REASONS
INTRODUCING THE<br />
true-to-life sound<br />
OF WIDEX <strong>DREAM</strong><br />
<strong>DREAM</strong> is the new family of exceptional hearing aids from Widex.<br />
Driven by the new and ground-breaking technological platform<br />
TRUE ISP, the <strong>DREAM</strong> series sets a new standard in hearing aid<br />
performance.<br />
WIDEX <strong>DREAM</strong> is available in four performance levels, each with<br />
seven models covering minimal to severe-to-profound hearing loss.<br />
So there is a <strong>DREAM</strong> for everyone.<br />
And it also offers improvements to some of our most valued signature<br />
features with the brand new COMPASS GPS fitting software.<br />
But best of all, the <strong>DREAM</strong> series gives you 3 excellent reasons to<br />
recommend it to your clients: MORE SOUND, MORE WORDS and a<br />
MORE PERSONAL experience.<br />
Put simply, 3 reasons why.<br />

...RICHER SOUND OUT<br />
The preservation of real sound quality in hearing aids needs to be<br />
of the highest priority.<br />
WIDEX <strong>DREAM</strong> features True-Input Technology that dramatically<br />
widens the input range and maintains the fidelity of all sounds<br />
entering the hearing aid, giving hearing aid users a larger, usable<br />
sound picture.<br />
The sounds reproduced by WIDEX <strong>DREAM</strong> True-Input Technology<br />
are transparent, with no input handling artifacts, allowing for<br />
an almost true-to-life listening experience. Even high-level inputs<br />
are delivered artifact-free for a richer, fuller sound picture.<br />
Users wearing WIDEX <strong>DREAM</strong> hearing aids will enjoy rich and<br />
detailed sound quality even in high intensity environments such as<br />
concerts, parties or sport events. And test results confirm that the<br />
<strong>DREAM</strong> sound is superior.<br />

Initial sound quality testing of <strong>DREAM</strong> reveals that hearing aid users have<br />
a clear preference for <strong>DREAM</strong>’s True-Input Technology compared to other<br />
high performing technology. Inputs used for testing were four different<br />
sound environment samples, each played back to subjects at five different<br />
high intensity input levels.<br />

... speech intelligibility<br />
Widex believes that all hearing aids should give users the ability to<br />
understand speech.<br />
However, speech understanding is often compromised in noisy environments.<br />
WIDEX <strong>DREAM</strong> is different.<br />
Our True-Input Technology enables true integrated signal processing.<br />
It ensures an artifact-free signal, so that all sound processing in<br />
<strong>DREAM</strong> can reach its full potential. And processing features like the<br />
IE Speech Enhancer, HD Locator and compression system in <strong>DREAM</strong><br />
are able to more effectively select the optimal automatic setting for<br />
speech intelligibility.<br />
User testing confirms that the result is dramatically improved<br />
speech understanding, even in extremely noisy environments. From<br />
a crowded restaurant to a noisy concert, WIDEX <strong>DREAM</strong> hearing<br />
aids let users enjoy uncompromised speech understanding.<br />

Speech intelligibility in high level noise<br />

intelligibility when listening to speech in high level noise. The speech intelligibility<br />
was measured using the NU-6 auditory test. The test was performed<br />
under headphone conditions.<br />
