The Audio Service G6 8 Mood Li-Ion in review
Die in diesen Geräte verbaute Technik ist nicht mehr ganz aktuell. Lassen Sie sich in unserem Hörgerätevergleich von den neuesten Modellen inspirieren.
The G6 8 Mood Li-Ion from Audio Service is a small hearing aid that is worn behind the ear. Due to its deep placement of the speaker in the ear canal, very good sound transmission is possible. The G6 8 Mood Li-Ion is a hearing aid that falls into a price range slightly above the average and is suitable for both mild and stronger hearing needs.
Hearing comfort
What is bothersome to most hearing aid users: Exactly, background noise. Therefore, let's first look at what comfort features the test device includes. The G6 8 Mood Li-Ion allows for solid comfort programming by the audiologist. Normal noise suppression is definitely present. It is supposed to dampen constant noises like street noise or the hum of the air conditioning. In our test device from Audio Service, this works quite well. In a normal listening environment, it is certainly manageable.
Quickly occurring, rattling noises are noticeably and adequately dampened, which we find pleasant. The G6 8 Mood Li-Ion is also equipped for windy outdoor situations. The signal processing can identify wind and reduce it a little. A solid basis for programming the G6 8 Mood Li-Ion is provided by the 12 equalizer bands. As sound junkies, we wish for a few more, but for the typical situations we encounter in our everyday lives, one can already create a quite reasonable sound profile from this. Adaptive microphone systems facilitate spatial hearing. However, you have to take some time to get used to the new sound; especially at the beginning, it can be difficult to clearly identify where a sound is coming from.
The signal processing is based, among other things, on typical frequency patterns of speech and noise, but artificial intelligence is not yet being used here.
Rating Hearing comfort: 3,3
Audio Service G6 8 Mood Li-Ion:
Operation & connectivity
How can the potential of hearing aids be fully utilized in everyday life? We found out what accessibility options are available with the G6 8 Mood Li-Ion. For those who want to quickly and easily adjust the volume up or down, there is a button on the device. You can also select additional programs for special listening situations through it. The small remote control, which is available as an option, is very practical. For us, it is one of the most comfortable ways to adjust the hearing aid's volume or switch to another hearing program. No one notices it; there's no need to reach for the ear.
We don't find the modern form of voice command operation in the G6 8 Mood Li-Ion yet. Tap Control would have been an interesting feature as it allows you to change functions with a quick tap on the ear. However, this feature is not available in the G6 8 Mood Li-Ion yet.
As expected, we find a suitable application for the smartphone. Here, we are dealing with a powerful app that trusts its user and provides a comprehensive toolkit. The G6 8 comes with a 2.4 GHz antenna and offers us the enjoyment of binaural phone calls. This even gives us an advantage over normal hearing people. We think that’s great and are happy to award points.

Simplicity & security
Another point on our checklist is handling. Does everything work easily and reliably? What does the hearing aid offer to ensure safe use in everyday life? Typical hearing situations that everyone experiences in their environment are reliably detected and adjusted through automatic controls. However, for more specific recurring needs, one cannot avoid using the manual hearing programs. Some people find it difficult to get used to it, but this hearing aid makes it easy for us to cope with the new volume. There is a familiarization manager that gradually guides us to the required target amplification. The duration can range from a few weeks to several months, and this is individually adjustable. The incremental steps are so small that you hardly notice that there has been a volume increase.
The G6 8 Mood Li-Ion is rechargeable and no longer requires hearing aid batteries. This is environmentally friendly, as there are no old batteries to dispose of. At the same time, it is also extremely convenient, as no spare batteries need to be carried around. The hearing aids simply go into the charging station in the evening and are ready for use the next morning.
We had a carefree everyday life in our test due to the IP-68 certification. This means that the hearing aid is particularly well protected against dust and water. We marched through the rain and then took the hearing aids out with wet hands - no problem at all. However, the water resistance really only applies to fresh, natural water, not to foamy bath water or saltwater.
Rating Simplicity & security: 1,5
Extras
Sometimes there are additional features in hearing aids that can be quite useful. Let's see how it is with this Audio Service device: Audio Service has integrated a noise generator that plays some soothing sounds for those suffering from tinnitus. This can distract from the tinnitus and provide a bit more relaxation.
What about remote maintenance? Such online services save a trip to the specialist store, as you can directly contact an acoustics professional through the app. Unfortunately, we couldn't find anything like that for the G6 8 Mood Li-Ion. Too bad, that would have been a great additional tool.
Tracking health data is a real added value in modern hearing aids. However, this Audio Service model lacks the sensors for this service. This Audio Service hearing aid has no additional lifestyle options on board. Elsewhere, there are voice assistants or reminder functions, but you don’t need that for good hearing. It would have just made the product a bit cooler.
Rating Extras: 3,3
Conclusion: Audio Service G6 8 Mood Li-Ion
In the overall result, this test device ends up in the lower ranks and lacks some features. We award a grade of 3.62. This is acceptable for less demanding listeners, but for a very active lifestyle, we recommend a hearing aid with more extensive comfort features.
