Widex UNIQUE Hearing Aids
The Widex UNIQUE range of hearing aids have been around a little while but still represents an excellent choice of device. As with most ranges of aid (and most manufacturers), there are a variety of technologies, styles and prices.
Widex UNIQUE 440
The 440 is the top-of-the range in the UNIQUE family with prices around the £1500 region per aid. Features of this range include:
Sound Processing: Using the U-platform chip, which processes sounds across 15 channels, the 440 boasts features such as High Frequency Boost and Sound Class Technology. Sound Class Technology classifies what kind of sound environment you are currently in from of a choice of nine possible environments. It then adjusts the sound accordingly to maximise your ability to hear speech sounds clearly.
Wind noise attenuation: Suppresses background wind noise interference helping improve speech intelligibility outdoors.
Background noise reduction: The Widex noise reduction feature has extra attenuation for softer, deeper background noise such as fridges or air conditioning units.
Wide dynamic range: This feature helps pick up very quiet sounds, often not detected in the technology of other manufacturer’s devices. This helps with hearing softer speech sounds and gives a more natural hearing experience.
Connectivity: The UNIQUE range has excellent connection to the Widex range of accessories including the remote control RC-DEX and the COM-DEX.
Tinnitus management: Widex introduced a feature called ZEN tones to their aids many years ago. This scientifically proven method of distracting the brain from recognising tinnitus works by playing random low-level chimes through the hearing aid.

The 330 is the upper mid-range version priced at around £1200 per aid. Features include:
Sound Processing: The Unique 330 is a 10 channel aid, again utilising the U-platform chip.
