Like many hearing loss sufferers, Hagen initially resisted hearing aids because of a perceived stigma—a stigma some of his own patients had about glasses.
Widex US Inc announced the appointment of Kerrie Coughlin as Vice President of Marketing, tapped to “bolster the Widex brand to its core audiologist and consumer audiences while further driving the success of Widex hearing solutions in the US market.”
Powered by AI, Widex SoundSense Learn helps process inputs from connected hearing aids throughout the world and shares anonymized data with a cloud-based AI system.

Read MoreExpanding hearing care outside the walls of the clinic requires solutions that involve the hearing care professional as well as apps that empower the users. Widex Remote Care provides a comprehensive solution for the hearing care professionals working remotely, with access to all fitting functionality, while Widex apps help hearing aid users personalize their sound in the moment. Data from the AI-functionality in Widex apps show how users react to changes in their environment, including major ones like the COVID-19 crisis.

Read MoreResearch suggests that listeners rely on stimulus envelope cues for robust speech comprehension in both quiet and noisy conditions. This study compares three premium hearing aids, including Widex MOMENT hearing aids with ZeroDelay™ technology, relative to how they might affect the central auditory system’s ability to encode the temporal envelope of the input sounds—and therefore possibly distort the quality of the temporal envelope code available for higher-level auditory processing.
Read MoreWidex has announced the availability of its new WIDEX MOMENT™ hearing aid, which is designed to offer the industry’s most natural hearing experience by combining the latest in AI and machine learning with two ultra-fast signal pathways.
Read MorePureSound with ZeroDelay technology has been designed to shorten hearing aid processing delays to less than 0.5 ms across frequencies and therefore greatly enhance the sound quality, particularly for large-vent or open fittings—fittings that can reduce the effectiveness of directional microphones. This study shows the PureSound program on the MOMENT hearing aid is as effective as the premium products of two other manufacturers for managing speech understanding in noise at realistic SNRs.
Read MoreSound quality in digital hearing aids is often compromised due to signal-processing delay and the resulting “comb-filter effect.” To change this, Widex recently introduced a new solution, designed particularly for mild-to-moderate hearing losses, which employs an ultralow delay. This results in a sound quality that has, until now, been unattainable in digital hearing aids. This article describes the physics of hearing aid delay, and presents a field study on the sound quality experience of the new system.
Read MoreThe Widex Moment platform achieves this hearing experience by leveraging two distinct signal pathways. The ‘classic’ Widex signal pathway is paired with a second ultra-fast signal pathway that adds extra gearing to the platform, the company says.
