Good Points about WIDEX:

  • Ultra smooth sound quality (due to low compression thresholds) 
  • Unique Zen programme (speaking hearing aids and calming music programmes for tinnitus relief
  • Outstanding Reputation of quality
  • All hearing aids programmed by use of an in-situ audiometry test (SENSOGRAM)

 

Issues with WIDEX at March 2010

  • London based distributor - can cause postal delays (this is to change this year)
  • Rather expensive spare parts, consumables and repairs
  • Weak battery drawer attachment on Passion and size 10 in-the-ear aids - Make sure you insert the batteries correctly

Widex hearing aid  BUYER'S GUIDE

ALERT! The REGULATORY BODY, The Hearing Aid Council is due to be abolished in April 2010. That means a completely new wave of hearing aid adverts and marketing coming through you letterbox and your PC soon. Please be aware that it is very difficult (for the vast majority of users) to adapt to hearing aids without initial in-situ tuning and INDIVIDUAL EAR CANAL FEEDBACK MEASUREMENT and at least 4 RE-TUNING SESSIONS. THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU ORDER HEARING AIDS ONLINE!!!
