Released on July 8, 2020, MOMENT is Widex's flagship line of hearing aids, available in all styles, and for all hearing losses.
MOMENT is most well-known for having the fastest processing time on the market. The result? A more natural, real time sound quality, with less echo.
According to Widex, “Now you can hear every moment like you used to.” That may be a little optimistic, but MOMENT may be just the hearing aid to get you to the warm, balanced, natural hearing you remember.

Summary
Customers say
The Moment hearing aids are praised for their natural and exceptional sound quality, restoring clarity to high-pitched sounds, TV, and music. Bluetooth connectivity enhances functionality by allowing users to stream audio, answer calls, and control settings via the Moment app, which also provides customization for tone and frequency adjustments. Users appreciate the comfort of the secure rubber domes, extended battery life, and discreet design. However, some experience issues with Bluetooth dropouts during phone calls, less-than-ideal TV sound, occasional feedback, and challenges with background noise in crowded environments. Additionally, a few users found the size uncomfortable, especially when wearing glasses, and noted that the user manual lacked comprehensive instructions.User uploads

The SmartRIC, sRIC R D, RIC 312 D, BTE R D, and BTE 13 D models are all Made for iPhone, which means they can connect directly with iPhones to stream music, phone calls, and more. These models are also compatible with the new Android protocol, Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA), allowing direct streaming from select Android devices with Android 10 and Bluetooth 5.0. If your phone isn't directly compatible with MOMENT, or if you're getting the RIC 10 model or one of the custom in-the-ear Moment models, you can still get Bluetooth functionality via the COM-DEX streaming accessory.
Yes, but only via the COM-DEX or Sound Assist accessory. You'll be able to hear the callers voice streaming through the hearing aids, and the caller will hear your voice via the microphone on the COM-DEX or Sound Assist device, which should be worn around your neck so the microphone is in close proximity to your mouth.
The Moment sRIC and BTE R D models last around 16 hours a day with a few hours of streaming. With no streaming, they should last around 20 hours. The SmartRIC model lasts 37 hours without Bluetooth streaming and up to 27 hours with 8 hours of Bluetooth streaming.
The newest model from Widex (SmartRIC), is compatible with a portable charger, which will allow you to charge the hearing aids on the go. Unfortunately Widex doesn't make a mobile power pack or travel charger for any of their other models, but they do have a recommendation. If you buy a mobile power bank, like the kind used for cell phones, you can plug your Widex into that and draw power from it. Widex recommends the following powerbanks, which can be found on Amazon: ZMI PowerPack 10000mAh, Anker PowerCore 10000mAh, Anker PowerCore 20100mAh.
The SmartRIC model sets itself apart from other Widex Moment models through several distinctive features, despite being built on the same platform and using the same chip. The design has been refined, with Widex adjusting the angle of the microphones to significantly reduce wind and handling noise and improve speech clarity in noisy environments. Additionally, SmartRIC introduces a new portable charger, which is a notable advancement. This charger is equipped with its own lithium-ion battery, capable of storing an industry-best 5 full charges, offering convenience for users on the go. Furthermore, the SmartRIC model boasts an improved battery life over other rechargeable Moment models, delivering 37 hours of operation without Bluetooth streaming and up to 27 hours with 8 hours of Bluetooth streaming. Initially, the SmartRIC is available in the 440, 330, and 220 technology levels, catering to a range of user requirements. The SmartRIC is available in 5 colors, which can be seen here: https://www.widex.com/en/hearing-aids/smartric/

KEY FEATURES
1. Dome
The dome slips over and encloses/protects the receiver/speaker. Domes are made with medical-grade silicone. They come in different shapes and sizes—your hearing care professional will help you pick the right size and style. Selecting the appropriate dome will change the sound performance of your hearing aids, so if you’re not achieving satisfying results with your hearing aids, your hearing provider will often consider trying a different dome style. In some cases, such as for wearers with severe or profound hearing loss, an earmold will be used instead of a dome.
2. Microphone
The microphone picks up the sound from the environment and sends it into the hearing aid for processing. You’ll mostly want to leave the microphone alone, but periodically check it to ensure it’s not being plugged up by hair care products or oils.
3. Receiver
The receiver AKA speaker delivers the sound into the ear. Widex receivers are available in 3 different strengths, standard (S), moderate (M), power (P). Your ZipHearing provider will help you determine the appropriate gain (strength/power) receiver based on the results of your hearing test. Expect to have to replace your receivers every year or so, and this is something that usually takes just a few minutes with your local ZipHearing provider.
4. Receiver wire
This thin, plastic-coated wire transmits power and signals to the receiver/speaker, which is worn inside the ear. Widex receivers are available in 5 different lengths: 0,1,2,3 & 4. Your ZipHearing provider will help you determine the appropriate length of receiver wire, by measuring your ear. In cases when your ZipHearing provider is unsure of the exact receiver length that will work best for you, we’re happy to send out a few different receiver lengths for you to try.
5. Rechargeable or disposable batteries
The model shown is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, expected to last 16-24 hours/day. The battery takes about 3 hours to fully charge, and a 30 minute quick charge will get you about 6 hours of power. Most people do buy the rechargeable model, and simply put the aids in a charger next to their bed at night, allowing them to wake up with fully charged hearing aids. Other models shown on this page (below) can be powered by a disposable size 312, 13, or 10 battery. These disposable batteries will last anywhere from 5-10 days, depending on how much Bluetooth streaming you do. Your purchase from ZipHearing includes a 1 year supply of disposable batteries.
6. Push button
The push button can be programmed by your hearing provider to control either the volume, or program (not both). In addition, a long press and hold turns the hearing aid off. Some people use this exclusively to control the hearing aids, and others use the app to control the hearing aids. Others (most people), use a combination of both the app and push button to make adjustments to their hearing aids. You likely won’t have to use this button often, but some people find them handy to make quick adjustments to their hearing aids when they change listening environments (ie, entering a noisy restaurant, or a quiet room). Your hearing provider will go over the options available and make sure your hearing aids are set up to your ideal preferences.
7. Water resistant
Widex Moment has an IP68 rating, meaning it’s protected from dust getting inside and can withstand exposure to water. The IP68 rating means the hearing aid can technically be underwater up to 3 feet, for up to 30 minutes, without sustaining damage, but we’d still advise exercising caution around water.
8. Wax filter
When it comes to maintaining your hearing aids, this is where you’ll spend most of your time. The wax filter (mostly) prevents wax and oils from getting into the receiver/speaker. Your hearing provider may supply you with Widex Nanocare wax filters enabling you to periodically change these on your own. Some people never have to change these wax filters, others have to change them weekly. Your purchase includes 1 pack of wax filters, and you can purchase additional wax filters directly from your ZipHearing provider, or through a number of sites online such as Amazon.
9. Dome
The dome slips over and encloses/protects the receiver/speaker. Domes are made with medical-grade silicone. They come in different shapes and sizes—your hearing care professional will help you pick the right size and style. Selecting the appropriate dome will change the sound performance of your hearing aids, so if you’re not achieving satisfying results with your hearing aids, your hearing provider will often consider trying a different dome style.
