A collection of scripts which check hearing aids fitting software directly from their own update servers.
This project ("The Checker") contains scripts which can check hearing aids fitting software (such as Phonak Target) directly from each own update servers with APIs, so that you can easily know if there is a newer version available, and check corresponding files.
This project currently supports:
- Sonova
- Demant
- Oticon Genie 2
- Oticon Genie
- Bernafon OasisNXT
- Sonic ExpressFit
- Philips HearSuite
- GN
- WS Audiology
- Signia Connexx

- Starkey
- Starkey Pro Fit
- Starkey Inspire OS
- Hearing Aids Fitting Software Update Checkers ("The Checker" itself)
The latest release version of The Checker is available here: https://github.com/JediLin/Hearing-Aids-Fitting-Software-Update-Checkers/releases/latest
NOTE: You need to have the latest version of Python installed for this to work.
You can also get the latest release version via The Checker's built-in "Self Update Checker" option.
If you don't want to wait for the proper release, the fresh pre-release work-in-progress version is available here: https://github.com/JediLin/Hearing-Aids-Fitting-Software-Update-Checkers/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
NOTE: You can also get the pre-release version via The Checker's "Extra & Legacy Software Update Checkers" option.

WARNING: The Checker always tries to upgrade pip and some used Python packages. If you are using Python for other reasons and need to keep particular version, be advised to make your own backup or prepare a seperate environment.
The following steps only need to be done ONCE on each system:

- Modern hearing aids fitting software usually works with Noahlink Wireless or Noahlink Wireless 2 devices. Please check their device driver and firmware update manually at https://www.himsa.com/himsa_download/noahlink-wireless-downloads/
- Starkey fitting software (Pro Fit or Inspire OS) needs PatientBase to work with. Please check manually at https://patientbase.starkeyhearingtechnologies.com
- Some less common hearing aids software can be checked via their official websites:
- Audina ezFIT
- AUSTAR Fit and older software can be found here or here
- NewSound Fit
- Persona Medical ProFit
Note: these software WON'T be included in The Checker.
Modern hearing aids fitting software which supports Noahlink Wireless and/or Noahlink Wireless 2 programming interface should be certified BEFORE release. This means one can check Certified Noahlink Wireless and Noahlink Wireless 2 Modules for upcoming version of fitting software before its release.
