Product Overview

The AcoSound RWS12-RIC-C is a 12-channel rechargeable Bluetooth RIC hearing aid designed for distributors, hearing-care groups, medical device importers, wholesalers and private-label brands that want a connected receiver-in-canal product with a clearly documented processing upgrade from the 8-channel configuration.

RWS12-RIC-C uses a 115 dB SPL output / 50 dB gain power matrix and a listed fitting range of 90–100 dB. Maximum OSPL90 is 115 dB SPL, HFA OSPL90 is 110 dB SPL, maximum FOG50 gain is 46 dB, and HFA FOG50 gain is 40 dB. Frequency response is 200–5000 Hz, equivalent input noise is ≤25 dB, total harmonic distortion is ≤3%, and current consumption is 1.5 mA.

The model combines 12-channel processing, DFBC 2.0 feedback cancellation, two-level Intelligent Wind Noise Management, two-level Intelligent Impulse Noise Management, EDNR 2.0 up to 20 dB and Standard Adaptive Directionality.

Rechargeable operation provides up to 22 hours of hearing-aid use or up to 15 hours during audio streaming. The charging case provides 3.5 full recharges. Bluetooth fitting, battery-level display, audio streaming, two physical controls and compatible App operation are supported.

Why RWS12-RIC-C Exists in the Product Line

For a distributor, a second SKU needs to offer more than a different model number. RWS12-RIC-C provides a clear commercial reason to expand beyond RWS8-RIC-C because the processing package changes in several documented areas.

The progression from RWS8-RIC-C to RWS12-RIC-C includes 8 to 12 channels, AFC 2.0 to DFBC 2.0, no dedicated wind-noise management to two-level wind management, one-level to two-level impulse management, EDNR up to 17 dB to up to 20 dB, and Fixed Directionality to Standard Adaptive Directionality.

These differences are useful for dealer presentations, comparison charts and private-label catalogs because they can be stated directly without relying on subjective claims such as “better sound” or “premium performance.”

Processing Package for a Clear Step-Up SKU

Twelve digital channels provide additional frequency-specific adjustment regions compared with the 8-channel configuration.

The value of RWS12-RIC-C, however, is not channel count alone. DFBC 2.0 provides the documented feedback-cancellation architecture for this model, while Standard Adaptive Directionality gives the directional system a different configuration from the Fixed Directionality used on RWS8-RIC-C.

Environmental processing also changes. The model provides two levels of Intelligent Wind Noise Management and two levels of Intelligent Impulse Noise Management, while EDNR 2.0 provides environmental noise reduction up to 20 dB.

For B2B buyers, this creates a compact but meaningful technology package that can support a separate price position, sales story and SKU in the same rechargeable RIC family.

Connected Fitting and Remote-Care Functions

RWS12-RIC-C supports Bluetooth fitting and a connected professional workflow that includes Hearing Test, Self-Fitting, Smart Fitting, Asynchronous Remote Fitting, Real-Time Remote Fitting, AI Voice-Guided Fitting and PC Fitting Software.

Battery-level display and audio streaming are also supported.

Two onboard buttons complement compatible App operation, so users are not dependent on software for every direct control action.

For clinic groups, this combination supports in-person fitting and compatible remote follow-up. For distributors, it gives the product several demonstration points across programming, control, charging and connected listening.

Rechargeable Power for Connected Daily Use

The rechargeable battery is specified for up to 22 hours of hearing-aid use.

During audio streaming, available operating time is up to 15 hours.

The portable charging case provides 3.5 full recharges, extending use across multiple charging cycles.

Actual runtime varies with gain settings, streaming duration, wireless activity, battery condition, temperature and individual operating patterns. For B2B sourcing, the hearing aid, charging case and software workflow can therefore be reviewed together during sample evaluation and packaging planning.

Technical Specifications

Recommended B2B Use

RWS12-RIC-C is well suited to regional hearing aid distributors, clinic networks, medical device importers, specialist retailers, wholesalers and private-label brands that want a connected rechargeable RIC model with a clear upgrade path from an 8-channel product.

It can work especially well in a two-model or three-model assortment where the buyer wants each SKU to have visible technical differences while keeping the same general rechargeable RIC concept.

Its strongest procurement points are 12 channels, DFBC 2.0, two-level wind and impulse management, EDNR 2.0 up to 20 dB, Standard Adaptive Directionality, Bluetooth fitting and streaming.
