Widex is a Danish digital hearing aid manufacturer and was originally a family business. In early 2019 they merged with another hearing aid manufacturer, Sivantos. The combined company is called WS Audiology but the identities of Widex and Sivantos will undoubtedly remain separate.
Widex hearing aids have their own unique sound which is often described as much softer and more comfortable than other manufacturers' hearing aids. In the UK they own Bloom Hearing so don't be surprised if they recommend Widex or possibly now Sivantos hearing aids to you.
If you're struggling to understand the make and model names of Widex hearing aids then here's a simple guide to help:
Here are the Widex hearing aid styles and technology. The higher the number, the higher the technology level and the higher the price.
The behind-the-ear models tend to come in 2 styles. The Passion is a tiny RIC and is probably the prettiest hearing aid ever made. The Fusion is a slightly larger (but still quite small) RIC but it has additional features that the Passion does not.

Are Widex hearing aids any good? Established in Denmark in 1956, Widex stands for producing hearing instruments with the sound of the highest quality, focusing on more of what the wearer wants to hear.
Their hearing aids make it easy to differentiate between conversation and background noise and are very effective when faced with wind and other background noises. Widex is one of the biggest producers of hearing aids, selling its hearing aids in over 100 countries across the world.
Widex has always been an industry leader in hearing aid technology innovation. The company was created in Denmark in 1956 by Christian Topholm and Erik Westermann. The company was responsible for a number of firsts, including:
The Widex Sound picks up a broad range of sounds, so you can hear gentle sounds at the same time as the loud ones, without the loud sounds ever being too loud. Taking the idea of taking a picture using a camera, the Widex sound uses the widest possible 'lens' to take an accurate picture of the sound around you.
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence in which algorithms learn from information and experience, recognise patterns and make improved choices by themselves based on feedback from their previous decisions. The latest Widex hearing aids use SoundSense Learn technology to help hearing aid users decide on the best sound settings for their particular environment.
Using a dedicated app, the user chooses from one of two sound profiles, then listens and compares the sound profiles and chooses their preference from each one. These choices are put into the system and added to a vast database of the preferences of Widex hearing aid users worldwide, where the process continues and new sound profiles are shown to other users.
This helps Widex continually improve the sound experience based on millions of individual preferences of Widex users in similar sound environments across the globe.
With the Fluid Sound Analyser technology, Widex hearing aids automatically respond to distinct listening environments, and the system dynamically adjusts device settings to these distinct environments.
This function, known as SoundClass Technology, reduces the need for extra specialised programs. It differentiates between speech and voice environments to allow automatic optimal settings for any setting.
Widex’s Z-Power Rechargeable system has the largest energy capacity relative to all other 312 rechargeable batteries and performs better than other rechargeable options in its class by more than 20%. These Widex hearing aid batteries can be charged repeatedly without losing much of their capacity and have enough power for a full day’s use.
Unlike lithium-ion devices, the battery is removable. This means they can be easily swapped with standard zinc-air batteries at any time, which is great for those times when mains charging is unavailable.
What Widex hearing aid accessories are available? The Widex COM-DEX is one of Widex’s most popular accessories. It helps you connect your Widex hearing aid to your smartphone and other devices. You can easily stream high-quality sound from most mobile phones to your hearing aids hands-free.
Usually worn conveniently around the neck, the COM-DEX connects directly to your hearing aids so that you can operate them remotely with the COM-DEX app: a simple-to-use and handy way to adjust volume, sound direction and program settings.
Whether it's a one-on-one chat, a vibrant dinner party, or an important call, Sound Assist enhances your clients' sense of connection in a variety of situations. Benefits of Widex Sound Assist include:
Provide your clients with a seamless experience using Widex SoundConnect, which streams audio directly from computers to their Bluetooth-enabled Widex Moment and Magnify hearing aids. Other Widex accessories include RC-DEX, TV-DEX, and TV-Play.

Widex launched the SmartRIC hearing aid range in April 2024 with a new slim L-shaped Receiver in Canal (RIC) hearing solution. Powered on the Moment platform chip, this design includes microphones that are placed in such a way that it improves your directionality and focus - especially in speech targeting.
With SmartRIC hearing aids, Widex is rethinking the way in which sound is captured within a hearing aid. This should effectively offer you an even more natural sound with access to the voices and sounds you want to hear and better focus where you need it the most.

The Widex Moment Sheer hearing aids focus less on additional features like transcription or fitness tracking, but more on sound quality and how natural it is. However, they will combine great sound and health benefits by delivering a more supported hearing solution that will engage with the wearer and improve well-being - plus a better "first-fit" experience.
