Clear 440 Launch

The Clear 440 platform was launched very successfully to the UK & Irish market last weekend at the AIHHP conference at the Cobham Hilton in Surrey. The platform was well received by all who attended, with particular interest paid to the interear features and strategies and also the wireless connectivity.

We have launched initially the RIC format and BTEs and towards the end of the year, perhaps early next year  ‘in the ear’ versions will be released. The general feeling was that the connectivity options  look really elegant . Initially there will be options to stream wirelessly from TV and audio sources (TV-Dex) with no discernable time lapse or lip sync issues, the mobile phone streaming option (M-Dex) will follow very shortly. The new remote control option for the Clear 440 (RC-Dex) is very stylish, simple and intuitive.



Features in the Widex Clear 440 include Binaural Synchronisation, the new Widex range of hearing aids will ‘talk’ to each other in binaural fittings, this will  lead to better localisation, speech enhancement and improvements in hearing speech in noise. Another benefit is great feedback management and significantly improved directionality of sound.

Another couple of interesting features built into the new Clear 440 are an enhanced bandwidth , in fact the widest bandwidth currently available including enhanced low frequencies down to 70Hz, good for full appreciation of music. Also FreeFocus, allowing a Patient to hear in selected directions without turning their head.

We will begin to post educational posts pertaining to the Clear platform, features, strategies and fitting on the blog shortly.
