Widex: An American Hearing Aid Company with Danish

Origins

Widex is wide-spread; sixth largest in the world to

be exact. The brand has operations in 100 nations

and if you’re located in the U.S. you are

automatically routed to their USA website. The

company is so popular in the states that you might

miss the fact that it has Danish origins. The

hearing aid juggernaut was founded in 1956 by

the Tøpholm and Westermann families, who still

own and operate the business as of October 2011.

The headquarters of their operation is located in Denmark, just outside of

Copenhagen.

Their product line is quite extensive with seven models in all. The Clear line

is ideal for those requiring dual earpieces as they use wireless technology to

remain in sync. It is a BTE, or behind the ear unit like the Mind, Flash and

Real series. While these are essentially the same style, they have different

price points and features.

The Passion hearing aids made by Widex are virtually invisible and feature-

rich, with options such as in-ear status updates and speech enhancement. Lastly, there is the infant-focused model, Baby440. Many of the company's

devices have a signal producing feature called ZEN program, which is known to reduce or eliminate the effects of tinnitus, a constant ringing in the ears.

Clinical trials are ongoing to test and improve its effectiveness but if you're looking for relief today, it would behoove you to try earpieces with this

technology.
