The Audio Service G7 12 Mood R S 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
Audio Service offers the G7 12 Mood R S 7, a small hearing aid worn behind the ear. It is a hearing aid at a rather premium price and is suitable for mild, moderate, and even strong hearing needs. By placing the speaker directly in the ear canal, it ensures that sound reaches the eardrum without losses.
Hearing comfort
What is most bothersome for hearing aid users? Exactly, background noise. Therefore, let's first take a look at the comfort features included in the test device. The G7 12 Mood R S 7 allows for solid comfort programming by the audiologist. A normal noise reduction feature is definitely present. It is designed to dampen constant noises such as traffic noise or the hum of air conditioning. In our test device from Audio Service, the noise reduction is solid. There are hearing aids that provide a significantly more effective reduction, but this one should be sufficient for typical needs.
There is also a so-called impulse filter. This dampens short and loud noises a bit. This is a useful function, but we would have liked a bit more adjustment depth. A decent wind management feature helps to suppress small disturbances at the hearing aid microphones. For all outdoor enthusiasts, this function is indispensable. The G7 12 Mood R S 7 is one of the good hearing aids, at least in terms of the number of frequency bands. With 16 bands, it is well-equipped for precise adaptation to personal sound preferences. The microphones of the hearing aid can assume different directional characteristics. They operate independently, adapting to the acoustic conditions and creating a natural spatial experience.
Other hearing aids are already using artificial intelligence in their signal processing, but this strategy is not yet present in the G7 12 Mood R S 7.
Rating Hearing comfort: 3,0

Operation & connectivity
Digital hearing aids have long evolved beyond the basic amplification function. Apps and other control options significantly expand the range of functions, so we will also look at this important topic with the G7 12 Mood R S 7 from Audio Service. There is a button directly on the hearing aid. This allows users to change the volume or activate additional hearing programs. It can be programmed according to the customer's wishes. The use is of course optional. A discreet way to adjust the hearing aid is with the remote control. It fits in any pocket. If the person opposite speaks too softly again, just one or two clicks are enough to adjust the volume. Additional hearing programs for listening to music or for driving can also be activated with the remote control.
The modern method of operation via voice command is not yet available in the G7 12 Mood R S 7. In addition to buttons or remote controls, some hearing aids still have a tap control. This means you can simply tap your ear briefly to switch the device. However, we don’t have that at Audio Service; this would have required very specific sensors.
An app on the smartphone is supposed to simplify the operation, and we have found one for the G7 12 Mood R S 7 as well. In addition to basic functions like volume and programs, we find a few additional buttons for personalization. Problems when making calls with the smartphone are a thing of the past with this device. Phone calls, music, and other sounds are transmitted completely wirelessly to the hearing aids. Headphones thus become unnecessary. We tested the wireless transmission during longer phone calls as well as for listening to music while exercising. Everything worked simply and smoothly. Only a suitable smartphone with 2.4 GHz wireless technology is required.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 2,0

Simplicity & security
An important factor for the acceptance of a hearing aid is its practicality for everyday use. This includes, for example, automated functions as well as robustness and user-friendliness. The G7 12 Mood R S 7 features an extensive set of stored hearing situations. When a typical pattern is recognized, the hearing aid activates the correct setting completely automatically. We grant a significant plus point for the automatic acclimatization assistant. It gradually raises the initial volume in very small steps until my hearing goal is reached. This greatly facilitates the adjustment to the new sound.
Zinc-air batteries power the G7 12 Mood R S 7. The battery change could become quite cumbersome for people with limited dexterity or vision. If you have concerns about this, it is better to look for a rechargeable model.
The hearing aid has been rated to the IP protection class 68. This guarantees extensive protection against dust ingress. Water also cannot easily damage the hearing aid. This makes it well-equipped for outdoor activities where it may get wet and dirty. However, do not necessarily go swimming or bathing with the hearing aids. Bath additives or the salt content in seawater can alter the composition and potentially cause damage.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,0
Extras
At the end of our test report, there is still a little space for the extra features: Audio Service has integrated a sound generator that plays soothing sounds for those suffering from tinnitus. This can distract from the tinnitus and provide a bit more relaxation.
A real added value is the remote maintenance service. For a change in hearing aid settings, there is no longer a need to go to the specialist shop; instead, you can directly contact the audiologist via the app. Through a cloud service, you can then upload the new data package to the hearing aids. This is exactly what we expect from a modern hearing aid.
Many hearing aids still come with some health functions today. However, since the G7 12 Mood R S 7 does not have any special sensors for this, we cannot present any particular features here. The hearing aid does not offer additional functions like special assistance systems, a fall alarm, or a speech translator. This is not a big deal, as it does not affect the important hearing functions.
Rating Extras: 2,5
