The hearing aid is an electronic device that amplifies, improves, and processes the sound, then directs the sound into the patient’s ear canal. The hearing aid increases the patient’s hearing ability and helps him to communicate effectively in different environments (Such as: quiet, noisy, reverberant, or outdoor environments, etc), and contributes to his daily activities and his quality of life.
We are currently enjoying a golden era of technology that allows us to provide patients with outstanding solutions that exceed expectations and mimic natural hearing! Widex hearing aids have the world’s most powerful and fastest sound processor! Widex processor contains 250 thousand sound samples to analyze and identify every incoming sound with remarkable precision and then to process the sound in real time speed by manipulating more than 700 factors and several sound schemes that meet the patient’s need in every situation! Its BRILLIANT!
How to determine the hearing aid price?
- The price of the hearing aid does NOT depend on its style, it depends on the efficiency and speed of the hearing aid sound processor.
- The price of the hearing aid DEPENDS on the level of technology that meets the patient’s needs.
- Patients who suffer from deteriorated auditory nerve and impaired speech recognition usually need more advanced hearing technology.
- The price of the hearing aid also depends on the quality of clinical and technical services provided by the audiologist and the dispensing center.
What does the “technology level of the hearing aid” mean?
The efficiency and speed of the hearing aid processor determine the hearing aid price! You can compare the technology level of a hearing aid to the technology level of a computer. As the technology level improves, the sound quality, patient comfort, and hearing aid performance improves!
Choosing the appropriate technology level depends on the patient’s daily needs, and his speech recognition abilities. For example, active patients who have poor speech recognition abilities and have high listening demand and move between several listening environments (e.g. public places, outdoor, noisy places, big hallways, etc), require higher technology. On the other hand, retired people who have good word recognition abilities and live a quiet lifestyle, and spend most of their time in quiet environments, require less advanced technology.
As the hearing aid technology level increases:
- The hearing aid performance improves and simulates natural hearing.
- The ability of the hearing aid to clarify speech increases when there is more than one person speaking at the same time.
- The efficiency and speed of the hearing aid processor increases.
- The clarity and quality of sound improves in different environments.
- The ability of the hearing aid to identify and process the speech signal improves.
- The ability of the hearing aid to identify and process different types of sound signals improves.
- The ability of the hearing aid to reduce the noise perception improves.
- The ability of the hearing aid to automatically adjust the performance in different environments improves.
- The sound directionality of the hearing aid improves.

Is the price of a hearing aid related to its style or number of channels?
No. The price of a hearing aid is not related to its style and the number of channels.
The cost of a hearing aid is related to the technology level of the hearing aid processor. The efficiency and speed of the hearing aid processor determine the hearing aid price. You can compare the technology level of a hearing aid to the technology level of a computer. As the technology level improves, the sound quality, patient comfort, and hearing aid performance improves!
The hearing aid performance depends on the quality of the sound process in the hearing aid, for example:
- Analyzing the input sound prior to sound processing.
- Applying different processing algorithms depending on the type of the input sound. Such as recognizing and improving the human voice, identifying and reducing the sound of the air conditioner, etc.
- Identifying the surrounding environment and applying different processing schemes that simulate the natural hearing.
- The world’s most powerful and fastest Widex headphone processor! It contains 250 thousand vocal cells that contain high-quality vocal vertebrae.
