nature® classic

nature® classic - the premium RIC fitting combines perfect workmanship with feather-light design. It is characterised by perfectly parallel bore holes and a combination of 30% solid and 70% foil, which ensures optimum sound and wearing comfort. Choose between two materials: thermo-flex for flexibility and lightness and rigid acrylate for durability and resistance.

// perfectly parallel bore holes
// 30% solid and 70% foil content
// absolutely uniform wall thickness

Less is more.

When nature® classic is manufactured from our thermo-flexible material, the result is an earmold of the absolute top class. This is because an extremely small and feather-light design can be achieved without the need for any additional components - for a wearing experience that could not be more natural.

ACRYLATE 3D

easy to insert and remove, durable, dirt-repellent, easy to clean, break-resistant


CLASSIFICATION
Directive 93/42/EEC (medical device class IIa)

Clear as crystal.

This highly transparent material is processed energy-efficiently using direct 3D printing and is characterised by high stability and excellent UV resistance. Earmolds made from light-curing 3D acrylate have a high elongation at break and do not become brittle. They are robust, particularly easy to care for and fulfil the highest aesthetic demands. Available in three colors. All rigid earmolds are ground, compacted and polished to a high gloss in our 3-stage vibratory grinding process. The homogeneous surface treatment is a process that is coordinated in detail, because it is only through the right setting and the perfect "recipe" that our extremely break-resistant earmoulds with dirt-repellent surfaces and a brilliant high-gloss finish are created. The validated and standardised mass finishing process ensures a reproducible precision finish with a high surface quality for every single earmould. Our basic products are made from the same materials and undergo the same high-quality process. Only the final step, polishing, is omitted. A lacquered or glazed surface can be ordered as an option for an additional charge.

POLYURETHAN (PU)

natural feel, permanently elastic, robust, very skin-friendly


DEGREE OF HARDNESS
60 Shore A (final hardness)

CLASSIFICATION
guideline 93/42/EWG (medical device class IIa)

As smooth as silk.

This premium material is rigid at room temperature and becomes soft and flexible when worn in the ear. As the material adapts perfectly to the ear canal in this way, a natural wearing sensation is guaranteed and pressure pain, e.g. when moving the jaw, is a problem of the past. Thanks to these permanently elastic, flexible properties, polyurethane earmolds are characterized by a very high level of long-term wearing comfort. Its resistance to UV light (no discoloration) and high tear resistance make it an extremely robust material with a long service life. Our thermo-flexible PU is biocompatible and contains no monomers. This makes it not only skin-friendly, but also suitable for sensitive ears and allergies. Available in two colors.

Retention

We design all nature® classic retentions as discreetly as possible. For this reason, the short hook, ring and claw only have one or two thin bars as a transition from the earmold to the retention. The tragus area and the inner part towards the base of the concha are therefore not covered with material. This enables the filigree and feather-light design of the nature® classic - even with retention.

Short hook

This minimalist support covers little ear tissue, is therefore barely visible and offers reliable support.

Hold in the ear

Claw

The claw shape ensures a secure hold thanks to its holding points in the cymba and on the antitragus.

Ring

This support utilizes all the attachment points of the auricle, has good heat dissipation and enables easy insertion and removal.

Hold in the ear

The nature® plus retentions are modeled as discreetly as possible. The transition from the earmold to the retention is seamless. The larger design means that more material is available in the tragus area and the inner concha for support.

Wall Thickness

1,4 mm

normal

  • comfortable to wear
  • good fixation of the handse
  • medium heat dissipation

1,4 mm is our proven standard wall thickness. All nature® earmolds in this thickness maintain the perfect balance between too much and too little. They combine a comfortable fit with good fixation of the hearing aid and at the same time have room to move without being too soft.

0,8 mm

thin

  • feather-light feel
  • fast customer acceptance
  • high heat dissipation

Extremely thin walls of just 0.8 mm can be created from our thermo-flexible material. These thin and flexible walls adapt to every movement of the ear canal and allow the nature® earmold to virtually melt into the ear - for a feather-light wearing comfort.

Our tip: We recommend a thin wall thickness for mild to moderate hearing loss.

max.

solid

  • stable earmold
  • very good fixation of the receiver
  • low heat dissipation

The solid construction ensures that the receiver is optimally guided in the cavity provided for it and thus enables a secure hold in the earmold. The receiver cannot slip or wobble.

Our tip: The wall thickness depends on the earpiece size and is made as solid as possible.

Insert part

nature® earmolds made of rigid material require an insert to fix the receiver in place. nature® made of thermo-flexible material can also be manufactured by us without an insert part, as this material can be heated and slim tubes or RICs can be placed directly into the bore. This guarantees the smallest possible size and, in combination with our standard bore (2.0 mm), creates the basis for a large number of manufacturers.

 

*Excluding Audio Service, Signia, Siemens and Connex Version 2.0.

Venting

We supplement our ventings with three additional options.

Normal

Additional waxing on the tragus increases the seal.

Graded (Stepvent)

Additional waxing on the tragus increases the seal.

Separate

A ventilation hole is drilled above and below the receiver hole.

Extension for all vents

With this option, the ventings can be easily enlarged during the fitting process. We place the appropriate holes in advance to simplify post-processing.

Opening & Co

An opening provides additional ventilation of the ear tissue and better heat dissipation. In addition, openings can be used to create more space for the installation of the receiver in narrow spaces or a highly angled ear canal.

 

Good to know! Unlike a recess, the functional edges remain intact, resulting in significantly more stability and hold.

tragus side

concha side

both sides

Recesses serve to ventilate sensitive ears. Significantly less heat is generated in the area of these cavities, as the skin remains free and is therefore not restricted in its thermo-regulating function.

tragus side

concha side

both sides

The option jaw joint recess avoids the area of the jaw joint in the ear canal with the nature® earmold. This reduces chewing noises and resonances of the skull bone and provides an optimal sound image. Whether open or closed depends on the type and method of fitting.

Extras

Retrieval thread

The nature® earmold can be selected with an already fitted retrieval thread, with a separately enclosed retrieval thread for later fitting or without a retrieval thread.

Earwax guard

We use the HF4 Black audio service filter for earwax guard as standard. Optionally we install CeruStop.

Desired laser engraving

In addition to the serial number, we engrave a name of your choice or an individual number on the earmold. Up to 11 characters are possible.

Color marking

Our earmolds are marked blue for left and red for right as standard.

Antireflection

A special sandblasting process is used to anti-reflect the earmold on the surfaces facing the ear canal. This creates an even, silky matt surface that neither reflects nor gleams, even in strong light, thus ensuring minimal visibility in the ear.

Special shapes

All special shapes can be ordered in all materials. Many other options are also possible, e.g. antireflection or customized laser engraving.
