Comparative Fitting

Receiver Connection with UNIRIC

With UNIRIC, different external receivers (S/M) can be tested within a custom earmold. This enables comparative fitting with a consistent physical fit – regardless of the material used.

  • Comparative fitting in any material possible
  • Earmold fitting already possible during the trial phase
  • No post-processing of the earmold required
  • SMART SLEEVE as a solution for small ear canals

Full Material Flexibility

UNIRIC by Hörluchs® is available in all common earmold materials. This allows comparative fitting to be carried out independently of the selected material.

A Smart System
for Flexible Decisions

With SMART SOCKET and SMART SLEEVE, UNIRIC offers dedicated system components for earmolds made of TEC and titanium. Both enable a defined RIC receiver connection and greater flexibility in anatomically challenging situations.

Comparative Fitting

During the hearing system fitting process, multiple hearing systems are often evaluated in everyday situations. To ensure a fair and meaningful comparison, the fitting conditions must remain as consistent as possible.

Comparative fitting is an integral part of the fitting process and, within statutory health insurance provision, a prerequisite for a transparent and properly documented decision.

With UNIRIC, different hearing systems can be tested using the same earmold.

Earmolds as the Basis

For an objective comparison, a stable basis is required. Custom ear moulds enable a realistic evaluation of a hearing system, as they ensure the following:

  • Defined physical fit
  • Consistent acoustic seal
  • Reproducible acoustic conditions

Conclusion: Only a custom earmold provides the necessary basis for an objective comparison of hearing systems.

UNIRIC as Solution

Earmolds are typically designed for a specific RIC receiver. Changing the hearing aid often requires a new earmold. With UNIRIC, different receivers can be used regardless of the material.

  • High-quality fitting already during the trial phase
  • Consistent physical fit when changing the hearing system
  • Neutral comparison of different hearing systems

Conclusion: With UNIRIC, comparative fitting is also possible using a custom earmold.

“For the past week, I’ve been testing a second hearing system. At a restaurant, I quickly noticed whether it worked for me – and fortunately, I was able to continue using my titanium earmolds”
