Widex SmartRIC 220 Hearing Aids Overview
Introduction to Widex SmartRIC 220 hearing aids
In April 2024, Widex introduced the SmartRIC hearing aid range featuring a new slim L-shaped Receiver in Canal (RIC) design. Because the Widex SmartRIC 220 hearing aids are the standard technology level, they will miss out on some of the features this range has to offer.
For example, it has 10 adjustment bands with 4 background sound analysis settings. However, it does not provide a premium level of speech enhancement. The SmartRIC 220 hearing aids are ideal for those who live a quiet lifestyle, often have one-on-one conversations, spend a lot of time at home, and have mild to severe hearing loss.
Powered by the Moment platform chip, Widex SmartRIC 220 hearing aids feature strategically positioned microphones that enhance directionality and focus, particularly in speech recognition. This advancement ensures authentic sound reproduction, granting clear access to desired voices while optimising focus where it matters most.
Key features of Widex SmartRIC 220 hearing aids
- RIC design, with improved microphone angles, precisely directs focus for optimal sound clarity.
- Enjoy improved battery longevity with Widex's first portable charger, offering over a week's worth of power.
- Carefully engineered microphone covers reduce wind and touch noises, enhancing overall comfort and daily hearing experiences.
What does this new shape mean for your hearing?
The redesigned shape positions microphones horizontally, enhancing directionality and signal-to-noise ratio, especially in challenging environments. This configuration improves hearing effectiveness in social settings by reducing background noise interference. Widex SmartRIC 220 hearing aids also feature updated microphone covers, reducing wind noise by 20 decibels and handling noise by 88%, ensuring more comfortable hearing.
Retaining Widex's core technologies, SmartRIC 220 hearing aids maintain features such as:
- Widex Speech Enhancer: Swiftly detects speech and adapts sound processing for clarity in various environments.
- Widex PureSound with ZeroDelay Technology: Ensures fast sound processing, providing a natural listening experience.
Widex SmartRIC 220 hearing aid's accessories, charger, app, and colours
Widex SmartRIC 220 hearing aids are rechargeable, offering an impressive 37-hour battery life and up to 7 days of charge with the portable charger. They feature a sleek design, enclosed battery, and galvanic charging for added convenience.
Compatible accessories include Widex TV PLAY for direct TV audio streaming, SOUND ASSIST for remote control and audio streaming, SOUNDCONNECT for high-quality audio streaming from personal computers, and the MOMENT APP for personalised sound adjustments and helpful tips.
Available in five stylish colours—tech black, dark cherry, honey blonde, silver grey, and rose gold—Widex SmartRIC 220 hearing aids offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

What's included in our hearing aid prices?
If you are looking at this page then it is likely that an audiologist has suggested that you purchase this particular hearing aid, so is this the best model for you?
In general, any audiologist will always be recommending to you the model that best suits your needs. Here is a useful checklist to make sure that is the case.
- Audiologist level of knowledge: The audiologist you have seen will hopefully have a wide knowledge of all available hearing aids, however, some will only be familiar with a small number of brands and therefore may not really be in a position to know which model is the best for you. It is OK to challenge their recommendation and ask them to justify why this particular brand is the one for you.
- Do research: Read about the hearing aid that was recommended. Does it seem like it will suit your lifestyle? Does it have more or less features than you need?
- Be aware of sales targets: Many high street retailers have specific tie-ins to a particular manufacturer/brand. The hearing aid they have suggested may still be the correct one for you, but do your research so that you know why they might have recommended it.
If in doubt, feel free to give us a call. That's what we're here for. In the meantime, read all about our review of the best hearing aids here
If you have significant hearing loss in both ears, you should be wearing two hearing aids. Here are the audiological reasons why:
Localisation: The brain decodes information from both ears and compares and contrasts them. By analysing the minuscule time delays as well as the difference in the loudness of each sound reaching the ears, the person is able to accurately locate a sound source. Simply put, if you have better hearing on one side than the other, you can't accurately tell what direction sounds are coming from.
Less amplification is required: A phenomenon known as “binaural summation” means that the hearing aids can be set at a lower and more natural volume setting than if you wore only one hearing aid.
Head shadow effect: High frequencies, the part of your hearing that gives clarity and meaning to speech sounds, cannot bend around your head. Only low frequencies can. Therefore if someone is talking on your unaided side you are likely to hear that they are speaking, but be unable to tell what they have said.
Noise reduction: The brain has its own built-in noise reduction which is only really effective when it is receiving information from both ears. If only one ear is aided, even with the best hearing aid in the world, it will be difficult for you to hear in background noise as your brain is trying to retain all of the sounds (including background noise) rather than filtering it out.
Sound quality: We are designed to hear in stereo. Only hearing from one side sounds a lot less natural to us.
