Widex vs. Hansaton hearing aids head-to-head comparison

The Widex vs Hansaton hearing aids comparison demonstrates a number of exciting features in both brands’ latest models. Although neither company currently offers a telehealth app, other noteworthy technology is available in the EVOKE hearing aid (Widex) and sound SHD stream hearing aid (Hansaton).

The Widex EVOKE hearing aid uses artificial intelligence (AI) with the ground-breaking Machine Learning capabilities. This AI protocol is the best on the market today, using Widex SoundSense Learn technology. By developing a sound map of the wearer’s hearing preference, the hearing aid is constantly adapting to the listening environment. It remembers hearing preferences and analyses feedback from the wearer. This amazing technology will enhance your hearing in every situation. Hansaton technology does not employ AI as yet, so in this category for the Widex vs Hansaton hearing aids comparison, Widex is the clear winner. Hansaton hearing aids provide excellent hearing in background noise without the use of AI, through their SphereHD platform. This technology uses HearIntelligence for natural hearing and improved binaural and spatial hearing.

Widex vs Hansaton hearing aids have excellent Bluetooth streaming capabilities, with Widex again pulling out in front in this category. Widex uses Pure-link 2.4GHz (Bluetooth Radio), which allows the fast processing required for AI in the hearing aid. This Bluetooth protocol also means a clearer signal of both streamed speech and music and is widely recognised as one of the best for streaming in hearing aids today. You will be able to stream to both ears from iPhones, or through an intermediary device from Android phones. Hansaton hearing aids provide the outstanding feature of being able to stream to any mobile phone that uses the same Bluetooth protocol. Although only streaming to one ear for phone calls, the 2.4 GHz technology gives clear and reliable sound for other media such as video calls, music and TV (through an intermediary device) with the sound SHD stream hearing aid.

Rechargeable batteries are available in both Widex vs Hansaton hearing aids, however Widex uses the Z Power type, which does not provide the longer-lasting charge of Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, which Hansaton utilise. It is important to note that the Lithium-ion rechargeable options that Hansaton use, are only available in the AQ sound SHD (RIC) and the new AQ jam SHD RS (BTE) models, not in their top of the range hearing aid, the sound SHD stream.

The availability of different styles of hearing aids can be an important consideration and with Widex vs Hansaton hearing aids, Widex has a wider array of size options. However, in the Hansaton range is a very small RIC, which is only 2cm in height.

Tinnitus programs are available in both Widex vs Hansaton hearing aids with Widex using Zen Therapy and Hansaton employing the Tinnitus Balance program. Telecoil options, in a number of hearing styles, are available in both brands.

Widex clearly earns a 5-star rating in the Widex vs Hansaton hearing aids assessment. Its outstanding AI EVOKE hearing aid, and the best-rated Bluetooth streaming clarity, makes it stand-out device in a busy marketplace. Hansaton is not to be ignored with its wonderfully clear sound enabled by SphereHD technology and its ability to stream to any Bluetooth compatible phone with its sound SHD stream hearing aid model.

Don’t forget to check your Health Rebate for private insurance. And if you are on a pension, you will find both of these brands have hearing aids that are fitted under the Hearing Services Program scheme for Pensioners.
