Key Features of WIDEX MBB3D 110 Widex MOMENT BTE platform BTE 13 D behind-the-ear design 110 technology/performance level Standard size 13 disposable battery Widex PureSound technology ZeroDelay technology 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity Direct streaming from compatible smartphones WIDEX MOMENT app compatibility Compatible DEX connectivity options Flexible classic hook or thin-tube configuration Intelligent automatic sound processing Personalized hearing control Feedback management Noise management Wind noise management Water-resistant nano coating Durable microphone construction Discreet behind-the-ear housing Suitable for a wide range of fitting requirements Widex MOMENT Sound Experience One of the defining characteristics of the Widex MOMENT family is its approach to natural sound. The MBB3D 110 uses Widex PureSound powered by ZeroDelay, a technology developed to reduce the processing delay that can contribute to an artificial or "processed" perception of sound. When sound enters a hearing aid, it needs to be processed before it reaches the ear. If this processing creates a noticeable delay, the amplified sound can mix with naturally transmitted sound and may contribute to an unnatural listening sensation for some users. Widex PureSound and ZeroDelay are designed to address this aspect of hearing-aid sound processing. The objective is to provide a more immediate and natural sound experience, particularly for users who are sensitive to the sound quality of conventional amplification. This can be particularly relevant during everyday conversations, where natural voice quality and comfortable listening can make a meaningful difference. BTE 13 D Design The MBB3D 110 uses the Widex MOMENT BTE 13 D platform. In a BTE hearing aid, the main electronic components are housed behind the ear while sound is delivered into the ear through an appropriate coupling system. The BTE format offers several practical advantages. It provides sufficient physical space for microphones, electronics and a larger battery while maintaining a relatively discreet profile behind the ear. The BTE 13 D can be configured using either a classic earhook or thin tubing. This gives the hearing-care professional flexibility when selecting an appropriate fitting configuration for the individual user. The design is particularly useful for users who prefer the familiarity and handling convenience of a conventional behind-the-ear hearing aid. 110 Technology Level The WIDEX MOMENT family is available in different technology levels, including 440, 330, 220 and 110. The MOMENT 110 represents the entry-level technology option within this family. The technology level determines the range of processing and automatic sound-management capabilities available to the hearing-care professional during fitting. The 110 level is designed to provide the core Widex MOMENT sound experience while offering the essential processing and control features required for everyday hearing support. It can therefore be considered by users who want to experience the Widex MOMENT platform without necessarily requiring all of the additional processing options available in the higher technology levels. PureSound and ZeroDelay The PureSound experience is one of the most recognizable features of the Widex MOMENT family. ZeroDelay is designed to minimize processing delay. This is important because the timing of amplified sound can affect how natural the sound feels to the wearer. The MBB3D 110 combines rapid sound processing with the PureSound approach to help deliver a clear and natural listening experience. For many users, natural sound is especially important when listening to familiar voices, having one-to-one conversations or moving between different everyday environments. Intelligent Sound Processing The MBB3D 110 is designed to automatically process incoming sounds according to the acoustic environment. In daily life, users rarely remain in a single acoustic situation. A person may start the morning at home, move outdoors, enter a vehicle, attend an office meeting, visit a shop and later have a conversation in a restaurant. Each environment presents different acoustic conditions. The hearing aid's automatic processing is designed to adapt amplification according to the sound environment, reducing the need for the user to make constant manual adjustments. This provides a more convenient hearing experience while allowing the hearing-care professional to personalize the fitting according to the user's hearing loss, lifestyle and listening needs. Personalized Hearing Control Although automatic processing can handle many everyday listening situations, some users prefer additional control. The Widex MOMENT ecosystem provides options for personalized hearing control through compatible accessories and smartphone functionality. The WIDEX MOMENT app can provide users with access to compatible hearing-aid controls, allowing them to make adjustments according to their personal preferences and listening situation. The exact controls available can depend on the hearing-aid configuration, connected device and software compatibility. Smartphone Connectivity The MBB3D 110 is a 2.4 GHz wireless hearing aid. Widex states that the MOMENT BTE 13 D supports direct streaming from compatible iOS or Android devices through the WIDEX MOMENT app. This connectivity can make the hearing aid more useful in modern everyday life. Depending on device compatibility and configuration, users may be able to enjoy streamed audio from their smartphone, including: Phone conversations Music Podcasts Videos Online meetings Other compatible audio content Instead of relying exclusively on external speakers, compatible streamed audio can be delivered through the hearing-aid system. Compatibility can vary between smartphone models and operating-system versions, so users should confirm compatibility with their hearing-care professional before purchase. WIDEX MOMENT App The WIDEX MOMENT app provides a convenient way of interacting with compatible Widex hearing aids. The app is designed to give users greater control over their hearing experience and can support personalized adjustments depending on the hearing-aid model and connected smartphone. This is particularly useful for people who are comfortable using smartphones and want convenient control without frequently handling the hearing aid itself. App functionality can vary according to the specific hearing-aid model, software version and smartphone compatibility. DEX Connectivity The MBB3D 110 can also be used with compatible Widex DEX accessories. DEX accessories are designed to provide additional connectivity options and can be useful in situations where users want to connect their hearing aids with external audio sources. This gives the hearing-aid system additional flexibility beyond basic acoustic amplification. The availability and functionality of specific DEX accessories should be confirmed with an authorized hearing-care professional. Size 13 Disposable Battery Unlike the rechargeable MBR3D version, the MBB3D uses a size 13 disposable hearing-aid battery. The size 13 battery is a commonly used battery format for traditional BTE hearing aids and offers the convenience of being replaceable when depleted. Widex technical documentation identifies the BTE 13 D platform as using a PR48 size 13 battery. For users who prefer conventional replaceable batteries instead of charging their hearing aids every day, this can be an important advantage. Battery life varies according to usage, amplification requirements, wireless connectivity, streaming and other features used during the day. Users should follow the battery recommendations provided by their hearing-care professional. Water-Resistant and Durable Construction Widex has designed the MOMENT family with durability in mind. The manufacturer describes the MOMENT range as incorporating water-resistant nano coating, durable microphones and engineering intended to reduce the risk of moisture-related damage. This is useful because hearing aids are exposed to everyday environmental conditions such as humidity, perspiration and temperature changes. However, water-resistant does not mean waterproof. The hearing aid should not be intentionally submerged or exposed to excessive water unless the manufacturer specifically states that the particular model is suitable for that environment. Proper cleaning, storage and maintenance remain important for long-term performance. Feedback Management Acoustic feedback can sometimes occur when amplified sound escapes from the ear and is picked up again by the hearing-aid microphone. This may be experienced as whistling or squealing. Modern hearing aids use feedback-management systems to identify and reduce unwanted feedback while maintaining appropriate amplification. The MBB3D platform incorporates feedback management as part of its overall hearing-aid processing system. A properly fitted earmould, dome or tubing configuration remains important because hearing-aid performance depends not only on electronic processing but also on the physical fit of the device. Noise Management Everyday environments contain many sounds that are not part of the conversation the listener wants to follow. Examples include: Traffic Fans Air conditioners Household appliances Background conversations Restaurant noise Office activity General environmental sounds The hearing aid's sound-processing system is designed to manage background noise while maintaining useful access to speech and environmental sounds. The objective is not to eliminate every background sound. Instead, appropriate processing can help create a more comfortable listening environment. Wind Noise Management Wind can be particularly noticeable when using hearing aids outdoors. Wind hitting the microphones may create unwanted low-frequency noise and make listening less comfortable. The MOMENT platform includes sound-processing strategies intended to manage challenging environmental sounds, including wind-related noise. This can be helpful during activities such as walking outdoors, travelling or spending time in open environments. Speech Understanding in Everyday Situations A primary purpose of any hearing aid is to provide appropriate amplification for sounds that the wearer needs to hear. For many users, the most important listening situation is conversation. The MBB3D 110 is designed to support everyday communication by processing incoming sound and providing amplification according to the user's programmed hearing profile. This can be useful during: One-to-one conversations Family discussions Office communication Telephone conversations Shopping Outdoor activities Watching television Social gatherings Actual speech understanding depends on several factors, including the degree and type of hearing loss, listening environment, fitting accuracy, communication habits and individual adaptation. A hearing aid does not restore normal hearing, and results vary from person to person. Flexible Fitting Options The BTE 13 D platform can be configured using different coupling options, including a classic hook or thin tube. Widex specifically describes this flexibility as part of the BTE 13 D design. This allows the hearing-care professional to select a configuration appropriate for the user's ear anatomy, hearing loss and comfort requirements. The fitting process is therefore an important part of obtaining good performance from the hearing aid. An audiologist should perform the hearing assessment and program the device according to the individual's hearing thresholds and listening requirements. Comfortable Behind-the-Ear Wearing Style The MBB3D 110 places the main body of the device behind the ear. This leaves the ear canal relatively open depending on the selected coupling and fitting configuration. The behind-the-ear format is familiar, practical and easy for many users to handle. It can also be an appropriate option for people who find very small in-the-ear devices difficult to insert or remove. The exact comfort of a hearing aid depends on ear shape, coupling type, tubing length, earmould or dome selection and individual preference. Everyday Convenience The MBB3D 110 is designed for people who want a combination of hearing performance, connectivity and practical everyday operation. The replaceable size 13 battery provides a familiar power solution. The behind-the-ear housing is easy for many users to locate and handle. Wireless connectivity adds modern functionality. The MOMENT app can provide additional control. The BTE configuration also offers flexibility in fitting and coupling options. Together, these features make the MBB3D 110 a practical option for users looking for a traditional BTE hearing aid with modern digital technology. Who Can Consider WIDEX MBB3D 110?

Widex's technical documentation identifies the BTE 13 D platform as using a PR48 size 13 battery and provides technical performance data for the platform. Because hearing-aid specifications can vary according to fitting configuration, accessories and software, the exact configuration should be confirmed with an authorized Widex hearing-care professional before purchase. Why Choose a Widex MOMENT BTE Hearing Aid? Widex MOMENT focuses strongly on natural sound reproduction. For a hearing-aid user, the quality of sound can be just as important as amplification. A device should not simply make sounds louder; it should provide appropriately processed sound that is comfortable and useful for communication. The MBB3D 110 brings this philosophy into a conventional BTE design. Its combination of PureSound, ZeroDelay, automatic processing, wireless connectivity, smartphone control and flexible fitting options makes it a versatile digital hearing solution. Professional Hearing Assessment and Fitting Choosing a hearing aid should begin with a proper hearing assessment. An audiologist can determine the type and degree of hearing loss and identify the appropriate hearing-aid style, receiver or tubing arrangement and programming requirements. The hearing aid should then be professionally programmed and fine-tuned according to the user's hearing test results. A trial period can also be valuable because hearing-aid performance should be evaluated in the environments where the user actually needs better hearing. Follow-up adjustments are normal and can improve comfort and listening performance as the wearer becomes accustomed to amplified sound. Maintenance and Care To maintain reliable performance, users should: Keep the hearing aid clean and dry. Replace the battery when required. Keep the microphone openings free from dust and debris. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions. Store the device appropriately when it is not being used. Avoid exposing the hearing aid to excessive moisture. Schedule professional servicing when required. Replace tubing or other consumable components when they become worn. Have the hearing aid professionally checked if sound quality changes unexpectedly. Regular maintenance can help support reliable everyday operation.
