Hi there, I'm Emma from Value Hearing and in this
video iIm going to give you an overview of the
latest Widex hearing aid: the Widex moment ,released back in march
2020. So, widex have been around as a hearing
aid manufacturer for 65 years. They are known as being
particularly innovative in our industry, being the first company to introduce a
digital in the ear hearing aid, for example.
They're also known as being a very natural
sounding hearing aid so they really pride themselves
in having a very natural sound quality that allows their users to access
even the softest signs in their environment
but then when there are loud sounds to find them very very comfortable.
They also strive to offer excellent customer service
and I can definitely vouch for them here in Australia
as offering brilliant support and brilliant customer service.
Their technology, their hardware is also known as being very reliable.
Widex moment hearing aids are definitely the most cosmetically appealing hearing
aids they've ever released. They've also reintroduced the new model:
the Widex RIC RD which is fully rechargeable, using the lithium ion
technology. Now ,back in 2018 they released the Widex
Evoke which was a hugely successful platform
for them. At that time they released a
rechargeable hearing aid using the z-power technology which was
silver zinc. They've now moved across to lithium-ion.
As far as lithium-ion rechargeable hearing aids go they have now
created the smallest option in the market.
It takes four hours to charge it and that gives you between 20
and 40 hours of charge depending of course on how much you are streaming.
This hearing aid is fully using the 2.4 GHz technology.
So it has made for iphone technology and it is also android ready, we're just
waiting on an update for that to become available.
So, Widex now have the fastest digital signal processing
available in the industry of 0.5 milliseconds.
The industry average is between 6 and 8 milliseconds.
So what does this mean for you? Well if you're someone with a mild
to moderately severe hearing loss, what will happen when you come in to see us
in the clinic is that we're likely to fit you with an
open hearing aid. Now, what this means is that we're
creating a little bit of a hybrid situation
where we're allowing the low frequencies where you're still hearing well
to enter the ear naturally but we are amplifying the
mid or the high frequencies, for example through the hearing aid
and what this can mean is that there is a little bit of a discrepancy
between the time it takes for the sound that's entering naturally to reach your
ear and the sound that's entering the hearing
aid being processed and exiting the receiver and entering
the ear. What this can lead to is the perception
that it sounds a bit like listening through
a microphone. Now, this does not happen to everyone and
most people do get used to it because the brain is a wonderful thing,
but to have the option of offering you something
that sounds more natural, works faster and is easier to get used
to is wonderful! So, these hearing aids come
with 13 different color options in the
receiver in the canal. The receiver in the canal hearing aids
also have three different form factors and they
have three different custom hearing aid options available as well.
This is widex's most durable hearing aid with improved
microphones, more nano coating meaning they're more
dust and water resistant. In fact they're ip68 rated. These hearing aids
are available in four levels of technology.
