The Audio Service G6 8 Mood in review
Unser Hörgerätevergleich bietet Ihnen einen Einblick in die neuesten Hörgeräte. Da diese hier nicht mehr ganz aktuell sind, haben wir sie mit einem Abschlag der Gesamtnote versehen
Here we take a look at a hearing aid from the lower mid-range designed to be worn behind the ear. It is called G6 8 Mood and is from the manufacturer Audio Service. It can be used by anyone with nearly any hearing requirement who desires a discreet hearing aid. Its direct orientation of the speaker into the ear canal provides very good sound characteristics.
Hearing comfort
In the hearing comfort section, we look at how a hearing aid handles all the background noise. Comfortable noise management significantly contributes to a user liking and regularly wearing their hearing aids. A solid comfort programming by the hearing care professional is possible with this audio service device. The regular noise suppression aims to reduce uniform, muffled background noises. In the G6 8 Mood, noise suppression works rather average but is slightly modifiable.
Impulse sounds frequently occur in everyday life. There's the dishwasher that needs unloading or the keys being placed on the table. The G6 8 Mood has strong impulse sound management that makes these sounds bearable. Those who enjoy being outdoors will appreciate the wind noise suppression. While it doesn't dampen as much, it is certainly useful. Spatial hearing requires a bit of practice with the G6 8 Mood. However, the adaptive microphone system provides good support in social settings. We always take a close look at the number of equalizer bands. They are important for adapting the sound of a hearing aid as closely as possible to the hearing curve. Additionally, speech noise management occurs within these bands as well. The G6 8 Mood has 12 of them. That's okay.
Other hearing aids already use artificial intelligence in their signal processing, but the G6 8 Mood does not yet incorporate this strategy.
Rating Hearing comfort: 3,3
Operation & connectivity
The operating options for hearing aids today can be as simple or as complex as one might like. The basic functions, of course, operate fully automatically. We wanted to know how a user can additionally access the G6 8 Mood. The simplest way to operate it is always through a button directly on the hearing aid. This one has that feature as well. It can be programmed according to your preferences. Do you want manual volume control? No problem, the button allows for stepwise adjustment of the volume. Or do you need different special programs for your professional day-to-day tasks or hobbies? These can also be activated via the button. For those who prefer everything to remain in automatic mode, the button can simply be ignored or even disabled. A very practical feature is the small remote control that is available optionally. For us, it’s one of the most convenient ways to make the hearing aid louder or quieter or to switch to another hearing program. No one notices it, and there’s no need to reach for the ear.
The modern form of operation using voice commands is not yet found in the G6 8 Mood. If there are sensors in the hearing aid, a tap control could be implemented, meaning activating a specific function by tapping the ear with your fingers. However, this option is not available in the G6 8 Mood.
Smartphone apps are now frequently offered to enhance the usability of hearing aids. In our opinion, the app from Audio Service is among the better ones, as it provides a good range of adjustment options. For our digital day-to-day life, a streaming option wouldn't be bad. The device in question meets our wish and comes with a 2.4 GHz radio module. This allows you to send phone calls and sounds directly from your smartphone to the hearing aids.

Simplicity & security
Of course, we are also interested in how quickly one adapts to the G6 8 Mood and how easy daily use is. The G6 8 Mood automatically accesses the most important hearing settings, making daily use easier. However, those who frequently experience changing acoustic environments should have the manual additional programs configured. We are very pleased with the integrated acclimatization manager. It gradually increases the volume of the hearing aid in tiny steps until our target amplification is eventually reached. We can relax and gradually get used to the new hearing impressions.
Unfortunately, the G6 8 Mood is not equipped with a rechargeable battery, so regular size 312 batteries are needed for operation.
We had a carefree daily life in our test due to the IP-68 certification. This indicates that the hearing aid is particularly well protected against dust and water. We marched through the rain and then took out the hearing aids with wet hands - no problem at all. However, the water resistance really only applies to fresh, natural water and not to foamy bath water or saltwater.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,3
Extras
Sometimes, hearing aids come with additional features that can be quite useful. Let's see how it is with this Audio Service device: Worth mentioning is the tinnitus program. Those plagued by annoying ear noises will benefit from it. Pleasant, soft sounds are set to gently surround the tinnitus. In the end, the tinnitus fades into the background noise and is no longer disturbing at all.
Unfortunately, there is no option for remote adjustment. Therefore, anyone who needs optimization and wants to change their hearing aid settings cannot avoid a visit to the acoustic professional.
This G6 8 variant does not have sensors, so popular health tracking cannot be offered either. For example, steps throughout the day are counted. As mentioned - this hearing aid does not have this function. The functionality of the G6 8 Mood is limited to normal hearing, which is perfectly fine. Additional features such as fall alarms or Siri connections provide significant added value but are not relevant for good hearing balance.
Rating Extras: 3,3
Conclusion: Audio Service G6 8 Mood
This test device concludes in the lower ranks and lacks some features. We rate it with a score of 3.8. This is acceptable for less demanding listeners, but for a very active lifestyle, we recommend a hearing aid with more extensive comfort features.
