WIDEX BEYOND™ GOES RECHARGEABLE

Not only that, current BEYOND users will be able to get BEYOND Z by having
their current BEYOND hearing aids retrofitted for a fee.
Until recently, rechargeable hearing aids were limited to using nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) batteries that frequently deliver less than a full day of power. ZPower has created an innovative silver-zinc rechargeable battery technology that when combined with Widex market leading low power consumption delivers a full day of power on a single charge.
“Right now, the market is also offering rechargeable hearing aids. So, building on the success of BEYOND, the introduction of a rechargeable option was a natural next step,” according to Jørgen Jensen, CEO, Widex.
The first shipments will begin in Q4 ’17 in the US and Canada, and the rest of the markets from Q1 ‘18 and will cover all BEYOND models.
