Unitron Ativo RIC (S/M/P/UP)
The Unitron Ativo is the essential, wallet-friendly receiver-in-canal aid from Unitron, the Canadian brand within the Sonova group (the same group as Phonak). Its stand-out trick at this price is Made For All connectivity that holds two active Bluetooth connections at once, so a parent can move between phone and laptop or TV without re-pairing anything. One model spans mild to severe loss through four receiver strengths, and our audiologists pick the right one at your free fitting.

What the Ativo is
The honest spec picture, using only what Unitron publishes for this model.
Size 312, around 85 hours
Runs on a standard size 312 disposable battery lasting roughly 85 hours, so there is no charging cradle to remember. You will change the battery about once a week.
Two Bluetooth devices at once
Made For All connectivity holds two active Bluetooth connections together, so you can switch between your phone and a laptop or TV without unpairing anything.
Four receivers: S/M/P/UP
Receivers rated 111, 114, 122 and 132 dB SPL maximum output mean one model covers mild through severe loss. We select the receiver at your fitting.
AntiShock 2 + Frequency Compression 2
AntiShock 2 softens sudden clatter like dropped cutlery, and Frequency Compression 2 helps make high-frequency sounds audible for high-frequency loss.
IP68 rated
An IP68 rating means good resistance to dust and moisture for everyday Indian conditions. It is not a reason to swim or shower in them.
Who it suits (and who should look elsewhere)
Where the Ativo is the right call, and where another model fits better.
First-time budget buyers
If this is a first pair for a parent and cost matters, the Ativo gives genuine Unitron quality and Bluetooth without a premium price.
You use a phone and a TV or laptop
Holding two Bluetooth devices at once suits someone who takes calls on a phone and also watches TV or joins video calls on a laptop.
Mild to severe loss
Four receiver strengths let one model handle a wide range of losses, so the Ativo works for more people than a single fixed-power aid.
You want no battery changes
The Ativo uses disposable 312 batteries. If avoiding tiny batteries is the whole point for you, step up to the rechargeable Moxi S1-R.
You are often in heavy noise
The Ativo does not carry Unitron's advanced speech-in-noise features. For daily restaurants and crowds, look at the Moxi S5-R and above.
You want an invisible aid
A RIC sits behind the ear. If being unnoticed matters most, the custom Insera Blu 3 CIC sits inside the canal instead.

Does the Ativo have Bluetooth?
Yes. It uses Made For All connectivity and can hold two active Bluetooth connections at once, so you can move between your phone and a laptop or TV without unpairing. Note it is not rechargeable; it runs on a size 312 battery.
