Widex SmartRIC

The Widex SmartRIC is Widex’s most sophisticated device to date, designed to enhance both functionality and user experience. This device features a distinctive L-shaped design, which optimizes microphone placement to improve directionality and speech intelligibility, particularly in noisy environments. 

The reduced microphone angle of about 12 degrees enhances the signal-to-noise ratio, leading to a significant improvement in speech understanding, which can be particularly beneficial for users with hearing challenges in loud settings​.

The SmartRIC is built on the Widex Moment platform, incorporating advanced technologies like PureSound with ZeroDelay technology, which minimizes sound latency to 0.5 milliseconds, delivering a natural sound experience. This technology aims to reduce the cognitive load on users, making it easier to distinguish speech from background noise​

Some of the most powerful features of the Widex include:

• Long-lasting Battery Life: The device offers up to 37 hours of use on a single charge and 27 hours with a full day of streaming. It comes with a portable charging case capable of providing five full charges, making it convenient for extended use without frequent recharging​. To ensure your hearing aids are ready to go, the charging case also features an LED display, providing a clear view of your charging status.
• Background Noise Reduction: The SmartRIC’s innovative design significantly reduces wind and touch noise, enhancing the overall listening experience by minimizing common distractions. The device uses advanced microphone covers and sound processing algorithms to mitigate wind interference, which is particularly beneficial for outdoor activities. The directional microphones focus on isolating and enhancing speech, making it easier to follow conversations even in noisy environments like restaurants or busy streets​
• Connectivity and Personalization: The Widex Moment app allows users to personalize their hearing experience with features like an equalizer, sound mixer, and AI-based MySound recommendations. These AI abilities are designed to fine-tune your sound profiles to ensure the most personalized listening experience. The app also supports remote control functions, audio streaming, and monitoring of battery and connection status​.
• Stylish and Discreet Design: The SmartRIC’s sleek and modern design is inspired by the elegant curves of glasses’ temple tips, making it one of the shortest and most aesthetically pleasing devices in its class. Its discreet profile ensures it is comfortable to wear and unobtrusive in appearance, making it an ideal choice for users who prefer a low-profile hearing aid​.

The Widex SmartRIC’s extensive customization doesn’t stop at sound processing. Widex also offers this sleek design in a wide range of colors, including tech black, dark cherry, honey blonde, silver grey, and rose gold, providing unparalleled customization inside and out. 

Overall, the Widex SmartRIC is designed to meet the needs of a diverse range of users, from those with significant hearing loss to individuals who prefer a more discreet and technologically advanced hearing aid.
