting and Programming Hearing Instruments Make sure that FittingLINK is paired with your PC, fully charged, and switched on (steady green light on the top LED indicator). For safety reasons the hearing instruments should not be in the client’s ear during detection. To ensure a good connection, make sure that the hearing instruments are aligned the correct way towards the FittingLINK neck loop antenna. Refer to the FittingLINK Instructions for Use. Open EXPRESSfit and click Detect. If FittingLINK is not selected as the default programming interface, select the FittingLINK option from the pull down menu besides the Detect button.
Verify Right and Left Hearing Instruments In the Detect Hearing Instruments dialog, you can play a tone in each hearing instrument to identify to which side it is currently assigned. If the assignment is correct, click “Next”. If you would like to change the assignment, click “Exchange” and then click “Next”.
Thereafter the fitting process is the same. For troubleshooting, please also refer to the FittingLINK Instructions for Use.
