Widex Zen review

Widex Zen is built for people already in a tinnitus program with a Widex hearing care professional. The app plays a playlist of relaxing Zen sounds, which Widex describes as a sound therapy tool for treatment prescribed by a licensed professional trained in tinnitus management, and adds education on the basics of tinnitus and explained exercises. Widex recommends listening for 2 to 4 hours a day at a soft level, in quiet surroundings while you read, relax or work, and choosing a sound you find pleasant so your focus shifts away from the ringing. With hearing aids, the sounds can play alone or mixed with the surrounding sound. The app is intended for use with Widex hearing aids, either with streaming or through a COM-DEX or UNI-DEX streamer, and the Zen sounds are intended for adults 21 and older. It is free and was updated in February 2026, but without Widex devices most people will get more from ReSound or Beltone.
