"As a hearing technology pioneer, Widex has been changing the way the world experiences sound for over 60 years,” Coughlin said. “The company’s hearing aids – most recently WIDEX MOMENT – have established new standards in natural sound and speech intelligibility to enable more people to live richer, healthier, and more connected lives. I look forward to working with an already great Widex team and its partner community to introduce more people across the country to Widex’s pure, natural sound.”
