Product Overview

The TW1-RIC-M is an 8 channel RIC hearing aid developed for professional fitting, distribution and hearing care markets that require a practical digital platform with essential adjustment functions.

Built on the ACOD3101 intelligent multi-core DSP, the device provides 8 independently adjustable compression and amplification channels, 16 adjustable bands and 32 DSP channels. This configuration gives hearing care professionals useful frequency-specific control while maintaining a straightforward architecture for routine fitting and portfolio planning.

Bluetooth-enabled app functions support volume control, program switching and multiple fitting workflows. The model also combines DFBC 2.0 adaptive feedback cancellation, ENDR 1.0 environmental noise reduction and standard transient-noise management.

For distributors building a multi-tier RIC portfolio, TW1-RIC-M offers a clearly positioned entry configuration with professional digital adjustment and wireless fitting support.

Key Features

8-Channel Digital Adjustment

The product provides 8 independent compression and amplification channels together with 16 independently adjustable bands.

This structure allows fitting professionals to adjust different frequency areas separately instead of applying the same amplification response across the full spectrum.

For an 8 channel RIC hearing aid, this provides a practical level of fitting flexibility for standard professional applications.

ACOD3101 DSP Platform

The TW1-RIC-M uses the ACOD3101 intelligent multi-core DSP with 32 DSP channels.

The processing platform supports amplification, compression, feedback management, noise reduction and fitting-related functions.

ERAC 1.0 Dual-Knee Compression

ERAC 1.0 Context Analysis Based Intelligent Multi-Compression Technology uses a Dual-Knee structure.

This provides a defined compression architecture for managing different input sound levels during professional fitting and daily operation.

DFBC 2.0 Adaptive Feedback Cancellation

The model includes DFBC 2.0 Adaptive Feedback Cancellation with two adjustment levels.

The system is designed to manage acoustic feedback as part of the device's digital signal-processing configuration.

SIW Technology

SIW technology is included as part of the signal-processing architecture.

ENDR 1.0 Noise Reduction

The device uses the ENDR 1.0 Environment Detection and Noise Reduction System, with noise reduction specified at up to 17 dB.

This provides essential environmental noise management without the more advanced recognition and directional features available in higher models.

Standard Transient Noise Management

Standard transient-noise management is included to process sudden short-duration sounds within the system.

Bluetooth and App-Based Fitting

As a Bluetooth RIC hearing aid, TW1-RIC-M supports:

• App volume control
• App program switching
• App remote fitting
• App automatic fitting
• App professional fitting
• App smart fitting

Additional professional functions include:

• Internal sound field assessment
• Internal audiometer
• Four selectable programs
• Volume control
• Virtual-button program switching
• Virtual-button volume control

These functions give hearing care providers greater flexibility in fitting and follow-up service.

Bluetooth connectivity refers to confirmed wireless and app-related functionality. Bluetooth audio streaming or hands-free calling should only be stated when separately verified.

Additional Device Management Functions

TW1-RIC-M also includes:

• Adjustable turn-on delay
• Occlusion effect management
• Low-battery notification
• Adjustable notification volume
• Memory after power-off
• Standard personalized data storage
• Nano coating technology

Nano coating provides additional protection for routine use but should not be interpreted as a defined waterproof or IP-rated specification without supporting documentation.

Technical Specifications

B2B Market Positioning

TW1-RIC-M is suitable for:

• Hearing aid distributors
• Audiology clinics
• Hearing centers
• Medical device importers
• Hearing aid retailers
• Regional hearing care networks
• Project-based hearing aid buyers

For companies building a tiered product range, this 8 channel RIC hearing aid can serve as an accessible professional configuration below the more advanced TW2-RIC-M and TW3-RIC-M.

Businesses interested in customization, private-label or OEM/ODM cooperation can contact AcoSound to discuss available project options.

Why Choose TW1-RIC-M?

Key features include:

• 8 independent fitting channels
• 16 adjustable bands
• 32 DSP channels
• ERAC 1.0 Dual-Knee compression
• DFBC 2.0 feedback cancellation
• ENDR 1.0 noise reduction up to 17 dB
• Bluetooth-enabled app fitting
• Internal assessment functions
• Four selectable programs

Compared with higher models in the family, TW1-RIC-M does not include directional dual-microphone technology, wind-noise management or environment recognition.

This gives distributors a clearly differentiated entry configuration rather than a product distinguished only by model number.
