REASONS

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

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

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

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