Widex has fully reimagined the hearing care solution, delivering industry-changing innovation that is clear, intuitive, and future-ready. With Precision Hearing Technology, a unique combination of new and enhanced features, Allure is engineered to deliver a naturally clear and precise sound quality, seamless transitions between soundscapes, and an improved experience in noisy situations.

“The launch of Widex Allure marks an exciting advancement in hearing technology and reaffirms our commitment to innovation. Engineered to deliver crystal clear speech and an exceptionally natural listening experience, Allure sets a new standard for what hearing solutions can achieve,” said Michèle Dostaler, Head of Product Management at WSA. “We’re proud to bring this next-generation technology to market and confident it will make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”

Widex Allure also builds upon the clinically proven ZeroDelay technology with the new Widex Allure PureSound program. The Allure PureSound processing now delivers significantly enhanced speech intelligibility in noise — an improvement of 4.3 dB SNR 1 — with more advanced processing features than ever before.

Furthermore, Widex Allure’s new Dynamic Feedback Controller employs uniquely adaptive frequency shifting that activates only when needed, without compromising sound quality.

“Initial feedback from wearers has been overwhelmingly positive—many are telling us that Widex Allure simply sounds better,” said Dostaler. “From the moment they try it, users notice the clarity, comfort, and natural sound that set Allure apart. It’s incredibly rewarding to see such a strong preference for a solution designed with their real-world needs in mind.”

First WIDEX ALLURE Hearing Aid, First Cloud-Based Fitting Solution

The first hearing aid on the Widex Allure platform is the Widex Allure RIC R D, offering ease of use, new connectivity, multiple charger options, and excellent battery life. It features the new Widex Allure App, which offers an intuitive user experience and integrated accessibility functions. In addition, the Allure App gives wearers the power of real-time artificial intelligence and machine learning so they can easily personalize their hearing experience.

The Widex Allure RIC R D is also the first hearing aid available for fitting via the new Widex Compass Cloud, the world’s first cloud-based fitting software. Widex Compass Cloud offers hearing care professionals (HCPs) an intuitive interface and streamlined workflows for better, personalized first fits. And because it lives in the cloud, Widex can continuously improve the software and user experience while ensuring Compass Cloud remains secure by design.

“Widex Allure, paired with the power and flexibility of Compass Cloud, represents a complete ecosystem built around both hearing care professional expertise and wearer experience,” concluded Dostaler. “Together, they enable seamless, personalized fittings and ongoing support—anytime, anywhere. This integrated approach reflects our vision for the future of hearing care: smarter, more connected, and designed to give hearing care professionals more time to focus on what matters most—their clients.”

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A shooting outside a church building in Salt Lake City killed two people and injured six others Wednesday, police said.

The shooting took place in the parking lot of a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church.

Dozens of people were attending a funeral inside at the time. All the victims were adults.

Police said they do not believe the shooter had any animus toward a particular faith.

“We don’t believe this was a targeted attack against a religion or anything like that,” Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said.

Police also do not believe the shooting was random. Authorities said no suspect was in custody.

About 100 law enforcement vehicles were at the scene in the aftermath, and helicopters flew overhead.

“This should never have happened outside a place of worship. This should never have happened outside a celebration of life,” Mayor Erin Mendenhall said.

The church was cooperating with law enforcement and was grateful for efforts first responders' efforts, a spokesperson said.

“We extend prayers for all who have been impacted by this tragedy and express deep concern that any sacred space intended for worship should be subjected to violence of any kind,” Sam Penrod said in a statement.

The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, and about half of Utah’s 3.5 million residents are members of the faith. Churches like the one where the shooting occurred can be found in towns throughout the city and state.

The faith has been on heightened alert since four people were killed when a former Marine opened fire in a Michigan church last month and set it ablaze. The FBI found that he was motivated by “anti-religious beliefs” against the church.
