Product Overview

The C24-RIC-M is a 24 channel advanced RIC hearing aid designed for professional markets requiring a substantial increase in processing capacity and environmental sound-management functions.

Unlike the 12-channel and 16-channel models, C24-RIC-M moves to 96 DSP channels, Intelligent Environment Recognition and ENDR 3.0 noise reduction specified at up to 25 dB.

The product provides 24 independently adjustable compression and amplification channels and 32 independently adjustable bands.

It also introduces Intelligent directional dual-microphone processing, Intelligent directional speech enhancement and four-level management for transient and wind-related noise.

For distributors, these specification changes provide a clear technical transition into the higher-processing segment of the C-RIC-M family.

A Step into Higher Processing Capacity

The C24-RIC-M architecture combines:

• 24 independently adjustable fitting channels
• 32 independently adjustable bands
• 96 DSP channels
• ACOD2101 intelligent multi-core DSP

Although the number of adjustable bands remains at 32, the fitting channels increase to 24 and the DSP architecture expands to 96 channels.

This gives the 24 channel advanced RIC hearing aid a substantially different processing profile from C16-RIC-M.

Intelligent Environment Recognition

C24-RIC-M upgrades environmental recognition from Self-Adaptive to Intelligent.

This change forms part of a wider processing package that also includes ENDR 3.0 and Intelligent directional technologies.

Rather than treating channel count as the only product differentiator, the model combines additional fitting channels with a different level of environmental processing.

ENDR 3.0 Noise Reduction up to 25 dB

The device uses ENDR 3.0 Environment Detection and Noise Reduction, with noise reduction specified at up to 25 dB.

This represents a verified change from the ENDR 2.0 / 20 dB configuration used in C12-RIC-M and C16-RIC-M.

Environmental noise management is further supported by:

• Intelligent Transient Noise Management — 4 Levels
• Intelligent Wind Noise Management — 4 Levels

These functions give hearing care professionals additional processing options when configuring the device.

Intelligent Directional Processing

C24-RIC-M includes:

• Intelligent Directional Dual-Microphone Technology
• Intelligent Directional Speech Enhancement Technology

These features replace the Advanced directional configuration used in the lower models.

For B2B customers, the shift to Intelligent directional processing provides another concrete specification difference for product portfolio segmentation.

ERAC 2.0 and Self-Adaptive Feedback Control

ERAC 2.0 Multi-Knee compression remains part of the core fitting architecture.

Feedback management is provided by DFBC 3.0 Self-Adaptive Feedback Cancellation with two levels, combined with Advanced SIW technology.

This differs from the DFBC 3.0 Advanced configuration used in C12-RIC-M and C16-RIC-M.

Professional Configuration Options

C24-RIC-M includes:

• 4 selectable programs
• Internal sound field assessment
• Internal audiometer
• Adjustable turn-on delay
• Occlusion effect management
• Low-battery notification
• Adjustable notification volume
• Volume control
• Memory after power-off
• Advanced personalized data storage
• Nano coating technology

Optional functions include:

• FM Interface Compatibility
• Auto Phone Function

The optional interface configuration gives distributors additional flexibility when defining product requirements for professional markets.

Technical Specifications

Why C24-RIC-M Is a Higher-Tier Configuration

The 24 channel advanced RIC hearing aid introduces several verified changes compared with C16-RIC-M:

• 16 → 24 fitting channels
• 64 → 96 DSP channels
• DFBC 3.0 Advanced → Self-Adaptive
• Self-Adaptive → Intelligent Environment Recognition
• ENDR 2.0 / 20 dB → ENDR 3.0 / 25 dB
• 3-Level → 4-Level transient-noise management
• 3-Level → 4-Level wind-noise management
• Advanced → Intelligent directional processing

These differences provide distributors and professional buyers with a strong technical basis for placing C24-RIC-M above the lower configurations.
