TIE, a natural hearing experience beyond expectations
Ear Technic continues to be the star of the industry with its groundbreaking 3rd Generation TIE (Transducers in the ear) technology in 2021, and offers hearing aid users a natural hearing experience, quality communication and superior life pleasure beyond their expectations.
Ear Technic presented the 1st Generation TIE innovative hearing aid at the EUHA congress in 2019, the 2nd Generation TIE X Wireless hearing systems in 2020, 3rd generation TIE XR Wireless and RF (Radio Frequency) superior and unique recharging technology will presented to visitors at the Hannover EUHA congress in 2021.
What was the necessity for TIE technology?
Because People are unique
As a social being, people are constantly on the move, and people’s lifestyle, workspace and individual listening needs are different from each other. Hearing aids must be equipped with the quality and equipment to respond to the sound needs of the person in order to be adapted to each hearing loss and to the individual. Tie offers a revolutionary natural sound for voices to take on a personal character, allowing the most natural sounds to be heard, as it adds the biometric characteristics of the ear to the hearing line.
Hearing pleasure is as personal as a fingerprint and as private as a palate. Individuals with hearing difficulties can have the personal sound features they need in daily life and an excellent hearing experience with Tie technology.
Tie, which was developed and manufactured as a result of 5 years of R&D studies, differs from other classical BTE and RIC devices that have been physically developed in the last 50 years. Tie is a new category of hearing aids with a modular and semi-modular system where the microphone and receiver are in the ear. Now, every user can take advantage of superior sound quality, better understanding in noisy environments and more comfortable detecting directionality by using the revolutionary Tie hearing aid/hearing system.
Pinna
The biometric structure of the pinna not only collects sounds, but also helps the formation of personal voice character and sound pleasure. The sound signal created by the pinna is transmitted to the microphone at the tip of the ear canal without undergoing any change. In this way, the sound is transmitted to the brain in a more natural, clearer and more understandable way. Since hearing loss weakens directionality, normal hearing technologies are insufficient to create this directionality.
Since the sound path is set up correctly from the start, it resembles the natural system as much as possible. The pinna is equipped with important features in sound transmission. For example; It determines whether the sound is coming from the front or the back, up or down, so it always provides the best localization. Tragus, part of the ear, attenuates wind noise by about 20dB. In addition, the biometric concavities of the pinna regulate the high level of sound echo.
The Earnet Tie hearing aid does not have the microphone localization effect problem experienced in classical BTE and RIC devices. Tie continuously produce natural sound at all times and under all conditions. Most of the hearing aid users state that they have comprehension problems especially in noisy environments and cannot detect the direction of the sound easily. Tie technology is leading the way in solving the most complex problems that have been chronic for years, such as understanding and directionality detection in a noisy environment.

Advantage of one microphone
The pinna is built on a single system. Unfortunately, in daily life currently used double microphones cannot provide the success they provide in the laboratory environment. When one of the two microphones is exposed to external factors, the matching system may break down prematurely, and the need for renewal of the microphones arises due to this situation.
More than one microphone could be used in Tie technology, but with the incorporation of pinna functions into the transmission line, there is no need to use dual microphones and multiple microphones are not needed. It should be noted that pinna can always determine direction better and reduce more noise than a multi-microphone system. In addition, the autopilot system used in Tie technology is equipped with algorithms that provide higher performance with one microphone by performing real-time environment analysis.
A new category in the industry
Tie modular, the first unique device in the world, has signature under four innovations together. These innovations are:
- The microphone and receiver are placed in the ear.
- The device has been divided into three parts to form a modular system.
- Wireless system has been added to the Tie modular system.
- Wireless and without switch recharging feature has been added to the Tie technology for the first time in the world with RF technology.
In clinical studies, Tie device users stated that pinna effect is clear, sounds are perceived more clearly and there is a significant difference compared to other classical devices. They also stated that they can determine the direction of the sound more easily, noises are reduced and sounds are more natural with Tie devices.
Statement of Ear Technic Chairman M. Emin Ağaç: “Tie (Transducers in the ear) technology, which we have developed as a result of 5 years of R&D work, broke new ground in the hearing sector. The first of these has brought a new category to the sector. Secondly, users have gained a new hearing experience. Tie has eliminated the disadvantages such as microphone localization effect and high frequency loss in Behind The Ear and RIC devices developed in the last 50 years. In addition, the device offers strong gain, despite its reduced size and its modular structure has minimized the repair time in case of failure of the devices. The innovations offered by Tie technology will bring a new perspective and image to the hearing sector. Developed by Ear Technic, Tie technology, which came to the world market from Earnet, Helixhearing and Anaton brands, broke new ground in the hearing sector and made hearing aid users trust the hearing aid more. Earnet Tie device will strengthen the communication of individuals with hearing problems and enable them to be more active in life.
Tie is divided into different groups:
- Non-rechargeable model: Device works with 10 battery
- Wireless system: Device works with 312 battery
- Wireless rechargeable system with RF technology works with lithium ion battery.
Connection cables of all three groups and the Rec & Mic module inserted into the ear are the same. There are three sizes of connection cables with right and left ear options.
In addition, Tie X devices can be controlled and managed on all smartphones through the CleverEar program to be downloaded from the iOS AppStore and Google Play Store.

- Pinna shadows the high frequency sounds coming from behind and weakens them. The amplitude of the sounds above 2000 Hz coming from the back is about 3-5dB lower than the sounds coming from the front at the entrance of the ear canal.
- Pinna changes the spectrum of sounds at the entrance of the ear canal and amplifies it to an understandable level.
- When voices with the same spectra meet, the first voice is always stronger.
- Pinna, asymmetrical and irregular shape, ridges and concavities make a sound depending on the direction of the source.
- Pinna notch function is needed to detect the sound coming from up and down.
- The sound hitting the pinna causes a resonance change and frequency shift in the external ear canal due to its angle.
- Double pinna contributes to hearing more sounds by making summation effect.
- Hearing with double pinna and using binaural hearing aids when needed cause less cognitive fatigue.
