Well I’m not 5 days into the trial of the Widex Super 440 trial.
I’m severe to profound - so i my fitting would be a little more complex than most people i assume
I have the High Power receiver version, full hard shell clear/transparent tight fit mould with Audibility Extender.
I have a long way to go but here my initial feedback.
Cosmetics:
The aid itself is pretty small and comfortable as the receiver is in the mould. As the receiver is in the mould, a small part of the middle outside of the mould has a small claptrap which enables easy change of the wire withouth having to change the mould and receiver. Its very smartly done however its an awesome beige colour and marked contrast to the clear mould. I find it a bit disappointing that you go through all this trouble to make the aid less noticeable and then the efforts are ruined by one small kink. Surely they could have chosen a better colour or design.
Anyway - small thing, the sound is more important.
Hearing in quiet environments
Pretty happy for the most part. Most people sound quiet alright, clear and natural however I’ve noticed certain people voices are hoarse. Like they have a slighlty sore throat or something. Its a bit annoying if you speaking to them regularly.
People voices are on the louder side, which i like.
Hearing in noisy environment
Yet to be really tested but i did ok in mild noise at the pub the other day.
Background noise
Ive noticed an ability to pin point directions the sounds are coming from as the aids seem to make some sounds louder on one side as opposed to the other which is kinda cool.
Sounds seem to be on the louder side…It really good at amplifiying softer sounds, like keyboard tapping, computer airvent.
Music
Yet to be test…but watching tv does seem to create a lot of awareness of sounds i may not otherwise have expected…
Hope this helps
