The Audio Service G7 16 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
Audio Service presents the G7 16 Mood R Li T 7, a model from the highest quality segment. It can compensate for both mild and more severe hearing needs. It is a small hearing aid that delivers good sound quality thanks to the comfortable position of the speaker in the ear canal. It is worn behind the ear.
Hearing comfort
What is most bothersome for hearing aid users? Exactly, background noise. That's why we first look at the comfort features included in the test device. With the G7 16 Mood R Li T 7, the manufacturer provides customers with comprehensive noise management. Normal background noise suppression is definitely present. It is designed to dampen constant sounds such as traffic noise or the hum of the air conditioning. In our test device from Audio Service, Audio Service has implemented effective noise reduction. It operates at a high performance level and offers the user very good comfort.
The noise filter in this hearing aid is quite solid and suitable for everyday use. The wind suppression here is very solid and satisfies us in daily life. With 20 channels, the frequency band count in the G7 16 Mood R Li T 7 is very high. This allows the hearing aid to be perfectly adjusted to each individual's hearing and also provides good long-term tuning options. Normal-hearing individuals typically don't think about spatial hearing. With this hearing aid, we don’t have to either. A sophisticated system of directional microphones and binaural wireless networking generates a 3D effect that closely resembles natural hearing.
Strategies based on artificial intelligence are not yet in use in this hearing aid from Audio Service.

Operation & connectivity
Everyone has their own unique hearing needs. It is therefore advantageous to be able to personalize hearing aids beyond the automatic functions. In our test, we discovered the following access options: There is a button directly on the hearing aid. This allows you to adjust the volume or activate additional listening programs. It can be programmed entirely to the customer's preference. Of course, using it is optional. A discreet way to change the hearing aid is with the remote control. It fits in any pocket. If the person you're talking to speaks too quietly 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.
In our test, we did not find a way to control it by voice. While this function is not necessarily needed, we would have appreciated it nonetheless. If there are sensors in the hearing aid, tap control could be conceivable, which would trigger a specific function by tapping the ear with your fingers. However, this option is not available in the G7 16 Mood R Li T 7.
It is very convenient to adjust the hearing aids via the app. There is also a free app for the G7 16 Mood R Li T 7. In our opinion, the range of functions is average but usually sufficient. It is best to try it out in demo mode beforehand. One of the best features in the hearing aid is the direct streaming function. This turns the hearing aid into a TrueWireless headphone, receiving phone calls and other sounds directly in the ear. The prerequisite is a compatible smartphone that includes 2.4 GHz technology. The biggest advantage is that phone calls can be heard not only in one ear but in both. Additionally, the sound can be tailored to personal preferences.

Simplicity & security
How does one cope with a hearing aid in everyday life? This is the next aspect we need to evaluate. Because only if such a device works simply and easily can one really get used to it. With an exceptionally well-functioning situational automatic, the G7 16 Mood R Li T 7 excels in everyday performance. The finely tuned recognition of the acoustic environment allows us to effortlessly navigate through different hearing situations without having to adjust manually. This is exactly what we want from a hearing aid. The integrated acclimatization manager can be of great help when entering the world of hearing aids. Its task is to gradually increase the volume of the hearing aid in very small steps until the target volume is reached. This way, you can adapt to the new auditory impressions in a relaxed and gradual manner. More information on acclimatization and other hearing aids with this feature can be found here: Acclimatization to Hearing Aids.
The G7 16 Mood R Li T 7 is equipped with a battery. We find this very good, as rechargeable hearing aids are absolutely up-to-date. There's no need to have batteries lying around everywhere or to change the battery in the middle of a concert. The hearing aid simply plugs into the charging station overnight and has enough energy for the following day.
The hearing aid has been classified in protection class IP68. This guarantees comprehensive protection against dust ingress. Water also cannot easily harm the hearing aid. Thus, it is well-equipped for outdoor activities where it may get wet and dirty. However, you should not necessarily bathe or swim with the hearing aids. Bath additives or the salt content in seawater can alter the composition and potentially cause damage.

Extras
Finally, let's take a quick look at whether there are any extras: 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.
A clever tool is the integrated remote maintenance service. Almost everyone has a smartphone, and time is a precious commodity. Therefore, such a remote maintenance service is absolutely appropriate. Those who need a new programming for their hearing aids can easily contact the audiologist via the app and describe their hearing wishes. Through a cloud service, the professional can then send a customized setting as a data package to the app. From there, it is loaded onto the hearing aid and can be tested immediately. This definitely deserves extra points in our test.
There are no sensors in this G7 16 variant, so the popular health tracking cannot be offered. For example, steps are counted throughout the day. As mentioned - this hearing aid does not have this function on board. It also forgoes additional features such as 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
