Widex Moment BTE-312

The Widex Moment BTE-312 is a behind-the-ear hearing aid that sits behind the ear and carries sound into the ear canal through a tube and ear mould or a thin tube. Its plain body sits discreetly behind the ear, so the wearer can focus on what they hear instead of on the device. Slim, sturdy and easy to use, this model is the standard battery-powered behind-the-ear option in the Moment family.

Sound and hearing features

The device uses Widex PureSound sound processing. The ZeroDelay technology within PureSound aims to have the sound processed in the device reach the eardrum almost at the same time as the sound arriving directly. When the delay between the two sounds is shorter, the artificial, metallic tone is reduced and sound is perceived as more natural. Automatic adjustment changes the settings as your surroundings change; when you move from a quiet room to a busy market, you do not need to press buttons.

Control and accessories

The Moment BTE-312 is not one of the "D" models with direct Bluetooth streaming. To change volume and programs, you use the Tonelink app installed on a smartphone or Widex DEX accessories. For example, with the RC-DEX remote control you can change volume and program without touching the device, and with TV-DEX you can stream TV sound to your hearing aid.

Battery and daily use

The device runs on a size 312 zinc-air battery, which is changed through the battery door on the body. A behind-the-ear body is easier to hold than in-the-ear models, so putting it on, taking it off and changing the battery are also easy for users with limited finger movement. For spare batteries see our size 312 hearing aid battery page. A water-repellent nano coating and protected microphones help protect the device from everyday moisture such as sweat and rain.

Who is it for?

The Moment BTE-312 can be considered for users who do not need streaming from a phone, prefer to change the battery themselves and want a sturdy behind-the-ear device that is easy to hold. Because the ear mould can be replaced as the ear grows, the behind-the-ear format is also often used for children; details are on our hearing aids for children page. Our specialist decides on suitability based on your hearing test result.

After a free hearing test at our Pendik centre, you can try the Widex Moment BTE-312 hearing aid in your daily life. For information on the SGK (Turkey's Social Security Institution) contribution, see our hearing aids with SGK page.
