ChildFit
When working with very young children, it is not always possible to obtain all of the information
necessary for an accurate hearing aid fitting. To that end, Widex has developed the ChildFit procedure
which differs from our usual fitting procedure. ChildFit gives you a very precise estimated first fitting
based on only a few items of information about the child. And in addition to our new ChildFit procedure,
the Widex Baby hearing aid has been especially designed for infants and young children.
