The Widex TV-Dex MUST be professionally paired by an authorized Widex dealer to a specific set of Widex hearing aids. For pairing assistance, please call 1-800-416-2434, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time (6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time) USA.
TV-DEX transmits audio from the TV (and other audio devices such as a stereo player, MP3, etc) to Widex hearing aids in stereo.
The system includes a base station that accepts direct line input from the TV and one additional audio player, such as a stereo. It wirelessly transmits that input to the controller, which is placed within 1 meter (3 feet) from the wearer’s hearing aids when in use. When not in use, the controller can be inserted back into the base station to be recharged.
TV signals from the controller are transmitted to the hearing aids through near-field inductive transmission (NFIT). The maximum distance between the TV-DEX controller and its base station is 10 m (about 32 feet), and the maximum transmission distance between the TV-DEX controller and the CLEAR hearing aids is 1 m (about 3 feet).
An important distinction of the Widex TV-DEX (from many commercial TV viewing devices) is that Bluetooth is not used. Instead, a high-frequency carrier (2.4 GHz) is used to carry the TV signal in a stereo format at 212 kbit/s. This has the advantage of a lower current drain and a much smaller delay. The Widex TV-DEX has the broadest transmission bandwidth on the market from 100 Hz to 11.2 kHz. It allows reproduction of the richest and the clearest sound quality possible. From a speech intelligibility perspective, it facilitates a better transmission of high frequency speech sounds (eg, fricatives) than a transmission system that has a narrower bandwidth.
To ensure excellent sound quality of the TV signals and perfect synchrony between the visual and auditory signals, “Echo-Free” technology is utilized to achieve a delay of less than 5 ms. To extend the battery life of the TV-DEX, Eco-Tech III technology is used, so one charge lasts for approximately 10 hours of continuous use. This is significantly longer than many other commercial TV viewing devices, which typically last only 5 to 6 hours. The current drain on the hearing aids when receiving TV signals is approximately 1.5 mA.
The Widex TV-DEX also allows the wearers to control the volume of the TV and the hearing aid microphone separately. In a Room “On” condition, the TV-DEX and the hearing aid microphone are both active to allow hearing of the TV signals as well as any environmental sounds. This will be ideal for TV viewing in quiet. In the Room “Off” condition, the hearing aid microphone is deactivated so only the TV signals are received. This has the advantage of eliminating any influence of reverberation and noise on the enjoyment of the TV signals.
The Widex TV-DEX yields a significantly better sound quality than many other forms of transmission technologies. It also shows that it improves speech understanding during TV viewing in a noisy environment.

Leonard M. From Seattle, WA. –
The Widex TV-Dex works as advertised. It provides excellent sound quality to my Widex hearing aids. I have it setting on the table next to my chair and use it similar to the TV remote control. My wife can adjust the volume of the TV to her comfort level and then I can use my TV Dex remote to adjust the volume to my hearing aids. Works great. High buy recommendation.
