When it comes to hearing aids, sound quality is paramount. A natural and clear listening experience is crucial for users to feel connected to the world around them. However, traditional hearing aids have often been criticized for their artificial or "tinny" sound quality, which can be a significant source of dissatisfaction and discomfort for wearers.

Enter the Widex Moment family, a revolutionary line of hearing aids that is changing the game with its PureSound technology. This innovative device offers a more natural listening experience that addresses one of the most common complaints among hearing aid users. The PureSound technology utilized by the Widex Moment incorporates several advanced features that work together to deliver superior sound quality.

In addition to its remarkable sound quality, the Widex Moment family also boasts sleek and discreet designs. Their compact sizes and stylish appearances make them virtually unnoticeable, allowing users to wear their hearing aids with confidence.

The Evolution of Sound in Hearing Aids

Traditionally, hearing aids have faced a significant challenge: the delay between when a sound enters the device and when the amplified sound reaches the eardrum. This delay, often around 7-10 milliseconds, might seem insignificant, but it's long enough for the brain to perceive two distinct sounds - the original sound leaking into the ear canal and the amplified sound from the hearing aid. This phenomenon, known as comb filtering, results in an artificial sound quality that many users find unpleasant.

Enter PureSound Technology

Widex has tackled this issue head-on with their groundbreaking PureSound technology, featuring ZeroDelay™ processing. This innovative approach reduces the processing delay to an impressive 0.5 milliseconds - a fraction of what other hearing aids offer. The result? A much more natural sound experience that closely mimics how you would hear without hearing aids.

The Widex Moment Family

The Widex Moment family has expanded to include several models to suit different hearing needs and preferences:

  1. Widex Moment RIC (Receiver-In-Canal): A discreet option that sits behind the ear
  2. Widex Moment ITE (In-The-Ear): A custom-made solution that fits entirely in the ear canal
  3. Widex Moment BTE (Behind-The-Ear): A powerful option for those with more severe hearing loss
  4. Widex Moment Sheer: The latest innovation focusing on sound quality and personalization
  5. Widex SmartRIC: A revolutionary new addition offering enhanced features and performance

Each model is available in various technology levels to match your specific requirements and budget.

Introducing Widex Moment Sheer

Launched in September 2022, the Widex Moment Sheer is a new addition to the Moment line that places a strong emphasis on sound quality. While it may have fewer extra features, its focus on delivering superior sound has made it a favorite among users who prioritize audio clarity and naturalness. The Sheer model retains key features like PureSound technology while refining the overall listening experience.

Widex SmartRIC: The Next Generation of Hearing Technology

Widex SmartRIC represents a significant leap forward in hearing aid technology. This revolutionary device combines a discreet design with cutting-edge features, including:

  1. Extended Battery Life: Up to 37 hours on a single charge
  2. Portable Charging: A charger that provides over a week's worth of power
  3. Enhanced Clarity: Minimizes distractions in various environments
  4. Compatibility: Fully compatible with Widex accessories and apps

Key Features of Widex Moment

SoundSense Learn

One of the standout features of Widex Moment is SoundSense Learn. This AI-powered technology allows you to personalize your hearing experience in real-time. Using machine learning, it guides you towards your preferred sound settings with just a few taps on your smartphone. This means your hearing aids can adapt to your unique preferences in different environments, ensuring optimal hearing in various situations.

TruAcoustics

Widex Moment utilizes TruAcoustics, a technology that takes into account the unique shape of your ear canal. This ensures that the sound produced by the hearing aid is tailored specifically to your ear's acoustics, resulting in a more natural and comfortable listening experience.

Bluetooth Connectivity

Stay connected with Widex Moment's Bluetooth capabilities. Stream audio directly from your smartphone, tablet, or other compatible devices. Whether you're taking a call, listening to music, or watching a video, you can enjoy high-quality sound streamed directly to your hearing aids.

Rechargeable Option

For those who prefer convenience, Widex Moment offers rechargeable models. A single charge provides up to 24 hours of use (up to 37 hours for SmartRIC), including streaming. The portable charging case is perfect for those on the go, providing additional charges when you're away from a power source.

The Benefits of PureSound

The PureSound technology in Widex Moment hearing aids offers several significant benefits:

  1. More Natural Sound: By dramatically reducing the processing delay, PureSound provides a listening experience that's much closer to natural hearing.
  2. Improved Speech Understanding: The clearer, more natural sound quality can lead to better speech comprehension, especially in noisy environments.
  3. Reduced Listening Fatigue: With a more natural sound, your brain doesn't have to work as hard to interpret what you're hearing, potentially reducing listening fatigue over time.
  4. Enhanced Music Appreciation: Music lovers will particularly appreciate PureSound technology. The improved sound quality allows for a richer, more enjoyable music listening experience.
  5. Easier Adaptation: New hearing aid users often struggle with the transition to amplified sound. The more natural sound provided by PureSound can make this adjustment period smoother and quicker.

Real Ear Measurements: Ensuring Optimal Performance

At Audiologic Solutions, we believe in providing the best possible hearing experience. That's why we use Real Ear Measurements (REM) when fitting Widex Moment hearing aids. This technique allows us to measure the actual sound output of the hearing aids while they're in your ears. By doing so, we can fine-tune the devices to your specific hearing needs and ear canal acoustics, ensuring you get the full benefit of the PureSound technology.

Who Can Benefit from Widex Moment?

Widex Moment hearing aids are suitable for a wide range of hearing loss severities, from mild to severe. They're particularly beneficial for:

  • First-time hearing aid users who may be sensitive to the artificial sound of traditional hearing aids
  • Experienced users looking for a more natural sound quality

  • Active individuals who need hearing aids that can adapt to various listening environments
  • Those who struggle with speech comprehension in noisy settings
