I called that 800 number and asked for a login. They said they do not allow it for anyone but audiologists selling Widex.

No I don't have a link, and I am guessing that you have to be an audiologist that sells WIDEX to get a link to it.

Hi All, I'm reading that the WIDEX Allure is fit with a cloud-based application. I take it that this means it will be impossible to do-it-yourself fitting with these, because it will not be possible to get access to that cloud app (unless you're an audi selling Widex). Anyone have different...

Hi! I'd like to get the latest version too. Thank you!

Hello PVC, My tinnitus consists of a few high-pitched, more-or-less constant sounds. The primary one is at just about 10kHz. If there is a chance that having more high-pitched noise reach my brain could slow down the worsening of tinnitus, it's worth a try. But also, I play piano, and...

hi All, I want to get some hearing aids that have strong gain at 8kHz and 10kHz too. The WIDEX Moment smart RIC and the Allure seem to have about the same gain spectrum. But the MOMENT models have a feature called "high-frequency boost", and in the product specs for Allure they do not list...

Yes, I don't notice it if I'm not thinking about it. But I'm afraid it will get worse. If supplying more high-frequency input can possibly slow it down, then why not. There's another reason though - I listen to piano music, and though the top of the keyboard is 4.2kHz, the overtones, which...

I read it in a mag called "New Scientist". I couldn't find a specific reference, but I found an article that is referring to the same vein of research: https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/new-thinking-about-tinnitus I'll keep looking for the other article.

Hi All, I'm trying to better understand HA specs. It seems one of the most key things is the max output at full gain given a 90 dBspl input, a.k.a. OSPL90. Here's an example: That's hard to read, but the graph line hits the 90 dBSPL at 8kHz. If I understand that correctly, it means there...

How about if you buy an OTC HA directly from, say, Jabra? Do you get the fitting SW from them then? Thanks!

I have tinnitus in both ears, all the time, but if I'm paying attention to something else I don't notice it. I recently read in a magazine called 'New Scientist' that the latest theory is that tinnitus is caused by the brain generating "sound" to compensate for the loss of external input. I...

Hi @mthomas, If I understand these audiogram plots correctly, yours shows, for example, that the softest sound you can hear at 8kHz in the right ear is about 90dB. That standard you quote seems very low - I mean, you could meet that with severe hearing loss, I think. Maybe the units are...

Hi, If you buy Jabra Enhance HAs from Costo, don't you get access to the fitting SW? -atm

Hello All, Would someone point me to Genie 2 for Zircon 2 HAs? Thanks!

Thanks for the extremely valuable resource!
