Takes you closer to forgetting you’re wearing hearing aids

When it comes to hearing, we believe that perfection isn’t something you measure, but something you feel. That’s why your first experience of a new hearing aid is vital, whether you are a first-time wearer or an experienced hearing aid user. The right hearing solution is key to making you feel connected to your life again with a sound so natural that we know you will be simply amazed from the very first moment.
This unique hearing aid technology is called Widex PureSound™ and forms the heart of our new Widex Moment Sheer™ advanced hearing aids
What is Widex PureSound?
Unrivalled spatial perception delivers that uniquely natural Widex sound
According to other hearing aid wearers like yourself, one of the things that makes PureSound so natural is that the space around them feels right, with a rich and open sound. This unrivalled spatial perception is confirmed by survey data, where 95% of wearers indicate that, with PureSound, they have the impression of sounds being exactly where they would expect them to be.
Natural sounds contain cues that inform you about your environment: your location in a room, your position relative to your conversation partner, the room’s acoustic properties, and much more. Think of staying at a luxurious hotel, for example. When you compare entering the hotel lobby with enjoying an evening drink in the hotel bar, you might notice that the lobby’s echo matches its grandeur to feel inspiring and welcoming. On the other hand, the more intimate bar has a dampened sound that is designed for private conversations.
Much of this difference is driven by what is known as room reflections. This means how the sound is reflected from the surfaces in the room, and how fast those reflections return to you, the listener. If you are wearing a hearing aid with a standard delay, this may interfere with the timing of these reflections, resulting in an unnatural sound for you that does not match the room. By contrast, the ultralow delay of PureSound means that you experience accurately timed room reflections for a more natural sound. So the hotel lobby sounds as bustling and dynamic as it looks while its bar later that evening sounds as relaxed as your mood.
1 The Widex PureSound delay of 0.5 ms is well below the threshold of audible delays for hearing aid wearers with mild to moderate hearing loss, while other hearing aids with standard delays of 5-8 ms are significantly above this threshold.

Unleashing the Power of Conversations
There’s something truly magical about the power of conversations. It’s more than just exchanging words, it’s the foundation of human connection and the key to building solid relationships.
“Conversations hold a great essence, transcending mere words to forge profound human connections and nurture lasting bonds. At Signia, our dedication to innovation and improving hearing drives us to empower individuals with hearing loss and support hearing care professionals. As we introduce Integrated Xperience, we take a great stride towards enabling immersive conversations in challenging environments for hearing aid wearers, helping them embrace their best hearing potential,” says Jens Moeller.
Make Every Moment Yours
There is a lot to be appreciated in the many differences we have as people, and it is important to value and embrace these differences as they make us who we are as individuals. It is for this reason that personalisation has become an ever more desirable feature within products and services across every industry. When it comes to your health and your hearing, it is even more important to be able to find solutions which are tailored to your own specific wants and needs. Enter WIDEX MOMENT™ Hearing aids.
Widex has always striven to deliver truly natural sounding hearing aids and we are proud to hold a reputation within the industry for delivering exactly that. In fact, with our latest hearing aid technology we have created a revolutionary way to process sound which is 10x faster than other hearing aids*. But what does this mean to the hearing aid wearer? Simply put, when you wear Widex Moment™ you don’t hear the artificial sound of a hearing aid, you hear the sounds of life, just as you remember them.
However, just great natural sound is not enough in today’s market. With WIDEX MOMENT™, Widex offer hearing aid wearers so much more. Aside from a premium quality of sound (which users should expect from a hearing aid) and a selection of models that offer the convenience of rechargeability or even the enjoyment of direct streaming, no other company delivers personalisation in a hearing aid quite like Widex.
Huge effort has been invested into delivering great sound using the input of Widex hearing aid wearers worldwide. Utilising artificial intelligence, Widex have taken feedback from past Widex hearing aid wearers who have personalised the sound they receive from their hearing aid, to deliver sound more preferential to them and in varying listening environments. This feedback has been used to improve how Widex hearing aids identify and perform in similar listening environments with WIDEX MOMENT™.
But it doesn’t stop there, Widex believe that users should be able to control and understand their hearing needs as much as possible so every WIDEX MOMENT™ wearer has the option to adjust the sound they hear in each and every environment themselves via the Widex Moment app to truly make every moment yours. Everyone is different and we all have preferences when it comes to what we want to eat, what music we want to listen to and even what every day sounds we want to hear. That doesn’t change with a hearing aid, many people will want to hear some areas of sound over others and some people may even want to hear less. The My Sound feature is the simple and easy-to-use Widex Moment app gives this personalisation option to users.
By using the Moment app to personalise the sound that is delivered to you through your hearing aids, you can ensure you get a more comfortable and enjoyable listening experience to truly make every moment yours.
WIDEX MOMENT™ really does deliver sound like no other.
