is there any Linux software that I can program my hearing aids with?

I have assumed with near-certainty that hearing aid management software is proprietary and meant to be used only by audiologists, and they want to keep it that way, to safeguard their revenue; but I want to ask anyway.
Is there any Linux software I could use to program my hearing aids? I bought a slightly used pair online at a huge discount (new hearing aids are expensive!), and the seller (being an audiologist) programmed them for my particular hearing loss; but he forgot (or chose not to) program in the situational audio modes as I requested.
I suppose I could just ask this guy if he'll complete my programming for more money, but it's not my first choice. (Why don't I find a local audiologist? Because they want even more money. The practice I normally go to wanted $650 to program hearing aids that were bought elsewhere. See what I mean? The seller did my basic programming for $100.)
