The Widex Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP in review
Widex presents the Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP, a model from the low-budget range. It can compensate for mild to moderate hearing loss. It is a slightly visible hearing aid that delivers good sound due to the sound outlet being close to the eardrum. It is worn in the ear.
Hearing comfort
Hearing aids are supposed to not only bring speech to the ear but also sound pleasant. So let's first look at the comfort features. What types of noise does the hearing aid recognize? Are they dampened or transmitted unchanged? Is the hearing aid suitable for a lively everyday life? Here with this test device, we found very few options for comfort adjustment. As with every hearing aid, it also includes typical noise cancellation. It is meant to reduce uniform, noisy background sounds to the point where they no longer dominate. The Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP offers only a very slight noise reduction.
Those who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors will like this Widex device. Normally, wind noise can be somewhat bothersome. However, this is not an issue here because the ear cup provides good mechanical protection. Unfortunately, we did not find a pop filter that responds to short, loud sounds. The Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP has only 6 frequency bands, just meeting the minimum requirements. One should not have overly high expectations regarding sound quality. Spatial hearing with the Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP occurs in a completely natural way. Due to its special placement deep in the ear canal, the function of the ear cup is preserved, and there are no losses in directional hearing.
Signal processing is based, among other things, on typical frequency patterns of speech and noise, but artificial intelligence is not yet in use here.
Rating Hearing comfort: 3,7

Operation & connectivity
Digital hearing aids have long gone beyond the basic amplification function. Apps and other control options significantly expand the range of functions, which is why we are also looking at this important topic with the Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP from Widex. We searched in vain for a button as a quick access option. It has likely fallen victim to the small size. That's manageable, as most settings are automatically adjusted by the hearing aid anyway. A remote control is available for the Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP. It is quite handy, fits in your pocket, and offers a volume option as well as various hearing programs.
We are always pleased when a hearing aid surprises us with a great additional feature. For instance, we would have liked to see a voice control feature at this point. However, this is currently not available in the Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP. If there are sensors in the hearing aid, a tap control feature could be possible, which would trigger a specific function by tapping your fingers on your ear. However, this option is not available in the Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP.
A very typical control option nowadays is smartphone apps. The Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP also has an app. This allows you to intuitively adjust the volume or change the program. You can't go wrong with it, as there's not much more it can do. The hearing aid can also be used as a headset and requires a small additional device for this. When you clip it to your collar, the entire multimedia world opens up to you. Smartphone, tablet, laptop – all Bluetooth-enabled devices can be wirelessly connected to the hearing aid.

Simplicity & security
Now let's take a look at how the usage unfolds in everyday life. Is the handling easy? Do I get a safe device? Unfortunately, the Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP cannot provide automatic situation recognition; we need to make manual adjustments to hear well in different acoustic situations. The built-in acclimatization manager can be of great help when starting your journey into the world of hearing aids. Its job is to gradually increase the volume of the hearing device in tiny steps until the target volume is reached. This way, you can relax and gradually get used to the new auditory experiences. More information about acclimatization and other hearing aids with this feature can be found here: Getting used to hearing aids.
Many hearing aids nowadays have a rechargeable battery, but the Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP continues to operate on disposable batteries. This is somewhat cumbersome to handle and also puts a strain on the environment.
With an IP 68 certification, the hearing device can withstand a variety of adverse influences. Dust cannot penetrate, it can withstand longer submersion in water, and it is also protected against touches.

Extras
Everyone appreciates a few extra features, so let's see if we can find some here: Are you among those suffering from tinnitus? Then you could use the optional tinnitus program in the Magnify 60 ITE 312 XP. Soft, gentle sounds are tailored to your hearing and engage all areas of the inner ear. It's nothing more than a distraction technique, and it works surprisingly well. The tinnitus fades into the general noise and no longer bothers you. This is a simple but effective tool and earns extra points from us.
A clever tool is the integrated remote maintenance service. Almost everyone has a smartphone, and time is a precious commodity. That's why such a remote maintenance service is absolutely appropriate. Those who need a new programming of their hearing aids can easily contact the audiologist via the app and describe their hearing preferences. Through a cloud service, the professional can then send a customized setting as a data package to the app. From there, it gets loaded onto the hearing aid and can be tried out immediately. That definitely deserves extra points in our test.
Tracking health data is a real added value in modern hearing aids. However, this Widex model lacks the sensors for this service. The device from Widex focuses on essential hearing functions and does not offer extras like voice assistants or translation features. While that would have been fun, it is not necessary for a good listening experience.
Rating Extras: 2,5
