Widex Allure Simplifies Success for Elizabeth Mallcott with Better Fits in Less Time
Created Updated
For Audiologist Elizabeth Mallcott, time and precision are equally essential. After more than two decades in the ENT field and nearly a year in private practice at Greater Atlanta Hearing, she’s learned to recognize when a hearing aid makes her job easier, and when it makes patients happier. Widex Allure™ does both.“What struck me right away with Allure was how little I had to adjust during fittings,” she said. “When I ran real-ear measurements, it hit targets almost perfectly straight out of the box. That’s a major time saver and a confidence booster!”
Elizabeth has fit several Widex models over the years, but Allure stands out for how efficiently it performs from the first appointment. “It’s not just about fitting faster; It’s about knowing that what you’re fitting is already working well,” she added. “I’m making fewer changes, and patients are coming back needing fewer tweaks. That tells me that the hearing aids are really doing the job well.”
Helping Patients Cut Through the Noise
While its fitting accuracy has made a strong impression, Allure also performs where it matters most for patients: in noisy environments. “Background noise is the number one complaint I hear from new patients, and Allure has made a real difference in that area,” she emphasized.
She recalled one patient with moderate to severe speech-in-noise difficulties who tried Allure at the standard technology level. His test scores nearly reached the normal range after the fitting, a result Elizabeth found remarkable. Other patients have shared similar outcomes during routine follow-ups – noting that they can finally hear across the table in a restaurant, something they hadn’t experienced with previous hearing aids.
Elizabeth also noted improved performance with soft speech, particularly among her male patients who struggle to hear female voices. “Allure gives them access to those high frequencies they were missing,” she added.
Because the fitting tends to be spot on from the start, many of her patients require few, if any, follow-up adjustments. “I’ve had patients return for check-ins and not need a single change,” she said. “That kind of consistency helps build trust right away.”
A Streamlined Experience with Compass Cloud
Elizabeth also credits the updated Compass™ Cloud software with making her workflow smoother. The interface is clean and intuitive, which allows her to move quickly through fittings and adjustments. She also appreciates that the system updates automatically, removing a small but time-consuming step from her setup process. “Some manufacturers have software that’s hard to navigate or overly complicated,” she said. “Compass Cloud is the opposite; it’s simple and straightforward.”
Whether she’s fitting a patient for the first time or helping them navigate background noise, Elizabeth sees Widex Allure as a solution that sets her up for success from the start. “It simplifies my fitting process while also delivering great results,” she said. “When a hearing aid fits this well right away, it just makes everything easier for me and better for my patients’ quality of life.”
