Widex Enjoy RIC 312 D (MFi): A Complete Product Description

What Is the Widex Enjoy RIC 312 D?

The Widex Enjoy RIC 312 D is a receiver‑in‑canal (RIC) hearing aid from the Widex Enjoy™ family. Designed as an entry‑level yet highly capable solution, the Enjoy series offers Widex’s signature natural sound quality at a more accessible price point. The “RIC” design places the main body discreetly behind your ear, connected by a thin, nearly invisible wire to a small receiver (speaker) that sits inside your ear canal. This open‑fit design reduces the “occlusion effect” (that plugged‑up feeling) and allows natural low‑frequency sounds to enter your ear while amplifying high frequencies where most hearing loss occurs. The “312 D” indicates the device uses a disposable size 312 zinc‑air battery and includes MFi (Made for iPhone) direct streaming capability. It is designed for individuals with mild to moderately severe hearing loss, with a fitting range of 20‑115 dB HL for both the 100 and 50 technology levels.

The Enjoy series is positioned as a high‑quality digital hearing solution at great value, engineered for comfort, clarity, and reliable performance.

Technology Levels: 100 and 50

The Widex Enjoy RIC 312 D is available in two technology levels: 100 (higher performance) and 50 (standard). While the PDF price list does not provide an exhaustive feature matrix for the Enjoy series, the following information is based on the specifications available in the document and established Widex product architecture.

Widex Enjoy RIC 312 D 100 (F2 100)

Within the Enjoy RIC 312 D lineup, the 100 tier delivers enhanced capabilities for users seeking superior adaptability across various listening environments.

• Sound Processing: 2.5 ms processing speed for superior sound quality (comparable to the Magnify and Evoke platforms) – a key differentiator from the ultra‑fast (<0.5 ms) PureSound™ processing found in premium Moment and Allure models.

• Universal Automatic Program: Unlike the advanced speech enhancers in higher‑end families, the Enjoy series uses a Universal Automatic Program that adapts to different sound environments for consistent and comfortable listening.

• Locator with Fixed Directionality: Enhances speech understanding by providing directional focus. The Enjoy series uses fixed directionality (as opposed to the channel‑specific directionality in Magnify or the HD Locator in Moment). This helps users hear speech more clearly when the sound source is in front of them.

• Soft Level Noise Reduction (up to 6 dB): Unwanted background noise is reduced for greater listening comfort. While the Enjoy series does not include advanced wind noise control, the soft‑level noise reduction helps in quieter environments.

• ZEN / ZEN Plus Tinnitus Management: A built‑in tinnitus management tool that uses soothing tones and/or noise to help reduce the effects of tinnitus. This feature is included across both Enjoy technology levels.

• Personal Programs (Equalizer): Users can save their preferred sound adjustments as easily accessible personal programs using the equaliser function within the app.

• MFi Audio Streaming: Direct audio streaming from iPhones (Made for iPhone) for phone calls, music, podcasts, and videos. The “D” in the model name ensures seamless wireless connectivity with compatible Apple devices.

Widex Enjoy RIC 312 D 50 (F2 50)

The 50 level offers solid, reliable performance for users who want essential Enjoy features at the most accessible price point.

• Sound Processing: 2.5 ms processing speed (same as the 100 level).

• Universal Automatic Program: Included (same as 100).

• Locator with Fixed Directionality: Included, but may have fewer fine‑tuning options than the 100 level. At the 30 level (available in other form factors), the directionality is fixed rather than adjustable; the 50 level likely offers a similar or slightly reduced feature set compared to the 100.

• Soft Level Noise Reduction (up to 6 dB): Included.

• ZEN / ZEN Plus Tinnitus Management: Included.

• Personal Programs (Equalizer): Included.

• MFi Audio Streaming: Included.

Features Common to Both Levels

Both the 100 and 50 levels of the Widex Enjoy RIC 312 D share the following core technologies:

SoundClass™ Technology

All Widex hearing aids incorporate SoundClass Technology, which automatically divides listening environments into distinct categories based on real‑life measurements. The system continuously analyses incoming sound to determine whether prominent speech is present. If speech is found, the device makes audibility the top priority; if no significant speech is detected, it shifts its focus to delivering a comfortable listening experience. This ensures an improved hearing experience without the need to manually switch programs. The user effectively experiences the benefit of having multiple hearing aids in one, as settings adjust seamlessly when moving between different sound environments.

Disposable Battery (Size 312)

The size 312 battery is a common, widely available hearing aid battery that typically provides 3‑7 days of use depending on streaming activity, amplification demands, and daily wearing time. The hearing aid features a battery door that doubles as an on/off switch – open the door to power down the device, close it to turn it on. Audible low‑battery warnings indicate when a replacement is needed. No charging equipment is required, making this model ideal for users who prefer simple, disposable battery operation.

MFi Direct Audio Streaming

The “D” in the model name enables direct audio streaming from iPhones. Users can stream phone calls, music, podcasts, and videos directly from their iPhone to their hearing aids without requiring an intermediary device. This feature is compatible with iPhones and other Apple devices that support Made for iPhone hearing aids.

Widex Tonelink App

The WIDEX TONELINK™ app turns your smartphone into a remote control for your hearing aids. Using your phone’s speaker to transmit acoustic control signals, the app allows you to discreetly adjust key functions including volume, program selection, and directional focus without needing to carry a separate remote or touch your hearing aids. It offers a wide range of options, from volume adjustment to full surround sound control.

TV Play 2 Compatibility

The Enjoy RIC 312 D is compatible with the WIDEX TV PLAY 2, which allows direct stereo streaming of television audio to your hearing aids. The device offers excellent sound performance, connects via 2.4 GHz for stable streaming, and can be easily controlled using the app.

RC‑DEX Compatibility

The RC‑DEX is a simple, compact remote control (small enough to be used as a keyring attachment) for changing programs and adjusting volume. Its battery lasts twelve months, making it a convenient option for users who prefer physical controls over app‑based adjustments.

Push Button

Each hearing aid includes a programmable push button that can be configured for short or long presses to control various functions – for example, changing programs, adjusting volume, or answering/ending phone calls.

Telecoil

The Enjoy RIC 312 D includes telecoil compatibility, allowing users to connect easily to telecoil‑enabled systems commonly found in theatres, places of worship, and public venues with induction loop systems.

TrueInput Technology

Widex’s TrueInput Technology provides an expanded input range of 113 dB SPL, handling very loud sounds without distortion while preserving soft sounds. This ensures impressive speech intelligibility and sound quality in every situation.

Dynamic Feedback Controller

Fast and efficient detection and cancellation of feedback (whistling), engineered to adapt and preserve sound quality without artefacts.

What Is Not Included (Honest Disclosure)

The Widex Enjoy RIC 312 D does not include the advanced features found in higher‑end Widex families like Moment, Allure, or even Magnify. There is no Speech Enhancer Pro, no AI Sound Assistant (MySound AI), no HD Locator (channel‑specific directionality), no Digital Pinna, no hands‑free calling (the hearing aid microphones are not used for phone calls – you must speak into your phone), and no rechargeable battery option. The processing speed (2.5 ms) is slower than the ultra‑fast PureSound™ processing (0.5 ms) found in Moment and Allure. Additionally, the Enjoy series does not include advanced wind noise management, only basic wind noise control. The Enjoy RIC 312 D also does not support ASHA streaming for Android devices – only MFi for iPhones.

Physical Design and Customization

The Enjoy RIC 312 D is supplied in a standard beige colour. Other colour housing options may be available with a delivery lead time. Receivers come in different lengths and power levels (S, M, P, HP). The cost to customise HP receivers is already included in the RIC pricing. The push button is discreetly integrated into the device body and can be programmed for short or long presses.

What You Should Know Before Buying

The Widex Enjoy RIC 312 D requires professional fitting by an audiologist. In India, hearing aids are exempt from GST; however, accessories (TV Play 2, RC‑DEX, etc.) do attract GST. Warranty varies by technology level – please confirm with your provider. You will need to purchase size 312 batteries separately.

This model is best suited for users with mild to moderately severe hearing loss (up to 115 dB HL) who want a reliable, disposable‑battery RIC with essential MFi streaming and good noise reduction at an accessible price point. The Enjoy series is positioned as a value‑oriented solution within the Widex portfolio – perfect for first‑time hearing aid users, budget‑conscious buyers, or anyone who prefers a straightforward, no‑complexity hearing aid with the core benefits of Widex sound quality.

Choose the 100 level if you want the highest level of performance within the Enjoy series. Choose the 50 level for solid everyday performance at a more accessible price. If you need rechargeable convenience, Android streaming (ASHA), or advanced features like AI personalisation, consider the Magnify or Moment families instead.
