Widex Moment

A Hearing aid that doesn’t sound like a hearing aid

Until now, the hearing aid users have been forced to accept that no matter how good hearing aid is, it will always sound like a hearing aid. It is often described as artificial and hearing through the microphone.

Getting used to a hearing aid can be a stressful experience for a first time wearer . Widex Moment has found a way to deliver the most natural and undistorted sound ever offered in a hearing aid. From this “Moment” all other hearing aids will be compared to this one.

Why does a hearing aid sound like a hearing aid?

One of the reason lies in the fact that the sound processed in the hearing aid reaches the ear drum later than the directly transmitted sound that travels through the ear. Hence the sounds arrive out of sync and sound is distorted.

How does Widex Moment work ?

It adapts the ZeroDelay Technology provides an ultrafast signal pathway which to eradicate the problem of delay-based distortion, resulting in clear natural sound. The ultrafast signal pathway reduces the processing delay between microphone and receiver to below 0.5 msec . Then the ZeroDelay engine combines the input from all key components into one pure, seamless sound experience, including the Dual-mic input control which ensures the optimal use of the input from the dual microphone array, the ZeroDelay Accelerator and Amplifier. This part of the process ensures pure and clear sound .

New Receiver Technology

Unlike most receivers, which are made of plastic, the new receivers in the Widex Moment mRIC RD are engineered from stainless steel. This means that they can be manufactured smaller , providing better comfort and durability.

Natural Sound powered by Artificial intelligence

Moment is an artificially intelligent hearing aid that can learn how an individual user wants to hear in the moment and update their sound experience through the SoundSense Learn App.

RECHARGE-ABILITY with discreetness

Although the mRIC model is the market’s smallest rechargeable receiver-in-canal hearing aid, you can rest easy knowing you’ll have all the power you need to hear every moment.

BUILT TO LAST

WIDEX MOMENT™ is designed to reduce the risk of moisture damage with it’s advanced water-resistant nano coating and durable microphones. With no battery door in the rechargeable hearing aid, there are fewer gaps for moisture to sneak into and less corrosion means more durability.

Widex Beyond - made for iPhone

Beyond the ordinary

Widex have taken their hearing instruments to beyond the ordinary by providing connectivity to iPhones.

Wearers can now hear phone conversations through their hearing aids, can hear music from their iPhones through the devices and can use their iPhones to control their hearing aids.

The new range of instruments is called the Widex Beyond and the new feature is called Made for iPhone (MFi). Many of the features in the special app can also be used with android phones.

The Widex Beyond personalised app allows wearers to use intuitive commands on their phone’s screen to adjust the volume on each hearing aid individually, choose speech and comfort settings, and set microphone directionality.

Wearers can also use the app for troubleshooting and can even use their iPhone to find their hearing aids if they are lost.

Widex says its Beyond devices also offer better power consumption than other MFi-streaming hearing aids, which is a huge plus because with some MFi-linked devices, batteries may be reduced - depending on use.

The Widex Beyond hearing instruments have an innovative integrated signal processing chip-set design with full independent channel separation, minimal-delay filters, and four A/D converters, meaning clear sound for users.

Other features include

·       Wide dynamic range so the wearer to optimise sound based on their environment

·       Wind-noise reduction, which gives up to 30% better speech understanding in windy conditions, and

·       Allowing firmware updates so the device can be updated via the phone, without needing to visit an audiologist

Possibly the smallest IIC in the market - Phonak Virto B-titanium

Phonak Virto B-Titanium

Big gains from the mighty miniature

Phonak’s tiny new hearing instrument offers big advantages and opens the door to people who haven’t been able to wear in-the-canal devices.

The key to the Phonak Virto B-Titanium - possibly the smallest IIC on the market - is that its shell is made from titanium, renowned for its strength and durability.

This means the device can be made smaller, giving hope to people whose small ear canals have meant this style of aid has not been an option, while the greater strength also allows more venting to reduce the occlusion effect - your voice echoing when you speak.

On top of that the aid has a more powerful receiver meaning these devices will cater to people with a greater hearing loss.

That’s exciting news for hearing-aid users.

Phonak says the shell now can be as thin as 0.2mm, which is 50% thinner than existing acrylic shells and is more crack-resistant.

On top of this the electronic components are 60% smaller than in existing models resulting in a hearing aid that’s 26% smaller, while the fit rate has jumped a massive 64%.

In summary, it’s discreteness meets versatility and power

•         26% size reduction resulting in a 64% increase in fit rate

•         Bigger venting for better management of occlusion

•         A more powerful receiver to cater for greater hearing loss

If you haven’t been able to wear an in-the-canal hearing aid before, NOW is the time to try again and enjoy listening to the things you always loved.
