The Widex Moment 440 ITE 312 XP in review
Dieses Gerät ist technisch nicht mehr ganz akutell und wurde von der Widex Allure-Familie abgelöst. Wir nehmen daher eine Abwertung der Gesamtnote vor.
Could this hearing aid from the Widex program be the right choice for you? In our review of the Moment 440 ITE 312 XP, we have highlighted the key aspects. We have here a small-sized top-class hearing aid that is worn in the ear. The comfortable wearing area at the front of the ear canal entrance lays the foundation for good hearing success, as sound has only a very short distance to travel to the eardrum. This way, all tones really reach us where we want them.
The Moment 440 ITE 312 XP provides sufficient amplification for moderate, stronger, and fluctuating hearing losses.
Hearing comfort
The comfort features determine how enjoyable hearing is perceived in everyday life. A solid comfort programming by the audiologist is possible with this hearing aid. A classic noise suppression aims to reduce annoying background noises to a tolerable level. The Moment 440 ITE 312 XP allows for adjustment of the noise suppression to the customer's preferences. This device features excellent wind management, making outdoor activities enjoyable.
The suppression of short, loud sound events has convinced us here; it is quite effective. Spatial hearing is reliably supported by multifunctional microphones and is definitely practical. 15 adjustable equalizer bands provide sufficient flexibility to create a reliable, tailored hearing experience.
An exciting topic in audiology is the use of artificial intelligence, but this is not yet applied in this Widex model.

Operation & connectivity
Everyone has their own individual hearing needs. It is beneficial to be able to personalize hearing aids beyond the automatic functions. In the test, we discovered the following accessibility options: We searched in vain for a button as a quick access option. It probably fell victim to the small design. That is manageable since most adjustments are made automatically by the hearing aid anyway. We do like the small remote controls, and we found one for this model. This allows for discreet minor changes to the volume or sound.
Currently, we do not find the modern form of voice command operation in the Moment 440 ITE 312 XP. Tap Control would have been an interesting feature. With this, you could change the function with a quick tap on the ear. However, that is not available in the Moment 440 ITE 312 XP at the moment.
A very typical method of operation nowadays is apps for smartphones. The Moment 440 ITE 312 XP also has an app. This allows for intuitive adjustment of the volume or program change. You can't go wrong with it because there isn't much more to it. Smartphones or tablets can be easily connected with a small streaming device that wirelessly transmits sound to the hearing aid.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 3,0

Simplicity & security
An important factor for the acceptance of a hearing aid is its practicality in everyday life. This includes, for example, automated functions as well as robustness and user-friendliness. Ideally, the hearing aid would operate largely independently. The performance of the Moment 440 ITE 312 XP is remarkably good in this regard. It has a lot of typical listening situations stored, which the device recognizes autonomously and always generates the appropriate setting. The adjustment to the new hearing experience is supported by a fully automatic acclimatization manager. It adjusts the amplification in barely noticeable steps until my hearing loss is completely compensated. I only need to wear my hearing aids regularly.
The Moment 440 ITE 312 XP is not rechargeable. It continues to receive its power from disposable batteries of size 312, which need to be changed every few days.
We also take a look at the robustness of the housing and find in the datasheet the protection class IP 68. This prevents dust from entering, and water only becomes a danger after prolonged submersion. Protection against contact is also included.
Rating Simplicity & security: 1,8

Extras
Everyone appreciates a few extra features, so let's see if we can find some here: We noticed the tinnitus option. For those who wish, a special tinnitus program can be set up. It provides a gentle noise to distract from the annoying tinnitus when needed. The sounds can be tailored to personal hearing preferences.
Widex keeps up with the times and offers a forward-looking feature with the remote adjustment service. Working people with little time can contact their audiologist online and have their hearing aids reprogrammed. Hearing aid users who have a longer commute to the specialist shop also benefit from this special service.
A new trend in the hearing aid industry is integrated sensors that can track some personal health data, for example. However, the Moment 440 ITE 312 XP does not offer this. It would have been nice to have a few lifestyle features, but the Moment 440 ITE 312 XP does not have those at the moment. Other hearing aids can score with speech translators or fall alarms, but here it remains within the usual range of functions.
Rating Extras: 2,5
Conclusion: Widex Moment 440 ITE 312 XP
