Are you seeking better speech intelligibility in every situation - including in noisy surroundings? Widex introduces AIKIA - a completely new range of hearing aids introducing proven Widex Integrated Signal Processing^TM technology in the mid-range sector.
AIKIA adapts to each situation you find yourself in during your busy day and acts as a vital tool to help you to re-establish balance in your life.

Improved hearing in noise
AIKIA makes it much easier to hold a conversation - even when several people are talking at once, or when there is some other kind of background noise. AIKIA provides you with:

• Better speech intelligibility in noisy surroundings
• A unique balance between your lifestyle and the sound environment in your daily life
• Improved sound reproduction for daily listening

AIKIA^TM challenges the technological standard
AIKIA provides the optimum balance between state-of-the-art technology, user lifestyle considerations and price. Three cornerstones form the basis for the Integrated Signal Processing in the AIKIA^TM series:

• Detailed Sound Analysis
• Flexible Sound Processing
• Automatic System Optimiser

AIKIA^TM focuses on the details in sound

With an AIKIA^TM hearing aid you will experience better speech intelligibility, even in noisy surroundings.

The sound track illustrates a conversation as you would hear it with a sloping hearing loss from 30 dB at 500 Hz to 60 dB at 4 kHz. Press the “AIKIA on” button and you will hear the details in the conversation despite the noisy surroundings.

With an AIKIA hearing aid you will also experience:

• Better sound reproduction, no matter where the sound comes from
• Easier introduction to hearing aid use

Note that the sound examples are fictive and average. In an actual fitting situation the sound will be tailored to the individual AIKIA user.

AIKIA^TM is flexible

Thanks to its great flexibility, AIKIA adapts to the listening environments you are in during your day. The flexibility ensures that sound at a distance is enhanced, while soft speech sounds become audible.

You can choose between the three scenarios by clicking the tabs and hear how speech is perceived in that particular situation with a sloping hearing loss from 30 dB at 500 Hz to 60 dB at 4 kHz. Press the "AIKIA on" button and you can hear how the same situation sounds with an AIKIA^TM hearing aid.

Flexibility in AIKIA also means:

• Flexible sound processing ensures that noise is attenuated and loud sounds never become uncomfortably loud.
• The hearing aid focuses on the sound source, irrespective of its direction.

Note that the sound examples are fictive and average. In an actual fitting situation the sound will be tailored to the individual AIKIA user.

AIKIA^TM is fully automatic

AIKIA's unique flexibility allows a number of programs to be adapted to your individual needs and lifestyle. As shown above, AIKIA automatically adapts to all kinds of lifestyles and hearing needs.

That AIKIA is fully automatic has other advantages:

• Accurate fitting, which results in a precise and comfortable sound
• Fewer battery changes due to minimal power consumption

Models and accessories

The AIKIA^TM series has an aid to suit every requirement and wish. The series encompasses everything from the discreet CIC (completely-in-canal) to in-the-ear instruments and behind-the-ear instruments of various amplification strengths, as well as open fitting capability.

Widex also offers an optional RC3 remote control.
