WHAT IS SOUNDSENSE LEARN (aka MySound)
When you are able to make changes yourself in real-time, in that specific moment, it can vastly improve how a wearer is hearing in that specific sound environment. If a hearing professional is not in that exact situation with their client, then our attempts to make sound adjustments based on our clients’ verbal descriptions it is all just guesswork.
Benefits From SoundSense Learn/MySound
HOW DOES SOUNDSENSE LEARN/MySound WORK?
When you use SoundSense Learn/MySound with your Widex MOMENT Sheer or Evoke hearing aids, you first input your environment and hearing intention. Drawing on data from the Widex Cloud, a machine learning algorithm generates two combinations of hearing aid settings that may improve your ability to hear.
You choose the one that sounds better to you and indicate how much you prefer it. The process repeats itself up to 12 times, but you can stop at any point once you’re satisfied with how you’re hearing.
How SoundSense Learn/MySound makes listening easier (so you can forget about your hearing aid)
Today’s hearing aids come with automation to help you forget about the hearing aid and focus on listening. But what if the listening experience doesn’t match how you want to hear?
Your HearSource hearing care professional has done a great job in programming your Widex hearing aids. You’ve got automatic sound environment detection turned on, and you’re all set to go out into the world and listen to your heart’s content, Yet at some point, you may experience a listening situation where the sound is not quite how you would like it.
SoundSense Learn is available in the Widex MOMENT Sheer hearing aids.
SoundSense Learn is available in the Widex Evoke hearing aids.
Here’s why:
The automatic system in your hearing aid makes assumptions about how you want to hear. And while it’s most often right, occasionally it doesn’t hit the mark. Now you have to adjust your hearing aid settings – maybe only a little bit.
But where to start?
Enter SoundSense Learn/MySound. SoundSense Learn is a technology that helps you control how you hear, at the moment, simply by listening to sound profiles suggested by an app on your smartphone. The easy-to-use interface guides you to better hearing by using simple A/B comparisons.
All you have to do is choose what sounds best to you, based on what it is you intend to hear. The automatic machine learning algorithm takes care of the rest. Here’s how it works:

I have worn Widex Evoke hearing aids for almost a year now. I have had to use the SoundSense Learn app only two times. Once at church and once at a local watering hole with way too much background noise. Both times I was able to quickly tune my hearing aids to my liking. This app is an excellent tool for hearing aid wearers to use.
