Widex Evoke Hearing Aids

Reviews, Styles, Features & Benefits

SUPERSEDED HEARING AID

 

2020 Update:  This model has now been superseded by the Widex Moment range.

The Widex Evoke range is the latest from Widex including Machine Learning, in the Fusion2 model.  This model, like the rest from this manufacturer, combines style, functionality and technology together - the typical characteristics of the Widex design.

Widex claims that this particular range is their ‘era of intelligent hearing and boasts that the quality and clarity of your hearing experience will organically evolve – in real time.  To put it simply, Evoke analyses data as you wear your hearing aids, and constantly learns as you go.  The overall result is that you will hear as perfectly as possible.

The idea is that you can take the reins and control your hearing aids.  Or choose to relax and let Evoke take over, for a more carefree lifestyle and bespoke listening experience - an ideal option for an active lifestyle, within a fast-paced world.

What makes them so intelligent?

 

SoundSense technology

Using the SoundSense technology your hearing aids will develop a deeper understanding of your lifestyle, as you personalise your hearing situations.  We are impressed with the smartness of Evoke and the fact that it learns every day.  So, today’s experience will be even better tomorrow.

We personally like the way you can control your hearing needs with a touch of your fingertips and that all this data is so easily accessible and discreet.  Evoke knows the difference between jazz and rock music.  It knows the difference between how a conference sounds and how a dinner party sounds.  In addition, it will adjust to you on the go, as it deciphers your location and environment, using the Fluid Sound Analyser.

You can also take control and teach Evoke how you want to hear sound with two sound profiles, in the Sound Sense Learn feature.  So, you can listen to music your way, as many times as you wish.

Another handy tool, that’s great for those noisy social gatherings, is the Fluid Sound Controller.  You can filter unwanted sound, that might disturb your hearing conversations, so you hear what you want to hear.  But, in a quiet one-to-one coffee catch up – you might choose to hear all the details that surround you.

Widex Evoke Hearing Aids

Widex Evoke hearing aids never forget

This Evoke is so smart it never forgets.  However, because these hearing aids are so smart – you might forget you are wearing them!  Which, comfort-wise, is always a good thing. 

This is due to the SoundSense Adapt technology, it never forgets the changes you have made in the past.  So, when you are having a coffee with a friend in a new spot, it adapts your sound experience using settings from similar situations. 

Widex Evoke Hearing Aids

 Great personalised listening experiences at your fingertips

 

What if I don't want to take charge of my listening experience?

Well, in all honesty, this hearing aid is not for you.  Evoke is for those who have an active and social lifestyle - who want to control their hearing situations at a drop of a hat.  But, for instance, if you wanted the 'day off', so to speak, you can use the Universal program, which automatically adjusts your hearing wants and needs by judging your environment. 

Together with the Fluid Sound Analyser and Controller - you have the best auto pilot there is!

Common FAQs about Widex Evoke hearing aids

Is this the best model for me?

If you are looking at this page then it is likely that an audiologist has suggested that you purchase this particular hearing aid, so is this the best model for you?

In general, any audiologist will always be recommending to you the model that best suits your needs. Here is a useful check list to make sure that is the case.

  • Audiologist level of knowledge. The audiologist you have seen will hopefully have a wide knowledge of all available hearing aids, however some will only be familiar with a small number of brands and therefore may not really be in a position to know which model is the best for you. It is OK to challenge their recommendation and ask them to justify why this particular brand is the one for you.
  • Do research. Read about the hearing aid that was recommended. Does it seem like it will suit your lifestyle? Does it have more or less features than you need? 
  • Be aware of sales targets. Many high street retailers have specific tie-ins to a particular manufacturer/brand. The hearing aid they have suggested may still be the correct one for you, but do your research so that you know why they might have recommended it.

If in doubt, feel free to give us a call. That's what we're here for.

Do I need one hearing aid or two?

If you have a significant hearing loss in both ears, you should be wearing two hearing aids. Here are the audiological reasons why:

Localisation. The brain decodes information from both ears and compares and contrasts them. By analysing the miniscule time delays as well as the difference in loudness of each sound reaching the ears, the person is able to accurately locate a sound source. Simply put, if you have better hearing on one side than the other, you can't accurately tell what direction sounds are coming from.

Less amplification required. A phenomena known as “binaural summation” means that the hearing aids can be set at a lower and more natural volume setting than than if you wore only one hearing aid.

Head shadow effect. High frequencies, the part of your hearing that gives clarity and meaning to speech sounds, cannot bend around your head. Only low frequencies can. Therefore if someone is talking on your unaided side you are likely to hear that they are speaking, but be unable to tell what they have said.

Noise reduction. The brain has it’s own built in noise reduction which is only really effective when it is receiving information from both ears. If only one ear is aided, even with the best hearing aid in the world, it will be difficult for you to hear in background noise as your brain is trying to retain all of the sounds (including background noise) rather than filtering it out.

Sound quality. We are designed to hear in stereo. Only hearing from one side sounds a lot less natural to us.

What are the benefits of rechargeable hearing aids?

For most people, the main benefit of a rechargeable hearing aid is simple convenience. We are used to plugging in our phones and other devices overnight for them to charge up. 

For anybody with poor dexterity or issues with their fingers, having a rechargeable aid makes a huge difference as normal hearing aid batteries are quite small and some people find them fiddly to change.

One downside is that if you forget to charge your hearing aid, then it is a problem that can't be instantly fixed. For most a 30 minute charge will get you at least two or three hours of hearing, but if you are the type of person who is likely to forget to plug them in regularly then you're probably better off with standard batteries.

Rechargeable aids are also a little bit bigger and are only available in behind the ear models.

Finally, just like with a mobile phone, the amount of charge you get on day one is not going to be the same as you get a few years down the line. Be sure to ask what the policy is with the manufacturer warranty when it comes to replacing the battery.

 

Are behind the ear aids better than in the ear aids?

For most people, the answer is yes. But it's never that simple.

The majority of hearing problems affect the high frequencies a lot more than the low ones. Therefore open fitting hearing aids sound a lot more natural and ones that block your ears up can make your own voice sound like you are talking with your head in a bucket. Therefore in-ear aids tend to be less natural.

However the true answer is we can't tell until we have had a look in your ears to assess the size of your ear canal, and until we have tested your hearing to see which frequencies are being affected.

People with wider ear canals tend to have more flexibility, also there are open fitting modular CIC hearing aids now that do not block your ears.

There is also the age old rule to consider, that a hearing aid will not help you if it's sat in the drawer gathering dust. If the only hearing aid you would be happy wearing is one that people can't see, then that's what you should get.

Most people can adapt to any type of hearing aid, as long as they know what to expect. Have an honest conversation with your audiologist as to what your needs are.

What are channels, and how many do I need?

Generally speaking, six or more. Unless it's none at all.

The number of channels a hearing aid has is often a simplistic way an audiologist will use to explain why one hearing aid is better than another, but channels are complex and it is really not that straightforward.

Hearing aids amplify sounds of different frequencies by different amounts. Most people have lost more high frequencies than low and therefore need more amplification in the high frequencies. The range of sounds you hear are split into frequency bands or channels and the hearing aids are set to provide the right amount of hearing at each frequency level.

Less than six channels and this cannot be done with much accuracy, so six is the magic number. However, a six channel aid is typically very basic with few other features and is suitable only for hearing a single speaker in a quiet room. The number of channels is not what you should be looking at, it's more the rest of the technology that comes with them.

As a final note, different manufacturers have different approaches. One method is not necessarily better than any other. For example some manufacturers have as many as 64 channels in their top aids. Most tend to have between 17 and 20. One manufacturer has no channels at all.
