Widex Beyond Hearing Aids: Models, Prices & Features
Widex is a Danish hearing aid manufacturer originally founded in 1956 and has grown to become the world’s sixth-largest hearing aid technology manufacturer. Widex has earned a reputation for creating innovative hearing aid technology and cutting-edge designs, especially after it released the first-ever digital in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid.
Widex Beyond hearing aids
Widex strives to be at the forefront of hearing aid technology and this led it to create its first Made-for-iPhone hearing aid range. Beyond is a highly innovative and advanced hearing aid device that uses integrated signal processing to offer superior audio streaming combined with low power consumption.
Widex designed the Beyond devices to work around the user and what they want from both their iPhone and hearing aids. While the hearing aids are optimised for direct streaming of movies and music from Apple devices, they also use DEX technology for linking with audio systems and smart TVs.
Widex Beyond app
Widex expanded its existing iPhone app to allow Beyond users to have much more control over their hearing aids and the ability to personalise their settings to suit their specific needs and preferences. This high-level of customisation contributes towards making the Beyond a cutting-edge hearing aid for anyone with hearing loss, from fans of digital entertainment to business professionals. Along with full streaming functionality, the easy-to-use Beyond iPhone app allows you to:
- Mute and adjust hearing aid volume
- Adjust directional focus
- Select favourite programs to appear on the front page
- Add favourite locations to programs for automatic selection when in those locations
- Access help for Widex Beyond troubleshooting
- Adjust sound equalisation or choose from pre-set sounds
Each time you switch on your Beyond hearing aids, the Beyond app automatically updates the hearing aids’ software.
