Widex Unique Passion RIC

The Widex Unique Passion RIC is the small, elegant receiver-in-canal model in the Unique range. The body that sits behind the ear is small enough to hide behind the outer ear; the thin wire that carries sound to the receiver in the ear canal is easily hidden by hair or the arm of your glasses. For this reason, Passion is designed for users who want a device that is almost invisible when worn. Unique hearing aids aim to help you hear more sound wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Sound and hearing features

Passion offers the sound processing of the Unique range in a small body. The device recognises its surroundings automatically, adjusts itself using nine sound classes and reduces wind noise to make it easier to follow conversations outdoors. In fittings where the ear canal can be left open, the wearer's own voice sounds more natural and the blocked feeling in the ear is reduced.

Battery and use

In keeping with the size of its body, Passion uses a size 10 battery. A small battery needs changing more often than larger ones, so we recommend carrying spare batteries with you. For spares, see our size 10 hearing aid battery page. Opening and closing the battery door and inserting the battery become easier with a few practice runs that our specialist will show you at fitting. Leaving the battery door open at night both prevents the battery from running down unnecessarily and helps moisture escape.

Connectivity

Passion can be used with Widex DEX accessories. TV-DEX is used for television and COM-DEX for phones and other Bluetooth devices; the RC-DEX remote control can be used for volume and program settings. Because the body is small, most users find it easier to change settings with the remote control. Attaching the remote to a key ring keeps it to hand throughout the day. Adjusting the volume from the remote while using TV-DEX in front of the television also helps family members listen to the television at a comfortable level.

Who is it suitable for?

Passion can be considered by users with mild to moderate hearing loss who do not want the device to be seen and are looking for an elegant design. It is better suited to people with good manual dexterity who will not find small batteries and small parts difficult. Those who want more receiver options and a program button can compare the Unique Fusion RIC.
