Widex Moment RIC 312 D

The Widex Moment RIC 312 D is a RIC hearing aid with a small, discreet body behind the ear and a receiver that sits in the ear canal. The "312" in its name refers to the battery size and the "D" to direct wireless sound streaming. You can think of it as the replaceable-battery counterpart of the rechargeable mRIC model: the connectivity features are similar, and the power comes from an easy-to-find size 312 battery.

Sound and hearing features

The device works with PureSound sound processing, which includes ZeroDelay technology. Keeping the delay between processed sound and sound reaching the ear directly very short aims to make sound natural rather than artificial. Automatic adjustment to your surroundings reduces the need to change settings as you move between different places during the day.

Connectivity and app

With the Widex Moment app you can stream calls, music and video sound directly from an iPhone or iPad to your hearing aids and enjoy a conversation or entertainment for hours. The app also puts volume and program selection on your phone. TV PLAY can be used for television, and DEX accessories such as COM-DEX for other devices. When the model was launched, it was stated that it had been prepared for direct connection with Android; we can check current compatibility with your phone together.

Battery and use

Size 312 zinc-air batteries are easy to find at pharmacies and hearing centres; you are not tied to a charger and can carry spare batteries when travelling. Streaming increases battery use, so keeping spares is a good habit. For spares, see our size 312 battery page. When changing the battery, waiting about a minute after removing the sticker gives the battery time to activate with air. Leaving the battery door open on nights when the device is not in use also helps moisture escape.

Who is it suitable for?

The Moment RIC 312 D suits users who have an iPhone, value phone and music connectivity, but prefer changing batteries to using a charger. For people looking for a discreet behind-the-ear body, and for mild to severe hearing loss where a RIC style is being considered, our specialist determines the right receiver power.

After a free hearing test at our Pendik centre, you can try the Widex Moment RIC 312 D hearing aid. For the SGK (Turkey's Social Security Institution) contribution, see our hearing aids with SGK page.
