mind440

The Widex mind™440 series of hearing aids uses our unique and powerful Dual Integrated Signal Processing platform. This incorporates the unique Audibility Extender, Speech Enhancer and Zen features that deliver proven user benefits:

The Audibility Extender improves the perception and production of important speech sounds – specifically high-frequency consonants. ^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
The Speech Enhancer improves speech intelligibility in noisy environments.¹³
Zen aids relaxation and concentration for hearing aid users; tinnitus sufferers have also rated Zen as helping reduce the effects of tinnitus. ^{9, 10, 11}

Evidence-Based Practice

The proven user benefits have been identified through the principles of Evidence-Based Practice - controlled clinical and ‘ideal situation’ trials (efficacy) and observed everyday usage (effectiveness).

Improved technological platform

Widex ISP technology continuously controls and coordinates all functions in the hearing aid automatically in response to changes in the user’s listening environment. With Dual ISP, it is no longer simply a question of analysing and processing sound individually according to the individual hearing loss. It is now possible to combine features with a listening focus and an awareness focus.

Dual ISP consists of two layers

The listening layer, combining high definition sound analysis and sound processing with system optimisation.
The awareness layer, including the fractal generator and the SmartSpeak signalling mechanism. This function informs users of various hearing aid functions such as low battery power and program mode.

Seamless integration

Coordinating both these layers is the Dynamic Integrator, the core of the Dual ISP platform. The Dynamic Integrator stores audiological and program data, as well as user profiles such as needs and preferences.

When using the Compass fitting software, all individual tailoring of the fitting parameters is integrated in the Dual ISP platform through the Dynamic Integrator.
