Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is used in many industries and technologies today – even if it’s not something you notice. Hearing aids are no exception.
For years, hearing aids have been using AI to figure out your patient’s listening environment and provide the best sound. These days, AI in hearing aids can do so much more than that.
In this episode of Listen Up!, our hearing podcast, we talk about how Widex is using the immense power of AI to let users hear the way they want to hear.
AI is when a computer program can think and learn, but there are different levels of AI. The most common is symbolic AI, where a machine learns to perform a human task.
A deeper version of AI, machine learning, trains a computer to predict future outcomes based on human input. That’s what our AI-based personalization feature, SoundSense Learn, does.
SoundSense Learn is a hearing aid feature that’s based on the deeper AI form, Machine Learning.
This feature calculates the best possible hearing settings in the moment based on input from the user. As SoundSense Learn gets smarter, it continues to get faster at calculating the best sound for each user.
The Widex PureSound™ is now available for even more users in the behind-the-ear model. The BTE R D and BTE 13 D comes with Widex PureSound™ and benefits from our highly precise in-situ gain calculations during fitting via TruAcoustics™.
The BTE 13 D has all of this plus 2.4 GHz streaming via Widex TV Play and the Widex Moment app (iOS and Android) as well as our upgraded SoundSense Learn features.
