Widex Allure Hearing Aids Available for Professional Fitting in Beaufort

At Kalady Audiology, we're excited to introduce Widex Allure - the most advanced Widex hearing aid platform to date. This new technology combines innovative features and refined design to help you experience clear, natural sound in even the most challenging environments.

The Evolution of Widex Technology

The Widex Allure platform represents a significant advancement in hearing technology, powered by the all-new W1 chip. This chip delivers 4 times faster processing speeds and 4 times more memory compared to previous Widex models. This revolutionary leap forward allows for more sophisticated sound processing that helps you stay connected to your environment while experiencing crystal-clear speech.

Key Features of Widex Allure

Allure PureSound™

Building on Widex's established PureSound Processing and ZeroDelay technology, Allure PureSound processes sound in just 0.5 milliseconds. This incredibly fast processing helps eliminate distortion and provides a more natural listening experience, particularly beneficial for those with mild hearing loss.

Speech Enhancer Pro

Through advanced noise management technology, Widex Allure can help you focus on the sounds that matter most. The system softens unwanted background noise while enhancing speech for clearer conversations. What makes this technology special is that it preserves your awareness of your surroundings while bringing speech to the forefront.

The Speech Enhancer Pro features a 52-band spectral analysis system that provides detailed control over speech and noise. Clinical studies have shown that 92% of listeners preferred this feature in noisy situations, with 96% reporting less noise annoyance in various listening environments.

Dynamic Feedback Controller

The redesigned Dynamic Feedback Controller technology ensures adaptability for every user. This system reduces annoying whistling sounds by tailoring its response to the unique shape of your ear canal. Unlike other feedback control systems that may compromise sound quality, Widex uses adaptive frequency shifting technology that preserves the natural sound quality.

Dedicated Streaming Compressor

With the dedicated streaming compressor, you can enjoy your favorite music and podcasts without distracting changes in volume or interference from external noises. This feature maintains consistent audio quality when streaming from your devices.

Best Practices Fitting with Real Ear Measurements

At Kalady Audiology, Dr. Meg Kalady follows industry best practices when fitting hearing aids, including using Real Ear Measurements (REM) for precise programming. This advanced verification method ensures your Widex Allure hearing aids are programmed exactly to your unique hearing loss.

Real Ear Measurements involve placing a tiny microphone in your ear canal to measure the actual sound delivered by your hearing aids. This allows Dr. Kalady to verify that your hearing aids are providing the exact amplification you need across all frequencies. Only about 30% of hearing healthcare providers utilize this critical measurement technique, which is why our patients experience an incredibly high rate of success with their hearing treatment.

The fitting and programming period is the single most important series of appointments you'll have with us. Since each type of hearing loss is different and affects individuals in various ways, it takes extreme precision to program your hearing aids correctly. Real Ear Measurements eliminate guesswork and ensure your Widex Allure hearing aids are optimized specifically for your hearing profile.

The Importance of Professional Fitting

While over-the-counter hearing devices have become available, they cannot match the personalized care and precision fitting that comes with professionally fitted hearing aids. Dr. Meg Kalady has the expertise to:

  1. Conduct a comprehensive hearing evaluation to determine your exact hearing needs
  2. Recommend the appropriate technology level based on your lifestyle and hearing requirements
  3. Program your hearing aids using Real Ear Measurements for optimal performance
  4. Provide ongoing support, adjustments, and maintenance
  5. Offer aural rehabilitation to help you adapt to your new hearing aids
