Widex Moment 440 mRIC D - Rechargeable

These are the first hearing aids I have purchased. In the past few years I have tested various devices at different shops/chains but I was not really satisfied with them. This year I contacted OogVoorOren to take the plunge. I made an appointment on the website and not much later an audiologist (Marco) came to visit me at home. After an intake and a thorough measurement he soon had the model in mind, the Widex Moment 440 mRic -m rechargeable.
After a 6-week trial period, I was actually sold. The sound of the Widex is very natural and arrives in your ear without noticeable delay. After a while, you just forget you're wearing them! Following conversations and meetings is great again and that's what I was after.


Another really nice feature of the Widex is that you can call hands-free. I use this a lot, especially when working from home.


Because the Widex phones are free market devices, I also tested category 5 phones to get a good comparison. However, these devices had a less pleasant sound and a noticeable delay.


I have the whole process of intake, measurement and trial period as very pleasant! I am very happy with the Widex and find it very helpful every day.

The most important advantage over the off-the-shelf models is the much better sound quality and the fact that they are more durable. It is a considerable investment (no reimbursement for health insurance), but then you have something. Service at home: ideal. I came in contact with OvO through my network, the elderly are very satisfied with the service.

I got quite acute hearing loss in 1 ear; so I only have 1 device. Although the Widex produces a less irritating sound than other tested devices, for a frequent visitor to the concert hall and owner of an expensive High End Audio system, it is quite a disappointment. On one ear (still) beautiful sound, on the other a rather shrill speaker that blows sound into your ears. Hearing aids have a minuscule "speaker" and the quality is, partly due to the limited frequency range, not close to an in-ear headset of about 100 Euro. Ultimately quite disappointing, but this review is not about a high end headphone. Hence 4 stars everywhere, although it actually feels differently.

With this device I hear better, but the intelligibility of speech is hardly improved. I understand people still mainly with my good ear and understanding with one hearing aid is sometimes better, but often worse because of the two totally different sound experiences. But of course you can turn it off ;-)
