Features Of The Product 

In this section we will explain a little more what goes into the Widex Evoke and what features and facilites make this a quality hearing aid product.

Rechargeable

The Widex Evoke uses the Z power rechargeable technology but this is onyl available in their Fusion 2 model range.

'SoundSense'

SoundSense is Widex smart technology platform that allows the user to personalise and customise their own listening experience. Using the SoundSense Learn app on your smartphone, the user is able to find their personal sound up to 25% faster than if the hearing was to do it automatically. However with the Evoke, the built in SoundSense Adapt automatic feautre compliments SoundSense by remembering all the changes you make and intelligently applying them to similar situations, even if you’re in a totally new environment.

Fluid Sound Controller

The Evoke also has a built in 'Fluid Sound Controller' which Widex say will set the optimal sound for different sound environments. It does this via more accurate and faster processing, along with more sound classification, new more efficient programs and better sound rationales.

The Fluid Sound Controller also allows more options in which to tailor the sound for the individual. The fast compression setup can be altered for help in noisy situations by reducing or switching off. You can choose to do this or leave it as it is for safety reasons or where the individual wishes to hear the sounds within their environment.

Rechargeable

The Widex Evoke uses the Z power rechargeable technology but this is onyl available in their Fusion 2 model range.

Please note- There are two apps that can be downloaded for both Apple and Android devices. The are The 'Widex' app and the 'Tonelink' app.
