The Audio Service G7 12 Mood R Li T 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
The G7 12 Mood R Li T 7 from Audio Service is a discreet hearing aid that is worn behind the ear. By utilizing a speaker that sits directly in the ear canal, excellent sound transmission is possible. The G7 12 Mood R Li T 7 is a hearing aid from the higher price range and is suitable for both mild and more significant hearing needs.
With a battery life of up to 36 hours, AudioService sets new standards in this model. The exact capacity depends on the degree of hearing loss and individual streaming usage.
Hearing comfort
We all agree that speech understanding is the most important task of hearing aids. From our experience in the hearing acoustics retail business, we also know that listening comfort is at least equally important. It is about processing background noise so that it does not restrict speech understanding while still creating a natural sound landscape. In testing the G7 12 Mood R Li T 7, solid comfort programming by the hearing care professional is possible. Let’s take a look at the individual features:
Of course, this Audio Service device features noise suppression, as that has become standard. Noise suppression means that uniform and rather monotonous sounds (e.g. air conditioning, vacuum cleaner ...) are dampened. This works quite well here. In a normal listening environment, it is certainly manageable.
The impulse filter in this hearing aid is quite solid and suitable for everyday use. There is also wind management, which we find very good, as many people enjoy being outdoors. The reduction of wind noise occurs at a moderate level. The G7 12 Mood R Li T 7 is among the good hearing aids, at least regarding the number of frequency channels. With 16 channels, it is well-equipped for precise adjustment to personal sound preferences. Spatial hearing has convinced us in everyday life. While it is not true 3D hearing, you quickly forget that when wearing the hearing aids.
The signal processing is based, among other things, on typical frequency patterns of speech and noise, but artificial intelligence has not yet been implemented here.
Rating Hearing comfort: 3,0

Operation & connectivity
The majority of features are activated automatically by this audio service model. Sometimes, however, it is very useful to expand the functionality a bit further. In the test, we discovered what options we have here. There is a button directly on the hearing aid. With it, you can adjust the volume or activate additional hearing programs. It can be programmed entirely according to customer preferences. The use is, of course, optional. A discreet way to change the hearing aid is the remote control. It fits in any pocket. If the person you're talking to speaks too softly again, just one or two clicks are enough to adjust the volume. Additional hearing programs for listening to music or driving can also be activated with the remote control.
Some hearing aids can already be controlled by voice, but this one from Audio Service unfortunately cannot yet. This would be practical if the fingers are not as nimble anymore or if you simply like smart gadgets. In addition to buttons or remote controls, some hearing aids also have a tap control feature. This means you can simply tap your ear briefly, and the device will switch. However, we do not have this at Audio Service, as it would have required very specific sensors.
As is common today, we also find a smartphone app for the G7 12 Mood R Li T 7. This app contains solid basic functions and adds a few extra goodies on top. You no longer need headphones here, as it has a wireless option and can transmit sounds directly from the smartphone to the ears – provided the smartphone is equipped with 2.4 GHz LE technology.

Simplicity & security
Another point in our checklist is the handling. Does everything work simply and reliably? What does the hearing aid offer to ensure safe use in everyday life? Daily hearing is made easier by the good program automation in the G7 12 Mood R Li T 7. It is rarely necessary to use the manual hearing programs because the automation covers many situations. Very important for us in terms of simplicity is the support during acclimatization. Especially after having heard poorly for years, it can be difficult to perceive everything at a natural volume. In our test device, there is an acclimatization manager that helps us with very small volume adjustments throughout the acclimatization phase. After several weeks or months, we have then reached the calculated amplification level.
The G7 12 Mood R Li T 7 has 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 also 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.
The data sheet certifies the Audio Service device with an IP protection class 68 certification. This makes it one of the most robust hearing aids on the market. Dust has no chance, and water cannot penetrate the housing, as long as it does not submerge deeper than 1.5 m. However, be careful. Shampoo, for example, alters the surface tension of water. You should also avoid saltwater. In everyday life, however, you can behave completely carefree.
Rating Simplicity & security: 1,3

Extras
At the end of our test report, there is still a bit of room for the extra features: We really liked the optional tinnitus program. There are quite a few people who occasionally or frequently suffer from ringing or buzzing in their ears. The tinnitus program in the G7 12 Mood R Li T 7 is essentially just a sound generator. It is about creating broadband noises or sounds that gently and pleasantly stimulate all hearing areas. The tinnitus fades into the background and is no longer perceived as disruptive.
We find the remote maintenance service quite exciting, which can be utilized. If you do not have the opportunity to visit the hearing care professional, you can contact them via the app, briefly describe your hearing problem, and then receive a data package with a new hearing aid configuration. If it sounds good, you load it into your hearing aids.
Some hearing aids can track certain health data. However, this requires special sensors in the hearing aid, which we do not have in the G7 12 Mood R Li T 7. The device from Audio Service focuses on essential hearing functions and does not offer extras like voice assistants or translation features. While that would be fun, it is not necessary for a good listening experience.
Rating Extras: 2,5
