GETTING TO KNOW YOUR WIDEX SOUND ASSIST

Widex Sound Assist is a 'Swiss Army Knife' for your hearing aids that fits in the palm of your hand. It can be a partner or table microphone, handle hands-free calls, stream from digital and analogue sources, and even be a remote control to adjust your hearing aid settings.

Widex Sound Assist must be paired with your hearing aids before you can pair it with other devices such as a smartphone or PC. Widex Sound Assist can be paired with up to eight Bluetooth devices and actively connected to one Bluetooth device.

3. On your Widex Sound Assist, press the volume up button (+) and the power/mode button simultaneously for 3 seconds until the in-use light indicators glow blue.
4. Widex Sound Assist and your hearing aids need to be within 1 meter of each other.
5. The pairing sequence will start automatically.
6. The in-use light indicators will briefly flash green when the pairing is successfully completed.
