3 fusion ONE MODEL SUITS ALL The CLEAR family is the premium wireless solution from Widex. These revolutionary hearing aids communicate with each other instantly and constantly to give users a natural sound experience. Now, with the introduction of the WIDEX CLEAR FUSION model, access to that natural sound is made even easier. The FUSION model provide professionals with the ultimate in flexibility. Three different receivers, as well as various ear-tip and custom earmould options, mean that FUSION can suit most types of hearing loss, from minimal to profound, and with an output extending up to 137 db SPL. And all in the one incredibly small housing. Being part of the CLEAR family, FUSION uses our proprietary WidexLink technology, the first wireless technology designed specifically for hearing aids. For instance, using what we call InterEar, this technology ensures that two hearing aids are coordinated and synchronised seamlessly and that they communicate with each other up to 21 times a second. For users with severe to profound hearing loss, this is the first time they can truly reap the benefits of natural sound in two hearing aids linked together. * Shown in natural size WIDEX CLEAR FUSION combines the best of Widex technology all in the one model and in a much smaller housing than standard models. 3

4 ONE MODEL, countless FEATURES Reduced wind noise Disturbance from wind noise is a common challenge for all hearing aid users. FUSION features a new and improved, nano-coated microphone cover that significantly reduces wind noise. Phone calls in both hearing aids The Phone+ feature in FUSION processes and transmits phone signals from one hearing aid to the other without delay. This means that for the first time, users can hear mobile and landline phone calls in both hearing aids without the use of extra devices. 4

More output 137 db spl Despite its small size, FUSION is able to extend the peak maximum output up to 137 db SPL with an ingenious new sound bore called the Output Extender.

Even with FUSION s small housing, there is room for a 312 battery. Easy to insert and remove, it has an extremely long life and excellent performance. 5

6 ONE MODEL fits all FUSION gives you the ultimate in flexibility. Three different receivers, and the option of changing ear-tips and earmoulds, make it possible to cater for varying types of hearing loss - from minimal to severe-to-profound - thus making it possible for you to fit the same model to a wider range of users.

8 phone calls in both hearing aids Using our unique WidexLink technology, PHONE+ transmits phone signals wirelessly between hearing aids. This means that users can hear both landline and mobile calls in real time directly in both hearing aids. With PHONE+, when sound is transmitted from one hearing aid to the other, the microphones in the receiving hearing aid then switch off so that users can concentrate without background noise. PHONE+ is battery efficient and provides better signal-to-noise-ratio. Phone+ 8

By using this type of cover rather than a more traditional grid solution, less wind reaches the hearing aid microphones.

9 reduced wind noise FUSION models contain a newly designed, nano-coated weather resistant microphone cover, called WeatherCover. This patent-pending cover provides much better protection against wind noise. By using this type of cover rather than a more traditional grid solution, less wind reaches the hearing aid microphones. A patent-pending geometrical design for the underside of the cover ensures a smooth and non-turbulent airflow and thus a significant reduction in wind noise. Non-turbulent airflow Wind noise In fact, the WeatherCover can reduce wind noise by up to 16 db SPL compared to traditional hearing aids.

10 extremely long-life battery The technology inside FUSION is truly revolutionary. InterEar and our own specially designed wireless technology WidexLink mean that users can enjoy continuous, natural sound in two hearing aids. Equally impressive is the fact that all this advanced technology uses very little power. FUSION is extremely power-efficient, meaning less battery drain. In fact, the 312 battery used in FUSION can last for up to 7 days. 312 Battery 10

The industry-first Output Extender extends the sound bore and increases the peak maximum output by moving the most prominent peaks in the output response to around 1 khz. The Output Extender is built into the earmould using our own precise, laser technology CAMISHA. The earmould is made of a material well-suited to allow sufficient sound to adequately reach the ear canal.
