Widex Moment

Since the company was launched in 1956 it has become renowned for developing some of the most advanced hearing technology, including the first hearing aids designed for babies.

Widex has also become the market leader in tinnitus management, incorporating its innovative Zen tinnitus management technology across its product ranges. In 2019, Widex merged with Sivantos to become WS Audiology, combining both companies research and development while continuing to supply hearing aids as two separate brands.

Widex has grown to become one of the world’s leading hearing aid manufacturers, supplying its hearing aid products to more than 100 countries. It strives to create hearing aids that not only offer a comfortable fit but a comfortable and natural listening experience, too, regardless of the type of sound environment. Utilising the innovative Widex Sound platform, users can expect to enjoy a full spectrum of sounds, whether its hearing whispers and voices in a noisy room or being able to pick up the background noise.

The Moment hearing aid is the latest device from the Widex brand and the smallest rechargeable hearing aid on the market. Widex Moment models come in rechargeable receiver-in-canal (RIC), in-the-canal (ITC), behind-the-ear (BTE) and three in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid styles use machine learning to make automatic adjustments depending on your listening environment.

The hearing aid utilises SoundSense Learn technology which combines noise reduction and directional microphones to ensures the device can be the most effective even in the most demanding listening situations.

Widex describes its Moment range as delivering the purest, high-quality sound, with the hearing aids acting as the best headphones a person with hearing loss will ever use. The hearing aids are available in four technology levels that each offer superior sound and innovative features:
