Widex Allure App
The Widex Allure App is designed to deliver intuitive audio personalization, seamless streaming, and built-in accessibility features, empowering users to take full control of their hearing experience. AI-powered Quick and Sound Assistants provide real-time recommendations and adjustments, while directional focus tools and a three-band equalizer let wearers fine-tune their sound in any environment. Users can stream calls, music, and media directly to their hearing aids with adjustable balance between streamed and ambient sound and save custom programs for different listening situations.
Accessibility is built into the app’s core design, with customizable display modes, adjustable text sizes, color contrast enhancements, and in-app tutorial videos to support onboarding and troubleshooting. Additional features include Apple Watch integration for volume, program changes, and battery status, as well as a “Find My Hearing Aids” function that locates lost devices via map and Bluetooth tracking. Fully compatible with iOS and Android, the Allure App is made to combine robust functionality with sleek, user-friendly design, and transform the hearing aid experience from static adjustment to dynamic, user-guided personalization.
