Product Overview

The TW2-RIC-M is a 12 channel RIC hearing aid designed for hearing aid distributors, audiology clinics, hearing centers and other professional hearing care businesses that require greater fitting flexibility and more developed environmental processing.

Built on the ACOD3101 intelligent multi-core DSP platform, the device provides 12 independently adjustable compression and amplification channels, 24 independently adjustable bands and 48 DSP channels. This architecture gives fitting professionals greater control across different frequency regions while supporting multiple signal-processing functions.

Compared with the entry-level TW1-RIC-M configuration, this 12 channel RIC hearing aid adds standard environment recognition, advanced directional dual-microphone technology, advanced directional speech enhancement, intelligent wind-noise management and noise-source tracking and suppression.

DFBC 3.0 Advanced feedback cancellation, ENDR 2.0 noise reduction and Bluetooth-enabled professional fitting further support its positioning as a mid-tier solution for B2B hearing care markets.

12-Channel Fitting Architecture

As a 12 channel RIC hearing aid, TW2-RIC-M provides 12 independently adjustable compression and amplification channels together with 24 independently adjustable bands.

The additional adjustment points allow hearing care professionals to configure different frequency areas with greater precision than the 8-channel model in the same family.

This makes the product suitable for B2B portfolios that require a clear technical step between entry-level digital products and higher-channel adaptive configurations.

48 DSP Channels

The ACOD3101 intelligent multi-core DSP provides 48 DSP channels.

The processing architecture supports:

• Digital amplification
• Multi-channel compression
• Feedback management
• Environmental noise reduction
• Environment recognition
• Directional processing
• Wind-noise management
• Professional fitting functions

These capabilities form the core digital-processing platform of TW2-RIC-M.

ERAC 2.0 Multi-Knee Compression

TW2-RIC-M uses ERAC 2.0 Context Analysis Based Intelligent Multi-Compression Technology with Multi-Knee processing.

The Multi-Knee structure provides additional flexibility for managing amplification across different input sound levels.

Combined with the 12 independent fitting channels, this compression architecture provides professional hearing care providers with more detailed adjustment options.

DFBC 3.0 Advanced Feedback Cancellation

The model features DFBC 3.0 Advanced Feedback Cancellation together with Advanced SIW technology.

Feedback management is an important part of professional hearing aid fitting because changes in gain and acoustic conditions can influence the risk of feedback.

The integrated processing system provides a more advanced feedback-management configuration than the DFBC 2.0 technology used in TW1-RIC-M.

Standard Environment Recognition

The TW2-RIC-M includes a Standard Environment Recognition Management System.

This function adds an environmental-processing layer that is not included in the TW1-RIC-M configuration.

Together with noise reduction and directional processing, environment recognition helps create a more complete signal-management package for the 12 channel RIC hearing aid.

ENDR 2.0 Noise Reduction up to 20 dB

TW2-RIC-M uses the ENDR 2.0 Environment Detection and Noise Reduction System, with noise reduction specified at up to 20 dB.

The device also incorporates Medium-level Noise Source Tracking and Suppression Technology.

These functions expand the environmental noise-management capabilities of the product and help differentiate it from the more basic 8-channel configuration.

Intelligent Transient Noise Management

The product includes Intelligent Transient Noise Management with two levels.

This function provides dedicated processing for sudden short-duration sounds and gives fitting professionals two available adjustment levels.

Intelligent Wind Noise Management

TW2-RIC-M also provides Intelligent Wind Noise Management with two levels.

The function is designed to manage wind-related microphone noise as part of the device's environmental-processing configuration.

For distributors serving markets where users move between indoor and outdoor environments, this provides an additional technical feature for product differentiation.

Advanced Directional Processing

The TW2-RIC-M incorporates:

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

These technologies give this 12 channel RIC hearing aid a broader set of processing functions for acoustic situations where speech and competing sounds may arrive from different directions.

Directional processing is one of the main technical differences between TW2-RIC-M and the entry configuration in the series.

Bluetooth-Enabled App Fitting

Bluetooth connectivity supports a range of confirmed app-based functions:

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

The product also includes:

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

These functions support different fitting, adjustment and follow-up workflows for professional hearing care providers.

Bluetooth connectivity refers to confirmed wireless and app-related functions. Bluetooth audio streaming or hands-free calling should not be claimed unless separately verified.

Additional Device Functions

TW2-RIC-M also includes:

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

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

Technical Specifications

B2B Market Positioning

TW2-RIC-M is suitable for:

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

For distributors building a multi-tier portfolio, the 12 channel RIC hearing aid provides a clear middle configuration between TW1-RIC-M and TW3-RIC-M.

Its directional dual-microphone processing, 20 dB ENDR 2.0 noise reduction, wind-noise management and 24-band adjustment give buyers specific technical features that can be used to differentiate the model within their product range.

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