Is Widex right for your parent?
If your mom was a musician, or simply complains that hearing aids make everything sound tinny, Widex is often the brand clinics suggest trying. Its PureSound and ZeroDelay technology aim for a natural, undistorted sound, especially for the wearer's own voice.
Widex belongs to WS Audiology, the same group as Signia. It's sold only through hearing clinics in Canada.
It suits people who care about sound quality, including music lovers, and the SmartRIC's long battery life suits people who forget to charge.
Our take: If your parent has tried hearing aids before and hated the sound, a Widex trial is worth asking for. Sound quality is personal, and the difference between 'unnatural' and 'just like before' is often the brand.

How do you buy and get Widex installed?
Ask for a sound-quality trial
If your parent cares about music or found other aids harsh, ask the clinic to compare Widex against another brand during the trial.
Tinnitus support
Widex offers Zen tones for tinnitus, and some clinics have audiologists certified in Widex Zen therapy. Ask if your parent has ringing in the ears.
Match battery life to the day
SmartRIC's long battery life helps on long days out. Make sure your parent can handle the charger, and keep a spare plan for travel.
Helping a parent stick with it
The first weeks decide whether the aids get worn. Agree a daily routine for wearing and charging, and book follow-ups early.
