The Audio Service G7 12 ITC Li 7 in review
Die Technik dieser Gerätefamilie ist bereits überholt. Wir haben die Bewertung deshalb mit einem Abschlag in der Gesamtnote versehen. Zur neuesten Chiptechnik des Herstellers geht es hier entlang: Audio Service G8
Here we take a look at a hearing aid from the premium price range that is worn in the ear. It is called G7 12 ITC Li 7 and comes from the manufacturer Audio Service. It can be used by anyone with almost any hearing needs who desires a discreet hearing aid. Due to its comfortable and acoustically favorable position in the ear canal, it has very good sound characteristics.
Hearing comfort
The hearing comfort determines whether someone likes wearing their hearing aids or not. That's why we first looked at how the hearing aid handles background noise. With this model, which Audio Service presents, a solid comfort programming by the audiologist is possible. Naturally, noise suppression is integrated to minimize exhausting background sounds. In the G7 12 ITC Li 7, the noise suppression works quite well. While there are other models that significantly reduce background noise, this one should be sufficient for everyday hearing. For windy situations outdoors, Audio Service has provided wind noise reduction. This is certainly useful and is simply part of a modern comfort equipment.
Impulse-like sounds are also detected by this device and are tolerably reduced. Spatial hearing is reliably supported by multifunction microphones and is practical for real-world use. A high number of frequency bands assists in separating speech from noise. The G7 12 ITC Li 7 certainly performs well with its 16 bands.
Sometimes we encounter hearing aids that successfully process data using artificial intelligence, but that is not yet the case with this device.
Rating Hearing comfort: 3,0

Operation & connectivity
How can one fully utilize the potential of hearing aids in everyday life? We found out what access options are available with the G7 12 ITC Li 7. Usually, there is a button on the hearing aid, and we found one on the G7 12 as well. It can be configured as a volume control or a program selection button and can also be disabled if desired. We really like the small remote controls, and we found one for this model. This allows for discreet adjustments to the volume or sound.
The modern form of operation via voice command is not yet available in the G7 12 ITC Li 7. If there are sensors in the hearing aid, a tap control could be conceivable, triggering a specific function by tapping the ear with fingers. However, this option is not available in the G7 12 ITC Li 7.
A manual control includes an app. This allows for discreet access to the hearing aid. In addition to volume control, one can also adjust hearing programs and a few other functions. The G7 12 comes with a 2.4 GHz antenna and offers us the advantage of binaural phone calls. This even gives us an edge over normal hearing individuals. We think that's great and gladly give points for it.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 2,0

Simplicity & security
User-friendliness is the next aspect we want to address. It's about practicality and the question of how easy and secure it is to go through life with the hearing aid. With the G7 12 ITC Li 7, we experienced an effective situational automatic that supports our hearing well. This already ensures that we don’t have to constantly adjust the hearing aid. The integrated acclimatization manager can be of great help when entering the world of hearing aids. Its task is to gradually raise the volume of the hearing aid in tiny steps until the target volume is reached. This way, you can relax and gradually get used to the new auditory impressions. More information on acclimatization and other hearing aids with this feature can be found here: Acclimatization to Hearing Aids.
The G7 12 ITC Li 7 contains a rechargeable battery. We find this very good, as rechargeable hearing aids are absolutely contemporary. You don’t have to have batteries lying around everywhere, and you don’t have to change the battery in the middle of a concert. The hearing aid is simply placed in the charging station overnight and has enough energy for the following day.
We also take a look at the robustness of the casing and find the protection class IP 68 in the data sheet. This means dust cannot penetrate at all, and water becomes dangerous only after prolonged submersion. Protection against contact is also included.
Rating Simplicity & security: 1,3

Extras
In conclusion, we want to know if the hearing aid perhaps offers any specials: Worth mentioning is the tinnitus program. Those who suffer from annoying ear noises will benefit from it. Pleasant, quiet sounds are set up to gently surround the tinnitus. In the end, the tinnitus fades into the background noise and becomes hardly noticeable.
A very good added benefit comes from the remote maintenance service. Through the app, you can contact your audiologist and describe your hearing problem. They can adjust the settings accordingly and upload them to the hearing aids via the app. This is a great service for people with little time or a long commute.
A new trend in the hearing aid industry is integrated sensors that can track, for example, some personal health data. However, the G7 12 ITC Li 7 does not offer this. It would have been nice to have some lifestyle features, but they are not available in the G7 12 ITC Li 7. Other hearing aids may score with speech translators or fall alarms, but here it remains within the usual range of functions.
Rating Extras: 2,5
Conclusion: Audio Service G7 12 ITC Li 7
With a final grade of 2.82, this model holds its position in the mid-range. It has a fairly decent comfort feature on board, which is sufficient for typical everyday moments and creates a satisfying listening experience.
