Widex SmartRIC 220 hearing aid overview
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
- An 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.
