At Boerne Hearing & Tinnitus, we're excited to introduce the new Widex Allure hearing aids to our patients. This latest technology from Widex delivers exceptional sound quality with a focus on providing natural clarity and speech understanding, even in challenging listening environments.
What Makes Widex Allure Special
The new Widex Allure is built on the powerful W1 chip, Widex's fastest processing chip ever. This advanced technology enables several key features that can significantly improve your hearing experience:
Allure PureSound™
For those with mild hearing loss or new hearing aid users, Allure PureSound™ processes sound differently than other hearing aids. Using ZeroDelay technology, it provides clear, distortion-free speech that sounds natural and immersive.
Speech Enhancer Pro
One of the biggest challenges for hearing aid wearers is understanding speech in noisy environments. Widex Allure addresses this with advanced noise management that softens unwanted background noise while enhancing speech clarity, all while preserving environmental awareness.
Dynamic Feedback Controller
The redesigned Dynamic Feedback Controller reduces annoying whistling sounds by adapting to the unique shape of your ear canal. This technology ensures you can enjoy clear sound without the distraction of feedback.
Dedicated Streaming Compressor
Enjoy your favorite music, podcasts, and other audio content without distracting volume changes or interference from external noises.
Battery Life and Charging Options
Widex Allure offers up to 25 hours of battery life on a single charge, including up to 7 hours of streaming. Two charging options are available:
- Standard Desktop Charger: A compact, stylish device for reliable charging. A 4-hour charge provides a full day of use, while a 30-minute quick charge gives you 4 hours of use.
- Charge n Clean: This option combines charging with automatic drying and sanitization to keep your hearing aids in optimal condition.
Connectivity Features
Widex Allure seamlessly connects to your digital devices:
- Stream calls, music, and other audio directly to your hearing aids
- Hands-free calling for iPhone users
- Compatible with both iOS and Android devices
- Bluetooth LE Audio compatibility (with future Auracast™ readiness pending a firmware update)
The Widex Allure App
The newly redesigned Widex Allure app makes controlling your hearing aids simple and intuitive:
Key App Features:
- Direct streaming control: Adjust the balance between streamed audio and environmental sounds
- Sound customization: Fine-tune bass, midrange, and treble frequencies
- AI Assistants: Get instant sound recommendations based on other users' preferences or create personal sound settings

How Widex Allure Compares to Other Leading Hearing Aids
When considering new hearing aids, it's helpful to understand how Widex Allure compares to other top models available at our practice:
Widex Allure vs. Oticon Intent
Oticon Intent uses Deep Neural Network 2.0 technology and More Sound Intelligence 3.0 for improved noise reduction, while Widex Allure relies on its W1 chip with Speech Enhancer Pro. Both offer excellent speech clarity in noise but use different approaches. Oticon Intent features 4D sensor technology that adapts settings based on movement, while Widex focuses on natural sound quality with its ZeroDelay technology.
Widex Allure vs. Phonak Infinio
Phonak Infinio provides AI-based denoising with Spheric Speech Clarity, while Widex Allure offers Speech Enhancer Pro. Both devices deliver excellent speech understanding in noise, with slightly different approaches to sound processing. Phonak highlights its DEEPSONIC™ chip, while Widex emphasizes the natural sound quality of its W1 chip.
Widex Allure vs. ReSound Vivia
ReSound Vivia is another AI-driven hearing aid with a Deep Neural Network for improved speech clarity. While both devices offer excellent connectivity with Bluetooth LE Audio capabilities, ReSound Vivia boasts slightly longer battery life at up to 30 hours compared to Widex Allure's 25 hours. Both devices emphasize a natural listening experience with directional microphone systems.
Widex Allure vs. Starkey Edge AI
Starkey Edge AI includes health tracking functions like step counting and fall detection, features not found in the Widex Allure. Meanwhile, Widex puts greater emphasis on sound quality with its ZeroDelay technology. Both hearing aids offer strong connectivity options, though Starkey claims longer battery life with up to 51 hours for their standard RIC model.
