Product Overview

The C12-RIC-M is a 12 channel RIC hearing aid developed for hearing aid distributors, audiology clinics, hearing centers and professional hearing care organizations requiring a balanced combination of fitting flexibility and environmental sound processing.

Its ACOD2101 intelligent multi-core DSP platform provides 12 independently adjustable compression and amplification channels, 24 adjustable bands and 48 DSP channels.

The processing architecture also incorporates ERAC 2.0 Multi-Knee compression, DFBC 3.0 Advanced feedback cancellation, Self-Adaptive Environment Recognition and ENDR 2.0 noise reduction up to 20 dB.

Advanced directional dual-microphone technology, directional speech enhancement and two-level transient and wind-noise management further support its positioning as a practical professional RIC configuration.

12-Channel Professional Fitting

The 12-channel architecture provides 12 independently adjustable compression and amplification channels.

These channels work together with 24 independently adjustable bands, allowing fitting professionals to make frequency-specific adjustments across the hearing aid response.

The ACOD2101 processor provides 48 DSP channels, forming the processing foundation for compression, feedback management, environmental recognition, directional processing and noise management.

For distributors building a structured RIC portfolio, this 12 channel RIC hearing aid provides a clear professional starting point within the C-RIC-M range.

ERAC 2.0 Multi-Knee Compression

C12-RIC-M uses ERAC 2.0 Context Analysis Based Intelligent Multi-Compression Technology with a Multi-Knee structure.

The compression architecture supports adjustment across different input levels and operates together with the 12 independently adjustable fitting channels.

This provides a defined digital compression platform for professional fitting applications.

DFBC 3.0 Advanced Feedback Management

The model features DFBC 3.0 Advanced Feedback Cancellation with two levels.

DFBC + Advanced SIW technology is also incorporated into the signal-processing architecture.

These technologies provide a dedicated feedback-management configuration for professional adjustment and device operation.
