The Widex Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D 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.
The purchase of a hearing aid requires careful consideration, as it comes with a considerable price, and one would like to enjoy it for many years. Therefore, we will examine various parameters and provide you with the results of our product tests. This test report is about the Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D by Widex. It is a fine little hearing aid of excellent quality, suitable for light, moderate, and severe hearing needs. It is worn behind the ear. Due to the intelligent decision to place the speaker directly in the ear canal, it offers quite good acoustic sound properties right from the start.
Hearing comfort
What is most bothersome to hearing aid users: Exactly, background noise. That’s why we first look at the comfort features included in the test device. The Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D provides customers with comprehensive noise management. Normal noise suppression is definitely present. It is designed to dampen constant sounds like traffic noise or the hum of the air conditioning. In our test device from Widex, you can be quite satisfied with the depth of noise suppression. It can be adjusted in increments to ensure that sounds do not dominate.
The suppression of short, loud sound events has convinced us here; it is quite effective. The wind suppression is very solid and satisfies us in everyday life. 15 adjustable equalizer bands allow enough range to create a reliable, customized listening experience. Directional hearing often needs a bit of support for hearing aid users. The Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D provides this support confidently and enables good spatial orientation.
If the hearing comfort is not sufficient for you at times, you can make additional, very personal adjustments in the app. There is a special mode that uses artificial intelligence. This enables countless real sound data to be used to help you effectively and purposefully.
Rating Hearing comfort: 2,2
Operation & connectivity
Since you probably don’t have your audiologist by your side all the time, it is quite helpful to be able to make changes to the hearing aid yourself. There are different control options available, and we will look at what the Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D has to offer. Usually, there is a button on the hearing aid, and we found one on the Moment Sheer 440 as well. It can be configured as a volume control or a program selection button, and it can also be disabled if desired. There is also a remote control available for the hearing aid. This allows you to adjust the volume effortlessly. Handling it is not only child’s play, but no one will notice that you are currently adjusting your hearing aids.
Some hearing aids can already be controlled by voice, but this one from Widex unfortunately cannot yet. This would be practical if your fingers are not as mobile anymore or if you simply like smart gadgets. However, there is no control of the hearing aids with a simple tap in this Widex model, as it would have required specific sensors in the housing.
The best way to adjust the Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D is with the associated app. The first apps had just one screen, but this one offers far more than just the usual volume up-down function. Here we clearly see points in our favor. We really enjoyed the direct, wireless streaming. This means that calls from the smartphone can be transmitted to the hearing aids without any additional accessories. This turns the hearing aid into a perfect hands-free system or wireless headphones. Listening to music or watching and hearing videos is incredibly comfortable.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,8

Simplicity & security
We continue the test with a brief assessment of how easy everyday usage will be. Is it complicated? Do I need to be particularly careful? Or do I not need to pay attention to anything else? The Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D performs really well in situation recognition. Anyone looking for a comprehensive and powerful fully automatic hearing aid that requires minimal manual adjustments will be well served here. The adaptive algorithms untangle the individual sound events in the environment and present the soundscape clearly and precisely. Very important for us in terms of simplicity is the support during acclimatization. Especially after having heard poorly for years, it can be difficult to perceive everything at a natural volume. Our test device has an acclimatization manager that helps us with very small volume adjustments throughout the adaptation phase. After a few weeks or months, we have then reached the calculated amplification level.
Easy handling in everyday life certainly also includes power supply. The Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D has a built-in rechargeable battery and can be charged repeatedly. Since a full charge definitely lasts for the entire day, we don't have to worry about the battery dying in the middle of a conversation.
We had a carefree everyday experience in our test due to the IP-68 certification. This indicates that the hearing aid is particularly well protected against dust and water. We marched through the rain and then took out the hearing aids with wet hands - all without any problems. However, the water resistance really only applies to fresh, natural water and not to foamy bathwater or saltwater.
Rating Simplicity & security: 1,0

Extras
We are almost at the end, but perhaps this device still has a few gifts in the form of extra features? Let's take a look: Worth mentioning is the tinnitus program. This will benefit all those who are plagued by annoying ear noises. Pleasant, quiet sounds are set up to gently surround the tinnitus. In the end, the tinnitus sinks into the background noise and is hardly noticeable anymore.
A very good additional benefit is the remote maintenance service. Through the app, you can contact your audiologist and describe your hearing problem. They can adjust the settings accordingly and download them to the hearing aids via the app. For people with little time or a long commute, this is a great service.
If Widex had integrated motion sensors into this hearing aid, individual health tracking could even be possible. However, this is not the case here. These points are lost in the assessment of the Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D. The functionality of the Moment Sheer 440 sRIC R D is limited to normal hearing, which is perfectly fine. Additional features like fall alerts or Siri connections do provide some added value, but they are not relevant for good hearing balance.
Rating Extras: 2,5
