Widex hearing instruments may not provide the same benefits to all users, and may not be appropriate for everyone with a hearing loss. Your authorized Widex dispenser will evaluate your hearing loss (and may charge a fee for this evaluation) to determine if Widex hearing instruments can help you. Your success with Widex hearing instruments depends upon a competent examination, proper fitting and your ability to adapt to using a hearing instrument.
