1 Introduction to HI-PRO2

The HI-PRO2 Hearing Instrument Programming Unit together with fitting software
and programming cables constitute the complete HI-PRO2 system. The HI-PRO2
hardware serves as a standardized interface between a PC and programmable hear­ing instruments.

Connection to the PC is by means of the supplied USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable.
The USB connection both establishes the electrical power and the data com­munication between the PC and the HI-PRO2.

On the cabinet front two 6-pole mini-DIN connectors for the cables to the pro­grammable hearing instruments facilitate programming of both a left and a right
hearing instrument.

The PC software for programming the hearing instrument (Fitting Software) and the
cables for connecting hearing instruments to HI-PRO2 are supplied by the hearing
instrument manufacturer.
