Phonak Terra RIC

The Phonak Terra RIC is a sleek, effective hearing aid from Phonak—a Swiss leader in hearing technology under Sonova, creating world-class solutions since 1947. As part of the Terra lineup, this Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) model sits discreetly behind your ear, with a tiny receiver in the canal connected by a thin wire. It’s built for mild to severe hearing loss (up to 100 dB) and runs on a size 312 zinc-air battery for reliable power. (A rechargeable Terra+ RIC-R version is available separately.) With 8 sound processing channels, AutoSense OS 5.0 for adaptive sound, and Bluetooth connectivity, it’s a budget-friendly option for those in India who want clear sound and modern features in a discreet package.

Why Choose Phonak Terra RIC?

The Terra RIC is an entry-to-mid-tier hearing aid in the Terra series—perfect if you want discreet, powerful performance without the higher price tag of Phonak Lumity or Infinio models. Its slim RIC design is less noticeable than bulkier BTE devices like the Naída Marvel M50 SP, but still strong enough for most hearing needs.

Compared to older Phonak Vitus models, Terra RIC offers Bluetooth streaming and AutoSense OS 5.0, making it a modern, connected upgrade. It’s also built tough for India’s humid and dusty weather, thanks to its IP68 protection. For those seeking clear sound and connectivity on a budget, it competes well with alternatives like the Rexton BiCore SR 20 RIC (16 channels) at a lower price.

• Additional support: Pair with Phonak TV Connector or Roger On mic for even better performance in noisy environments.
