New Widex Allure Hearing Aid Platform Combines Advanced Processing with First Cloud-Based Fitting Solution

Underscoring its commitment to helping hearing aid wearers, Widex, a part of WS Audiology, announced Widex Allure, the company’s newest platform, designed to deliver the most natural hearing experience in any environment. Allure features the all-new W1 chip for advanced processing and are the first RIC RD hearing aids to be fitted through Widex Compass Cloud, the world's first cloud-based fitting software.

Meeting the requirements for more complex and higher performance embedded systems, Microchip Technology has launched its new dsPIC33A Core family of Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs). The new DSCs feature a 32-bit architecture with a double-precision floating-point unit and DSP engine for faster computation in time-critical applications, ideal for fast-charging, wireless charging, and sensing systems such as those required for adaptive audio applications.

Realtek Semiconductor and Alango Technologies, have announced a collaboration to deliver a joint solution aimed at facilitating In-Car Communication (ICC) between the driver and passengers to improve safety, convenience, and overall satisfaction during travel. According to Alango, the solution uses its ICC software package ported and optimized for the Realtek ALC5575 audio processor. The Alango ICC technology suite running on ALC5575 was successfully demonstrated by Realtek to Computex visitors in June 2024.
