Widex Moment CIC

Widex Moment CIC is a hearing aid that sits inside the ear canal rather than behind the ear. CIC (completely-in-canal) models are custom-made from an impression of your ear. Because the device sits inside the canal, usually only a small removal cord can be seen from outside. Despite its small size, it carries the sound processing of the Moment family.

Sound and hearing features

The Moment CIC runs on PureSound sound processing with ZeroDelay technology. With the microphone close to the entrance of the ear canal, the outer ear's natural role in collecting and directing sound is put to use. This also makes it comfortable in the wind and when holding a phone to the ear. Automatic settings adjust the sound to the changing settings of the day, so you do not need to fiddle with the device when moving between home, work and the street. For people with tinnitus, the suitability of the Widex Zen program can be assessed separately.

Control

Small in-the-ear models have limited room for buttons. To control the Moment CIC, you can use a DEX accessory, for example the RC-DEX remote control, or the Tonelink app installed on a smartphone. This lets you adjust volume and programs simply, without touching the device.

Battery and care

In-the-ear devices are in direct contact with earwax and moisture, so regular cleaning is important. Changing the wax filter on time helps prevent the sound from cutting out. For care steps, see our hearing aid maintenance page. Keeping the devices in a drying box at night also helps protect them from moisture. Gently pulling the ear up and back when inserting the device helps the shell sit comfortably in the canal. If the shell becomes loose or presses over time, we check it at our centre and remake it if needed.

Who is it suitable for?

The Moment CIC can be considered for people who do not want to wear a device behind the ear, want to avoid crowding behind the ear with glasses or a mask, and have a wide enough ear canal. Other styles may be more suitable for profound hearing loss or narrow ear canals; our specialist makes this decision after your ear examination and hearing test.

At our Pendik centre, after a free hearing test and an ear impression, we can talk about trying the Widex Moment CIC hearing aid. For other options, see our in-the-ear hearing aids page.
