Innovation and R&D

WS Audiology is a global leader and pioneer in hearing aid innovation with one of the industry’s
largest R&D organizations. More than 1000 employees work across three main R&D centers in
Denmark, Germany and Singapore to continuously develop new solutions. Innovation is the fuel
for our five major brands – Signia, Widex, Rexton, Vibe and AudioService.

    

WS Audiology is the only player in the hearing aid industry that follows two different sound philosophies: Creating the most natural sound using ultra-fast processing in our PureSound technology and enhancing hearing performance by offering several breakthrough audiological features via our dual-processor Augmented Experience technology.
