Widex FUSION is one of the new models in the Widex CLEAR440 series of wireless hearing aids. Widex FUSION is a RIC type of product which suits most types of hearing loss, from minimal to severe to profound.
Widex FUSION can be supplied with three different power levels of receivers, as well as various ear-tip and custom earmould options to suit all needs.
As Widex FUSION is part of the Widex CLEAR family, FUSION uses WidexLink – the first wireless technology designed specifically for hearing aids – DEX listening devices;
TV-DEX – TV without echo
Watching television can sometimes be a challenge for hearing aid users. With our TV-DEX, high quality audio is streamed with no delay straight to your hearing aid.
* No delays or echoes: The main advantage of the TV-DEX is its real time hi-fi quality sound. You experience TV or audio sound exactly as it was intended – without annoying delays or echoes.
* Room Off: With the TV-DEX you can temporarily switch the hearing aid’s microphone off and hear the TV sound only – we call this ‘Room Off’ – meaning you can enjoy your favourite TV programme without unnecessary background noise.
* 10 hours battery: The TV-DEX delivers up to 10 hours of uninterrupted, top quality TV or audio sound between recharging of controller.
M-DEX – Mobile
Compatible with most mobile phones, the M-DEX reproduces phone conversations directly in your hearing aid.
* Room Off: A unique feature of the M-DEX is what we call ‘Room Off’. This turns the hearing aids’ microphones off temporarily so you can only hear your mobile – allowing you to concentrate on the conversation without being disturbed by surrounding sounds.
* Remote control: The M-DEX can also be used as an advanced remote control for volume and program shift.
* FreeFocus: M-DEX can also be used in FreeFocus mode. FreeFocus lets you focus in selected directions, such as left, right and behind, without having to turn your head.
RC-DEX
The RC-DEX is a stylish and user-friendly remote control that gives you control of hearing aid functions like volume and programs.
* Intuitive in use: Small enough to fit on a keychain, the RC-DEX is intelligently laid out with three simple keys. This means that you can quickly and easily start using it.
* Feature activation: As features are activated, verbal or tone cues let you know. An LED indicator on the remote control also shows when it is activated.
Even with FUSION’s small housing, there is room for a 312 battery, which is easy to handle and has an extremely long battery life and excellent performance.
Widex FUSION has a number of important features of note;
The Phone+ feature processes and transmits phone signals from one hearing aid to the other without delay. This means that for the first time, you can hear mobile and landline phone calls in both hearing aids without the use of extra devices.
Disturbance from wind noise is a common challenge. FUSION features a new and improved microphone cover that significantly reduces wind noise.
A new stable, robust telecoil is designed specifically to fit in FUSION’s small housing, meaning that it’s easier to use in more listening situations.
Widex have announced their first foray into IIC (invisible in canal) hearing aids, due to launch in May. There has been a trend in the last year or two for manufacturers to supply tiny hearing aids that sit so deep in the ear canal as to make them invisible or virtually so. With advances in shell technology and manufacturing techniques it has become possible for hearing aids to be supplied smaller and more discreet than ever before.
