This app helps your iPhone remember your preferred settings, enabling you to dial in the precise range of sounds that will be both the most comfortable and clear for your hearing profile.

Widex Moment: Natural Sound Like No Other

Until now, even the best heading aids sounded like hearing aids. That’s all changed with the enhanced Widex MOMENT with Puresound™ technology. Unlike other devices, MOMENT processes sound with lightening speed, so there is none of the delay that causes that annoying “tinny” artificial sound. Just pure, natural sound so you hear every moment, with sound that over 90% of wearers are satisfied with.

The revolutionary MOMENT changes the game to deliver the most pure, natural sound ever. Typically, sound processed in a hearing aid reaches the eardrum later than sound heard directly. And when these two ‘out of sync’ signals mix, you get an artificial sound. But now you can hear every moment - like you used to. We call this new sound experience, PureSound™.
