Processing Technology and Features
The company’s exacting standards in research, development, manufacturing, and the development of innovative technology, as well as their long-term partnerships with hearing care providers, are driven by a “passion for sound.” Widex has developed into the third-largest hearing aid manufacturer in the world.
No matter how good technology becomes, it means nothing without your valuable input, leading to the development of Widex MySound, AI-assisted personalization.
MySound uses high-speed calculations in the cloud to provide instantaneous adjustments to your hearing profile as you move from one environment to another.
This feature allows you to create programs that adjust both the equalizer and compression in a way that suits your taste and situation.
Your hearing experiences are recorded by Real-Life Insights in order to assist your hearing care professional with programming that meets your unique needs in multiple hearing situations and environments.
Integrated into your hearing aids is Widex Moment technology, preferred by musicians worldwide, which produces more natural sound by synchronizing the arrival of sound not processed through the instrument with processed sound.
