A brief history of Widex hearing aids

Widex is a Danish digital hearing aid manufacturer and was originally a family business. In early 2019, they merged with another hearing aid manufacturer, Sivantos. The combined company is called WS Audiology, but the identities of Widex and Sivantos will undoubtedly remain separate.

Widex hearing aids have their own unique sound, which is often described as much softer and more comfortable than other manufacturers' hearing aids. In the UK, they own Bloom Hearing, so don't be surprised if they recommend Widex or, possibly now, Sivantos hearing aids to you. 

If you're struggling to understand the make and model names of Widex  hearing aids, then here's a simple guide to help:

Technology levels - 440, 330, 220, 110

Here are the Widex hearing aid styles and technology.  The higher the number, the higher the technology level and the higher the price.

The behind-the-ear models tend to come in 2 styles. The Passion is a tiny RIC and is probably the prettiest hearing aid ever made. The Fusion is a slightly larger (but still quite small) RIC, but it has additional features that the Passion does not.

Reviewing Widex hearing aid technology

Special features

The Widex Sound picks up a broad range of sounds, so you can hear gentle sounds at the same time as the loud ones, without the loud sounds ever being too loud. Taking the idea of taking a picture using a camera, the Widex sound uses the widest possible 'lens' to take an accurate picture of the sound around you.

Machine Learning

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence in which algorithms learn from information and experience, recognise patterns and make improved choices by themselves based on feedback from their previous decisions.

The latest Widex hearing aids use SoundSense Learn technology to help hearing aid users decide on the best sound settings for their particular environment.

Using a dedicated app, the user chooses from one of two sound profiles, then listens and compares the sound profiles and chooses their preference from each one.

These choices are put into the system and added to a vast database of the preferences of Widex hearing aid users worldwide, where the process continues and new sound profiles are shown to other users.

This helps Widex continually improve the sound experience based on millions of individual preferences of Widex users in similar sound environments across the globe.

Fluid Sound Analyser

With the Fluid Sound Analyser technology, Widex hearing aids automatically respond to distinct listening environments, and the system dynamically adjusts device settings to these distinct environments. 

This function, known as SoundClass Technology, reduces the need for extra specialised programs. It differentiates between speech and voice environments to allow automatic optimal settings for any setting.

Z-Power Rechargeability

Widex’s Z-Power Rechargeable system has the largest energy capacity relative to all other 312 rechargeable batteries and performs better than other rechargeable options in its class by more than 20%.

These Widex hearing aid batteries can be charged repeatedly without losing much of their capacity and have enough power for a full day’s use.

Unlike lithium-ion devices, the battery is removable. This means they can be easily swapped with standard zinc-air batteries at any time, which is great for those times when mains charging is unavailable.

Accessories for Widex hearing aids

What Widex hearing aid accessories are available?  The Widex COM-DEX is one of Widex’s most popular accessories. It helps you connect your Widex hearing aid to your smartphone and other devices. You can easily stream high-quality sound from most mobile phones to your hearing aids hands-free.

Usually worn conveniently around the neck, the COM-DEX connects directly to your hearing aids so that you can operate them remotely with the COM-DEX app: a simple-to-use and handy way to adjust volume, sound direction and program settings.
