The 40th conference of ISHA enjoyed the bright of winter, this February at Mangalore, providing its delegates the opportunity to walk & shop around the beach.

The 40th Ruby Conference of ISHA in Mangalore witnessed participation from five major hearing aid companies, also showcasing their products.

Widex India launched and previewed its new m series, Widex m. With one of the most impressive exhibit right at the entrance Widex dominated by m series took the cake away.

Widex m is the smallest BTE on the market shelves. Widex provides the best qualities of a versatile BTE fitting with cosmetic and natural sound advantages of a CIC – all combined with its unique integrated Signal Processing (ISP) features known from the high-end Inteo series.

One finds such ISP features as the Multi-channel Locator adaptive directional system, the speech enhancer noise reduction and speech enhancement uniquely based on the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) algorithm, and the Multi-directional active Feedback Canceller that models the feedback paths from both microphones, Such a small housing is based on a size 10 battery, so the Eco Tech II technology optimizes the power usage and ensures an acceptably long battery life. As with most Widex aids, 'm' fitting precision is based on Sensogram in-situ threshold measurements.
