Anyone with hearing loss would do well to continue with annual

My audiologist uses some Windows based software to access the hearing
aids,


I'm sorry to hear that. Pity they couldn't have used a less mediocre
platform.


Yep.

I'd like a copy, and I don't buy any safety arguments. But I don't
know how to analyze the results of a hearing test and convert that
into hearing aid settings.


Have you considered that the software takes care of that?


That occurred to me after hitting send. That might be where my original
settings came from, but I had a few visits, interviews and 2 adjustments
so far.

I'm not upset that I don't have the software. It's probably just as
well.


Is the software a proprietary app that is written by and for the
hearing aid manufacturer?


I'm sure.

The manufacturer is Phonak...

okay, my audiologist told me the software wasn't available, but here it
is:

THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE BY UNQUALIFIED PERSONS AS A NON-HEARING CARE
PROFESSIONAL CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY. PHONAK IS EXEMPT FROM ANY
LIABILITY WHICH OCCURS BY SUCH UNAUTHORIZED USE.

Looks like Phonak sells instructions:
