March 2020 saw the launch of the Widex Moment hearing aid with the smallest lithium-ion powered rechargeable addition in the industry. This has been well received as, so far, Widex’s real flaw has been the absence of lithium-ion-powered rechargeables in their model list.Â
With today’s digital hearing aid technology, this has been considered Widex’s stumbling block – as consumer demands have changed and are finding this option an attractive concept.Â

However, Widex Moment hearing aids provide convenience with a simple compact charger and the confidence to know that you have all the power you need. Including an AI system that trains your hearing aids and makes them more personable, so you gain from a much better hearing experience. This hearing aid collection develops upon the AI SoundSense Technology found in the Widex Evoke range - Moments predecessor.Â
The Moment hearing aid range is designed to change the way in which hearing aids themselves sound. What has always been a challenge for manufacturers is getting the sound right without the hearing aid sounding like a hearing aid. The tinny and artificial sound you hear has, until now, been the norm.Â
So, why do they not sound like hearing aids? Generally, the sound you hear is out of sync in past hearing aids. Due to the processed sound reaching the eardrum a split second later than the sound that travels directly through or around the hearing aids ear-tip. However, in reality, the ‘tinny’ sound Widex is referring to is a generalisation.
In truth, it’s rare that people can detect digital echo in aids and most who have worn Moment aids can’t detect the difference in speed from their past devices. But, they have enjoyed the natural sound quality - so they must be doing something right! For instance, Widex surveyed and found that around 95% said the sound was ‘natural’ and ‘clear’.
Widex Moment hearing aids are compatible with the SoundSense Learn smartphone app. This app supports AI and machine learning to personalise your own unique hearing experience. Why is this beneficial? This platform creates hearing programs developed on your typical soundscape. The typical environment sounds of your commute, office space and favourite restaurant will be enriched automatically - natural sound everyday.
The data used by this app is taken from how often the wearer manipulates the volume and how many bespoke settings they create in their commonplace environments. Your real-life preferences can then be used to improve your soundscape and the service from your hearing care professional.
Â
At the time of launch, Widex Moment hearing aids offer the smallest lithium-ion rechargeable on the market. So now you can have the convenience of power and rechargeability with a discreet hearing solution. Plus, they’ll never have to struggle with hearing aid batteries again!
All the charging systems Widex has on offer for the Moment hearing aid range are all wireless power transfer charging, small, lightweight and have been thoughtfully designed. There is also an option to upgrade to their 3 in 1 charging system - the Charge n Clean. See both options below.

Â
The Widex Moment hearing aid range provides you with fast and reliable Bluetooth connectivity.  All Widex Moment technical specifications include Bluetooth streaming, Remote Care, real-life insights and app features.
In fact, Widex has upgraded its 2.4 GHz Bluetooth connectivity in their Moment hearing aids. Now you can stream from iPhones, Android smartphones and Widex TV Play (and other DEX accessories).
Widex Moment hearing aids stream audio directly from iPhone (and other iOS devices) without any additional accessories. However, if you don't have a 2.4GHz solution you will need to invest in their DEX accessories to make connectivity possible.

Are Widex Moment hearing aids any good? We asked our audiologists for patient feedback and reviews of Widex Moment hearing aids - here is what we received:
Â
The Sound:  Patients liked the music playback, by this we mean a rich sound experience that's fully immersive - very similar to the earbud industry. Due to this most people felt like they didn't need to tap into the SoundSense Learn feature to personalise their listening.Â
This means we can't review this particular feature at this time. However, when using Widex's PureSound, patients found a greater scope of natural sound - especially their own voice.
Â
Spatial Awareness:  Because the Moment delivers such great natural sound and music playback - the spatial awareness is increased. Patients were able to keep environmental awareness whilst being active, holding a conversation and listen to music with ease.Â
Â
Comfort & Fit:  The feedback about the style, comfort and fit of the Widex Moment hearing aids is that they are discreet and comfortable to wear. To put device size into perspective - the Moment is similar to Livio Edge but much smaller than the Phonak Paradise.
Â
Streaming:  We didn't get much feedback in regards to streaming quality, as patients found they needed an extra boost and used the COM-DEX quite a lot - so it wouldn't be a fair judgment. Our audiologists feel that the Moment app is an integral part of the wearer's hearing experience and essential for remote adjustments, so the streaming might be rather limited without the accessory.
Perhaps, if you are thinking about purchasing the Widex Moment - the COM-DEX accessory is worth considering. Other reasons to invest in this accessory would be if you have an older iPhone mobile or if you want truly hands-free calls.
