With 4,000 employees around the world, Widex is one of the six major hearing aid brands in the industry today. The company has built a reputation for innovation and reliability. Widex hearing aids are sold in over 100 countries worldwide. Based in Denmark, Widex operates production facilities in Denmark and Estonia. At Widex, we believe that the best hearing experience comes from natural sound. That's why we strive to make our hearing aid processing as close to the natural hearing system as possible, ensuring a truly natural sound.
With Widex hearing aids, you gain access to a hearing experience so authentic that you might forget you have a hearing loss. Here’s how we achieve it.
Christian Topholm and Erik Westermann founded Widex in 1956 in a Denmark basement. The first Widex hearing aid fit in a pocket. In 1988, the company introduced its first digitally programmable hearing aid. The first digital in-the-ear hearing aid came out in 1995.
1990 saw a significant advance with the start of computerized manufacturing of individual hearing aid shells. This process allowed for more precise modeling processes, making hearing aids fit more precisely.
Widex recognized in 2009 that people with hearing loss need accessories to help them hear phones and televisions better. The company introduced its Dex line of assistive listening technology.
In 2019, Widex merged with Sivantos to form WS Audiology. For now, both hearing aid divisions operate with separate sales and manufacturing branches.
Widex operates according to six core values:
The company has put their core values in action in constructing their eco-friendly headquarters building in Denmark. The building utilizes groundwater for heating and cooling and operates an energy-generating turbine.
When designing new hearing aid models and sound processing strategies, Widex engineers work to create the signature Widex Sound. Widex Sound strives to provide customers with a full spectrum of sound. Customers should hear soft sounds, while loud sounds remain comfortable. The sound quality should be natural.
Widex product lines include the Widex SmartRIC, Widex Moment Sheer, Widex Moment and Widex Evoke hearing aids. These hearing aids have a 108-dB dynamic range making them capable of delivering a wide spectrum of sound to your ear. Widex hearing aids offer the purest and most natural sound possible for wearers.
In 2024, Widex introduced the Widex SmartRIC hearing aid that is elevated on the ear and engineered for improved microphone angles, improved battery life, and is designed for comfort on the ear. This hearing aid incorporates features such as machine learning, Zen and Widex SoundRelax TM tinnitus options, and cell phone streaming capabilities. Over time the hearing aid learns your listening preferences. This process reduces the need for the trial-and-error process of fine-tuning hearing aids in the hearing care professional’s office.
If you have difficulty hearing on the phone or listening to television, Widex offers the Dex line of accessories to stream sound from audio sources directly into your hearing aids. Widex offers hearing aid models in a range from basic to premium technology. Your hearing care professional can help you select the right hearing aid for your needs and budget. If you need your hearing aid programs adjusted, you can ask your hearing care professional to send you new programs remotely. The Widex Remote Care feature works with all Widex wireless hearing aids.

Experience natural sound like never before with the WIDEX MOMENT™. Traditionally, even the best hearing aids have had a distinctive sound, but the revolutionary Widex Moment changes that, delivering the purest, most natural sound ever. Typically, sound processed in a hearing aid reaches the eardrum later than direct sound, creating an artificial effect when these 'out of sync' signals mix. With the Widex Moment, you can hear every moment as you used to, thanks to our innovative PureSound™ technology.
