INTRODUCING THE true-to-life sound OF WIDEX DREAM

2

DREAM is the new family of exceptional hearing aids from Widex.Driven by the new and ground-breaking technological platform TRUE ISP, the DREAM™ series sets a new standard in hearing aid performance.

WIDEX DREAM™ is available in four performance levels, each with six models covering minimal to severe-to-profound hearing loss. So there is a DREAM for everyone.

And it also offers improvements to some of our most valued signa-ture features with the brand new COMPASS™ GPS fitting software.

But best of all, the DREAM™ series gives you 3 excellent reasons to recommend it to your clients: MORE SOUND, MORE WORDS and a MORE PERSONAL experience.

Put simply, 3 reasons why.

The preservation of real sound quality in hearing aids needs to be of the highest priority.

WIDEX DREAM™ features True-Input Technology that dramatically widens the input range and maintains the fidelity of all sounds entering the hearing aid, giving hearing aid users a larger, usable sound picture.

The sounds reproduced by WIDEX DREAM™ True-Input Technol-ogy are transparent, with no input handling artifacts, allowing for an almost true-to-life listening experience. Even high-level inputs are delivered artifact-free for a richer, fuller sound picture.

Users wearing WIDEX DREAM™ hearing aids will enjoy rich and detailed sound quality even in high intensity environments such as concerts, parties or sport events. And test results confirm that the DREAM sound is superior.

DIG DEEpER

Initial sound quality testing of DREAM reveals that hearing aid users have a clear preference for DREAM’s True-Input Technology compared to other high performing technology. Inputs used for testing were four different sound environment samples, each played back to subjects at five different high intensity input levels.

Widex believes that all hearing aids should give users the ability to understand speech.

However, speech understanding is often compromised in noisy envi-ronments. WIDEX DREAM™ is different.

Our True-Input Technology enables true integrated signal process-ing. It ensures an artifact-free signal, so that all sound processing in DREAM can reach its full potential. And processing features like the IE Speech Enhancer, HD Locator and compression system in DREAM are able to more effectively select the optimal automatic setting for speech intelligibility.

User testing confirms that the result is dramatically improved speech understanding, even in extremely noisy environments. From a crowded restaurant to a noisy concert, WIDEX DREAM™ hearing aids let users enjoy uncompromised speech understanding.

* Preliminary testing with hearing aid wearers revealed impressive speech intelligibility when listening to speech in high level noise. The speech intel-ligibility was measured using the NU-6 auditory test. The test was performed under headphone conditions. Source: Office of Research in Clinical Amplification (ORCA - Chicago, USA)

Giving hearing aid users the best sound available is one thing. Making sure they get the most out of it is another. In fact, involv-ing them is crucial if they are to enjoy a successful experience with their hearing aids.

That’s why, to coincide with the launch of DREAM, we are proud to introduce MY.WIDEX.COM - a free, quick, easy and personal way to help you connect with hearing aid users.

MY.WIDEX.COM is not just a personal website - it is a smart site.
