Product Overview

The C16-BTE-P is a 16 channel BTE hearing aid developed for hearing aid distributors, audiology clinics, hearing centers and professional hearing care organizations that require greater fitting capacity within the Self-Adaptive processing tier.

The ACOD2101 intelligent multi-core DSP platform provides 16 independently adjustable compression and amplification channels, 32 independently adjustable bands and 64 DSP channels.

ERAC 2.0 Context Analysis Based Intelligent Multi-Compression Technology with a Multi-Knee structure provides the compression architecture. Feedback management is supplied by DFBC 3.0 Advanced Feedback Cancellation with two levels together with SIW technology.

C16-BTE-P retains Self-Adaptive Environment Recognition and ENDR 2.0 noise reduction up to 20 dB. Intelligent Transient Noise Management, Intelligent Wind Noise Management, Advanced Directional Dual-Microphone Technology and Advanced Directional Speech Enhancement Technology are also included.

The main progression from C12-BTE-P is therefore higher fitting-channel, adjustable-band and DSP-channel capacity rather than a change in environmental-processing category.

16 / 32 / 64 as the Core Product Difference

C16-BTE-P provides:

• 16 fitting channels
• 32 adjustable bands
• 64 DSP channels

Compared with C12-BTE-P:

• Fitting Channels: 12 → 16
• Adjustable Bands: 24 → 32
• DSP Channels: 48 → 64

This creates a clear technical step for distributors and professional hearing care organizations.

For buyers evaluating a 16 channel BTE hearing aid, the 16 / 32 / 64 architecture provides a measurable reason to select C16-BTE-P while maintaining the same core Environment Recognition and directional-processing tier as C12-BTE-P.

For distributor sales teams, this makes the model easier to position accurately because its primary distinction is fitting capacity rather than an unsupported claim of a completely different processing platform.

Self-Adaptive Processing Platform

C16-BTE-P uses Self-Adaptive Environment Recognition and ENDR 2.0 Environment Detection and Noise Reduction specified at up to 20 dB.

It also includes:

• Intelligent Transient Noise Management
• Intelligent Wind Noise Management
• Advanced Directional Dual-Microphone Technology
• Advanced Directional Speech Enhancement Technology

These functions are shared with C12-BTE-P.

This continuity gives professional buyers a consistent processing foundation while the larger fitting architecture provides the principal technical progression.

For B2B portfolio planning, C16-BTE-P can therefore occupy a higher-capacity position without overlapping with the Intelligent processing tier introduced at C24-BTE-P.

DFBC 3.0 Advanced and ERAC 2.0

Feedback management is provided by DFBC 3.0 Advanced Feedback Cancellation with two levels.

SIW technology is included.

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

For professional fitting teams, these technologies form a consistent digital-processing foundation across the lower two C-BTE-P models.

For distributors, that continuity helps keep product training focused on the specifications that actually change from C12 to C16.

Electroacoustic Reference Data

C16-BTE-P uses the following documented electroacoustic profile:

• Maximum OSPL90: 128 dB
• HFA OSPL90: 119 dB
• Maximum FOG50: 52 dB
• HFA FOG50: 42 dB
• RTG Target / Measured: 42 / 42 dB
• Frequency Range: 200–5500 Hz
• Battery Current: 1.4 mA
• EQ: 25 dB
• THD at 500 / 800 / 1600 Hz: 3%

These shared values provide a stable technical baseline while channel and DSP capacity are compared across the product family.

For distributors evaluating a 16 channel BTE hearing aid, this makes it possible to combine electroacoustic data with fitting and processing specifications during sample evaluation and portfolio planning.

Professional Device Functions

C16-BTE-P provides four selectable programs and includes an Internal Sound Field Assessment System and Internal Audiometer System.

Additional functions include:

• Adjustable Turn-on Delay
• Occlusion Effect Management
• Low Battery Power Notification
• Adjustable Notification Volume
• Volume Control
• FM Interface Compatibility
• Auto Phone Function
• Memory After Power-off
• Medium Personalized Data Storage
• Nano Coating Technology

These functions complement the higher fitting architecture and support professional assessment, fitting and routine device management.

B2B Product Role

As a 16 channel BTE hearing aid, C16-BTE-P is suitable for distributors, importers, audiology clinics and hearing centers that need more fitting capacity than C12-BTE-P while remaining within the same Self-Adaptive environmental-processing tier.

Its main commercial differentiation is built around 16 fitting channels, 32 adjustable bands and 64 DSP channels, supported by DFBC 3.0 Advanced, ENDR 2.0 and Advanced directional processing.

C16-BTE-P can therefore serve as the higher-capacity Self-Adaptive model before the range moves into the Intelligent processing architecture of C24-BTE-P.
