The Widex Unique 330 is the second to top aid in the new "Unique" hearing aid range from Widex. They have delivered a very strong range at this price point as they always do, retaining some of the better features. This really is outstanding technology and would be a match for their last top of the range hearing aid.
The model types are the same across all of the technology levels, the 330 has the full sized traditional BTE, the Fashion. The middle sized RIC the Fusion and the rather tiny and discreet Passion. In the ear models range from the full sized ITE down to the tiny micro CIC.
As is normal with Widex, the Unique 330 is a 10 channel aid utilising Widex's U-platform chip that the whole Unique range are built on. The 330 uses the new Sound Class Technology feature but the aids are restricted to five possible environmental types, again, the aim is to always maximise speech sounds when they are present and comfort when they are not.
IE technology allows both hearing aids to act as one system through the instantaneous wireless exchange of information. Widex uses this technology in order that the hearing aids can act as a synchronised pair. The IE technology ensures the synchronization of noise reduction, sound classes, volume adjustments and program changes between the two aids.
This feature is always worth mentioning, the speech enhancer is an amazing noise reduction feature from Widex. Most noise reduction features actually just deliver comfort in noise. This one delivers both comfort and clarity, the inter ear feature gives it an even better edge. Both hearing aids communicate and decide as a pair how to apply the feature, this makes it smarter and better.
The aids can automatically detect and adapt in 5 different listening environments and focus on the most dominant speech signal detected in the environment.
This feature is actually only available on a stand alone phone program, the signal from the hearing aid you are using close to the phone is streamed to both hearing aids to help you hear better.
The noise reduction in the Unique 330 is excellent and is suitable for all but the noisiest environments. However if you are really active with lots of exposure to quite noisy environments then you might want to think about the Unique 440.
The 330 also has access to that wider dynamic range of hearing, they have also included the soft sound noise reduction so that you won't get annoyed by hearing the fridge buzzing away in the background.
As with the previous two ranges of Widex hearing aids, the Zen tinnitus management features are available in the 330.
