Product Overview

The C12-RIC-S is a 12 channel digital RIC hearing aid developed for hearing aid distributors, audiology clinics, hearing centers and professional hearing care organizations seeking a balanced combination of fitting capacity and environmental sound management.

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

Its signal-processing architecture combines ERAC 2.0 Multi-Knee compression, DFBC 3.0 Advanced feedback cancellation, DFBC + Advanced SIW technology, Self-Adaptive Environment Recognition and ENDR 2.0 noise reduction up to 20 dB.

Two-level Intelligent Transient Noise Management and two-level Intelligent Wind Noise Management add further environmental-control functions.

For B2B buyers, this creates a well-defined starting configuration within the C-RIC-S family, offering professional fitting flexibility without moving directly into the higher Intelligent processing level of the C24 and C32 models.

Balanced 12 / 24 / 48 Fitting Architecture

C12-RIC-S provides 12 independently adjustable compression and amplification channels.

These channels work together with 24 independently adjustable bands, giving professional fitters multiple frequency-specific adjustment points when configuring the device.

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

For distributors, the 12 / 24 / 48 structure provides a simple and measurable product specification that can be used in technical comparisons and sales training.

It also gives professional customers a clear reference point when comparing C12-RIC-S with the 16-, 24- and 32-channel configurations in the same product family.

ERAC 2.0 Multi-Knee Compression Platform

The model uses ERAC 2.0 Context Analysis Based Intelligent Multi-Compression Technology with a Multi-Knee structure.

ERAC 2.0 operates across the independent fitting channels and forms part of the product's digital amplification architecture.

The Multi-Knee configuration supports management of different input levels within the fitting system while maintaining a consistent processing platform across the C-RIC-S range.

Because all four models use ERAC 2.0, distributors can present the family as sharing a common compression foundation while differentiating individual models through channel capacity, feedback management and environmental-processing specifications.

DFBC 3.0 Advanced Feedback Management

C12-RIC-S incorporates DFBC 3.0 Advanced Feedback Cancellation with two levels.

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

These technologies provide a clearly defined feedback-management configuration within the 12-channel platform.

For professional hearing care applications, feedback management forms part of the wider fitting process alongside compression, environmental recognition and noise reduction.

For B2B product comparison, the DFBC 3.0 Advanced configuration also helps distinguish C12-RIC-S and C16-RIC-S from the DFBC 3.0 Self-Adaptive architecture used in C24-RIC-S and C32-RIC-S.

Self-Adaptive Environmental Processing

C12-RIC-S uses a Self-Adaptive Environment Recognition Management System.

This function works within a broader environmental-processing package that includes ENDR 2.0 and dedicated transient and wind-noise management.

ENDR 2.0 Noise Reduction

The product uses ENDR 2.0 Environment Detection and Noise Reduction, specified at up to 20 dB.

Two-Level Noise Management

The model also provides:

• Intelligent Transient Noise Management — 2 Levels
• Intelligent Wind Noise Management — 2 Levels

These functions give the model a structured environmental-management configuration and establish a clear starting point for comparison with the three-level system of C16-RIC-S and the higher-level configurations of C24-RIC-S and C32-RIC-S.

Professional Fitting and Assessment Workflow

C12-RIC-S provides 4 selectable programs together with an Internal Sound Field Assessment and Internal Audiometer.

These integrated tools support professional fitting and assessment workflows in hearing centers and audiology clinics.

Additional device functions include:

• Adjustable turn-on delay
• Occlusion effect management
• Low-battery notification
• Adjustable notification volume
• Volume control
• Memory after power-off
• Medium personalized data storage
• Nano Coating Technology

The Medium personalized data storage level provides another verified distinction within the product family.

For distributors, this combination creates a professional platform that can support both product sales and ongoing hearing care services.

Technical Specifications

B2B Portfolio Value

C12-RIC-S is suitable for distributors, audiology clinics, hearing centers, medical device importers and professional hearing care networks requiring a balanced RIC configuration.

Its value comes from the combination of 12 fitting channels, 24 adjustable bands, 48 DSP channels, Self-Adaptive Environment Recognition and two-level environmental noise management.

For distributors creating a structured product ladder, C12-RIC-S can serve as the entry configuration of the C-RIC-S family while leaving clear room for C16, C24 and C32 to address higher fitting or processing requirements.

This makes product segmentation easier for both sales teams and professional customers.
