                                              3D SOFT SILICONE (CAST) is a new kind of silicone material. The highly tear-resistant silicone is very supple.
                                              Just as in the 3D TEC LPH process, the product is first created on the screen and then produced as a sleeve
                                              (cast) in a 3D printing process. Then the silicone material is inserted and hardened manually. The sleeve (cast)
                                              is removed and the process is then manually finished.

                             • Avoid slipping due to intensive movements of the ear canal (during speaking or chewing).
                             • Reduce the occlusion effect through openings in the mandibular joint.
        GOLF EARMOLDS        • Comfortable to wear due to less contact surface with the ear canal.
                             FOIL SKELETON / NUGGET
                             • Optimal ventilation for the ear canal.
                             • Barely noticeable in the ear canal.
                             • Protected against slipping our during chewing movements.
                             • Attractive appearance.

                             • Optimal for major jaw movements while speaking or chewing.
                             • Often selected in combination with a double step, since holding function in ear canal is frequently insufficient.
                             • The support can also be used for removing and inserting the earmold.
                             DRAWSTRING
                             • Often, attaching a drawstring can be a good choice for earmolds that sit deeper in the ear canal
                               (e.g. CIC PLUG) design. This allows the customer to remove the earmold using the drawstring.

UNIRIC                                                  THERMOtec ®

FLEXIBLE TO USE
The applications of THERMOtec® are just as flexible as the properties of the material itself. Hörluchs offers the following applications,
for instance, for using THERMOtec®:
• THERMOtec® earmolds for normal tubes in foil and comfort.
• THERMOtec®earmolds for universal RIC connection.
In general, Hörluchs offers three options for installing receiver in the ear hearing aid:
• All common S/M receivers: these are generally installed in the universal drill hole without a sleeve. The principle is the same as for the
  UNIRIC SOFT, but without an additional sleeve The receiver in the ear hearing aid is inserted directly in the earmold, which has been
  softened by body hear (EXAMPLE 1. See also the illustration on p. 14).
• Exception: Connexx receivers: The original Sivantos sleeve can be inserted in the drill hole here (see EXAMPLE 2).
• The receiver can be pulled into place using the Multifix adapter in narrow ear canals (see EXAMPLE 3).

EXAMPLE 1: ALL CURRENT S/M RECEIVERS
1. Warm earmold using Ventilette.
2. Insert receiver into the drill hole with tweezers.
3. Allow earmold to cool and adjust.

EXAMPLE 2: CONNEXX RECEIVERS                                    Sivantos                               THERMOtec®                Connexx

1. Warm earmold using Ventilette.
2. Press original Sivantos sleeve into the drill hole.
3. Insert Connexx receiver into the sleeve with tweezers.
4. Allow earmold to cool and adjust.

EXAMPLE 3: NARROW EAR CANAL
In narrow ear canals, it is possible that installation of the receiver or sleeve will
need to be handled using alternative methods due to a lack of space:
1. Sharpen Multifix adapter.
2. Pull adapter over the receiver.
3. Pull Multifix adapter with receiver into the earmold and position correctly.
4. Bond Multifix adapter.
5. Cut off Multifix adapter.

                     Some people might call it a handicap, but at
                     Hörluchs it's a superpower: With our children’s
                     earmolds, we ensure the best possible technology
                     can be used to improve children’s hearing. Children
                     also need to be able to identify with their hearing
                     aid. The best way to help them do so is to offer cool
                     designs, an exciting story, and the ability to turn
                     “I have to” into “I want to.”
                     All children’s earmolds are manufactured from soft
                     silicone to guarantee comfort and further improve
                     acceptance.

                         ADVANTAGES
                         The relationship between speech and disruptive noise is designated by an SNR value. SNR stands for “signal to
                         noise ratio.” Using the right filters to improve the SNR value results in the following advantages:
                         • Improving the SNR by 1 dB = improve speech understanding by 20%.
                         • Linear damping of 10 to 15 dB at low frequency ranges also improves the SNR value.
                         • Masking effects in the low frequency range are significantly reduced by the HCP earmold, providing
                           significantly better speech comprehension using the hearing aid.
                         • The HCP earmold supports almost all hearing aid features thanks to its acoustic mechanism.
