Home / Manufacturers / Widex Hearing Aids
The third largest hearing aid manufacturer in the world, Widex got their start more than 65 years ago.
After merging with Sivantos in 2019, the combined expertise of the two hearing aid producers made WS Audiology a global leader in production and innovation.
Exacting standards, a “passion for sound,” and a commitment to long term partnerships with hearing care providers are all elements of the company’s success, but the development of innovative hearing aid technology has launched them to new heights in the 21st century.
Widex produces some of the most advanced sound engines on the market with AI powered personalization and seamless integration with other digital technology.
DEX Technology, with cutting-edge machine learning and the Widex Fluid Sound Analyzer, make it possible for you to personalize and optimize sound settings to overcome the challenges of any listening environment while also providing connectivity options with iPhone and Android, establishing the gold standard for modern digital audio solutions.
Natural music sound, produced by Widex hearing aids, have made them the first choice of Musicians worldwide thanks to Moment technology, which synchronizes the arrival of sound not processed through the instrument with processed sound for a crisper, more natural sound experience.
Widex Zen Therapy applies fractal tone technology with the Zen app into their specialized devices in order to provide an advanced, innovative solution for those struggling with tinnitus.
Connectivity with iPhone and Android devices, when connected to the TeamViewer app, allows you to request and receive tech-support and troubleshooting for a hearing device from a remote location, allowing you to continue to reap the benefits of pure sound quality no matter where you are.
Widex hearing aids are one of the advanced hearing technology solutions our audiologists at Jacobs Audiology use to meet your hearing care needs, but technology will never replace the patient-focused hearing care we provide.
We focus on your specific hearing care needs using comprehensive hearing assessments to accurately identify your hearing challenges and guide you through selecting the hearing instruments that best addresses those hearing challenges while also considering your personal preferences and budget.
Patient-focused hearing care also involves ongoing technical support, device maintenance, and hearing aid repair of devices from manufacturers like Widex, Unitron, Oticon, and Starkey to deliver better hearing, greater independence, and a more rewarding lifestyle to hearing aid wearers in Bowie and Southern Maryland.

PATIENT STORIES
For years, his wife and children had pestered him about going to have a hearing test. But he didn’t feel it was necessary. Instead, he preferred to turn up the volume on his television and ask others to repeat themselves. “Denial was a big factor,” he remembers. “When I was growing up, if you saw someone with hearing aids, people thought there was something wrong with them. And then I suddenly found myself in their position.”

Like many kids, Joe developed a love of music from an early age. “I play guitar, and I’ve played for years – mostly too loud when I was younger,” he admits with a grin.
He enrolled in the military after high school as a linguist. That’s when he learned he had damaged hearing. After his hearing aid fitting, his world changed overnight. “Everything sounded really vibrant – it was like my mind wasn’t wired for that anymore,” he says.

SaWan found out she had a hearing loss in her late twenties. She was flying to Italy for work, but once she landed, both her eardrums had ruptured. Over the years, she invested in hearing aid technology from Miracle Ear and Costco. “Those experiences were a disaster,” she says. “I paid too much money for hearing aids that didn’t improve my hearing situation, and in some cases, I couldn’t hear anything out of the devices.

“My daughters and husband would tell me ‘You really need to have your hearing tested,’” she says. “You don’t miss it because you don’t hear it, but it becomes annoying to your family.” Like a lot of people, she was worried about the cost of hearing aid technology. But as her condition worsened, she found out her insurance company would step in and cover a large portion of her investment in new devices.

Danayjah began showing signs of a hearing loss back in elementary school. As the years went by, those around her realized that this behavior was probably to do with an impairment. And after consulting an audiologist, her family set her up with a pair of hearing aids that they’d bought online. “I had those hearing aids for two years, and it was a struggle,” she says. “I’d usually have to take the work home and just teach myself.

In the early 2000s, Andrew developed type 2 diabetes, “At that point, I became very aware of the possibility that I might not wake up.”
An organization called NEADS, offered support and introduced him to Champ, to aid him with his disability. It wasn’t long before the four-legged companion became Andrew’s best friend and, above all, hero.
After coming to terms with his disability, this initiated a change in Andrew, where he decided it was time to visit a specialist and came across Jacobs Audiology. Since having his hearing aids fitted, his life has changed drastically.
