RIC hearing aid DW5B

bluetooth®noise reductionwaterproof

Overview
The DW5B is a professional programmable hearing aid optimized for moderate to severe hearing loss. It features on-device self-programming, an integrated UV‑C sanitation charging case, IP68 environmental protection, AI-driven noise reduction, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and fast charging from a portable case for extended use. Designed for clinical-grade reliability and active lifestyles.

Core Features

• 16-channel WDRC signal processing with 4 listening programs: Standard, Restaurant, Outdoor, Music.
• User-friendly self-programmable interface for in-field adjustments without mandatory clinic visits.
• Integrated UV‑C sanitation in the charging case validated to eliminate up to 95.0% of test bacteria (e.g., E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus).
• IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating for use in wet and dusty environments.
• AI-powered noise reduction capable of up to 21 dB attenuation to improve speech intelligibility.
• Bluetooth 5.0 for direct pairing with iOS and Android devices and remote app control.
• Fast charging: 15-minute quick charge yields approximately 8 hours; portable charging case extends total operation up to 72 hours.
• Smart feedback cancellation to suppress whistling and stabilize listening experience.
• Multidimensional adaptive directionality with fixed cardioid and adaptive hypercardioid modes to prioritize speech signals.

AI Noise Reduction Behavior

• With speech present: AI identifies speech bands and reduces noise only in non-speech regions while preserving speech energy.
• Without speech: AI switches to deep noise reduction mode to significantly reduce environmental noise with minimal volume fluctuation.

Feedback Cancellation Capabilities

• Real-time monitoring of feedback-prone frequencies.
• Intelligent generation of inverse sound waves to cancel feedback before it becomes audible.
• Improves clarity and comfort for first-time users and users with well-sealed ear canals.

Target Users

• Patients with moderate to severe hearing loss.
• Clinics and providers seeking cost-effective programmable devices.
• Users with hygiene concerns who value built-in UV sanitation.
• Active users requiring IP68 protection against water and dust.
• Users needing smartphone connectivity and app-based control.
