WIDEX ZEN
A PROVEN TINNITUS MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

Widex Zen tones offer a proven method for dealing with tinnitus through the therapeutic power of sound.  We're the lone wolf in the hearing aid manufacturing world to champion this innovative technique, and our success stories are a testament to its effectiveness.

Picture this scenario:

Your patient is dealing with the disconcerting, constant hum of tinnitus. Their stress levels are high, which only intensifies their tinnitus. Listening to music brings some reprieve from tinnitus and stress, but it demands their full attention. It might also stir up emotions connected to certain melodies.

They must set aside valuable time to tune in to music to break this relentless cycle of stress and tinnitus.

What's the solution?

ENTER ZEN TONES.

These tones are built on the foundation of fractal mathematics, guaranteeing smooth transitions in tonality and tempo. These sounds are repetitive enough to be comforting and familiar, yet unpredictable enough to keep them from becoming monotonous.

These unique properties mean Zen tones can provide a soothing background to your patient's day without demanding their attention or exacerbating their tinnitus.

As a hearing care professional, you can tailor these tones to your patient's preferences in the Widex COMPASS™ GPS fitting software, adjusting pitch, tempo, and volume for optimal comfort. Your patients are then able to access their Zen hearing programs at just a touch of a button – on their hearing aid or in the hearing aid app.

How do Widex Zen tones contrast with the Widex SoundRelax™ tones?

The Widex Zen tones were the first fractal tones to be implemented in the Widex hearing aids and the WZT program. The base melody for the Zen tones sounds different to SoundRelax tones, who are mostly inspired by nature sounds.
