The Newest Widex Hearing Aids in Dublin & Across Ireland

Widex have just launched their newest and most technologically advanced hearing aids yet at a launch event in Dublin. The Widex Unique range of hearing aids was launched at an event held at Croke Park last week, we got a sneak peek just before the new range was launched internationally. Widex say that these are the best hearing aids that they have ever produced, judging on the past performance of their hearing aids, that is a big claim.

Lets look at what the Unique platform has to offer you!

CAPTURES MORE SOUND

Widex say that the UNIQUE hearing aids capture all the sounds that you need, from the highs to the lows, from the loud to the very quiet. They also say that their ground breaking technology provides you with a wider range of comfortable, audible sounds than any other hearing aids. We are going to get nerdy here for a minute, a full sound experience requires a high dynamic range of sound input to have as few artefacts as possible. Clean sound good, artefacts bad! In UNIQUE, Widex have increased the input dynamic range so that it can deliver up to 113dB SPL linearly and lowered the noise floor to 5dB SPL. What does the gobbledy gook mean to you? You can hear the  important soft sounds but also louder sounds completely free of distortion.This allows you the best possible understanding of speech in every situation.

PURE, CLEAN SOUND

The UNIQUE range can also reduce unwanted soft sounds while maintaining useful soft sounds (such as quiet speech). When you’re outdoors, UNIQUE also significantly reduces wind noise, no matter what the prevailing conditions are. Hearing soft sounds is particularly important for you to understand speech, but even more important for the hearing aid is determining which soft sounds are useful and which are not. UNIQUE is the only hearing aid that ensures important soft sounds are maintained and unwanted soft noises are removed. Widex have developed a very powerful Soft Level Noise Reduction system to reduce the soft noises that you do not want to hear while retaining the audibility of other soft sounds, such as speech.

Speech and noise are very different, the feature determines the difference between speech and noise patterns without any compromise in speech intelligibility or comfort. Widex have always provided more gain for soft sounds than any one else, providing more gain for soft sounds is a good strategy for amplifying soft speech but it can also mean soft unwanted sounds. The noise from fans, refrigerators, or even the hearing aid microphone noises, are audible even when in quiet environments. The Soft Level Noise Reduction Algorithm in UNIQUE differentiates those soft noise sounds from soft speech sounds and reduces their amplification. This results in an enhanced sound quality and better comprehension of speech for you.

ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

UNIQUE hearing aids cleverly and quickly adapt to any situation you find yourself in. So you can easily separate speech from noise. And enjoy superb sound in any environment. Widex have devised a completely new, precise processing system to give users significantly improved sound in every sound environment. WIDEX UNIQUE™ Sound Class technology divides listening environments into nine distinct sound classes.Those distinct sound classes are based on real-life measurements. 

The feature searches for specific characteristics in the incoming sound and determines whether prominent speech is present. When prominent speech is present, the system targets audibility; when there is no prominent speech, it targets comfort.

An improved hearing experience - automatically

WIDEX UNIQUE gives hearing aid users an improved hearing experience across lots of different sound environments, without the need for intervention from you. In each sound class, WIDEX UNIQUE continuously monitors whether or not there is prominent speech. The internal controller then optimises the feature setting. So the individual sound classes are sufficient to deal with any sound environment that users may encounter.

The New COM-DEX

Widex have also introduced a new wireless accessory device, the COM-DEX. The COM-DEX is a stylish, hands-free communication device that streams high-quality sound to your hearing aids from your smartphone. It hangs very discreetly around your neck and connects wirelessly to your hearing aids to make for a truly hands-free solution. And you can also stream music and more, quickly and instantly.

COM-DEX is available in a range of three attractive colours that perfectly complement your smartphone: Champagne White, Anthracite Grey and Emerald Green.
