The Audio Service G8 16 Mood R LI T 8 in review
In this test report, we look at the G8 16 Mood R LI T 8. It was developed by Audio Service and covers moderate, severe, and changing hearing losses. This variant is worn behind the ear. The G8 16 Mood R LI T 8 is a small hearing aid from the upper segment of the hearing aid prices. We achieve clean sound transmission through the speaker position in the ear canal, close to the eardrum.
Hearing comfort
At least as important as speech understanding is listening comfort. After all, our surroundings should sound as realistic and pleasant as possible. So let's take a look at the noise management: With this model, which Audio Service offers here, we were impressed by the excellent noise management. Of course, noise suppression is integrated to mitigate distracting background noises. In the G8 16 Mood R LI T 8, the manufacturer has provided its most powerful algorithm. The noise reduction can be configured in multiple stages and delivers a noticeably significant reduction at maximum level. A multi-level wind noise management system is also included. This ensures that listening outdoors is pleasant and free of disturbances.
Quickly occurring, clattering noises are noticeably and sufficiently dampened, which we find pleasant. Normally, one doesn'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 creates a 3D effect that closely resembles natural hearing. The number of frequency bands is very important for good speech-noise discrimination. With 20 frequency bands, this hearing aid is among the best and offers excellent adjustment options.
For challenging listening situations, Audio Service has a special strategy: In the app, you will find an assistive function that allows for spontaneous and tailored changes based on artificial intelligence. This serves as an intelligent immediate assistance in case you are not near your audiologist.
Rating Hearing comfort: 1,3
Operation & connectivity
Every person has their own unique hearing needs. It is beneficial to be able to personalize hearing aids beyond their automatic functions. In our test, we discovered the following access options: First, we found a button directly on the hearing aid. This is very practical, as it is the simplest and quickest way to make adjustments. The volume can be adjusted through this button, and different hearing programs can also be activated. If someone prefers not to make adjustments directly at the ear, they can of course disable the button. A remote control is available for the G8 16 Mood R LI T 8. It is quite handy, fits in your pocket, and offers a volume option as well as different hearing programs.
For some time now, there has been a trend to adjust hearing aids louder or quieter using voice commands. The idea is really good, but Audio Service is not there yet with this device. Don't worry, this feature would be nice, but it is not essential. In addition to buttons or remote controls, some hearing aids also have a tap control. This means you can simply tap your ear briefly, and the device will switch. However, we do not have this at Audio Service; it would require specific sensors.
The operation of the G8 16 Mood R LI T 8 is relatively simple via the associated app. It comes with a lot of additional features and has impressed us quite a bit. We particularly enjoyed using the equalizer during the test. As a person with normal hearing, one almost feels envious, as such features are not yet found in wireless headphones. We had a lot of fun with the direct, wireless streaming. This means calls from a smartphone are transmitted to the hearing aids without any additional equipment. This turns the hearing aid into a perfect hands-free system or wireless headphone. Listening to music or watching and hearing videos is incredibly comfortable.

Simplicity & security
We continue with the test by providing a brief assessment of how easy everyday use will be. Is it complicated? Do I need to be particularly careful? Or do I not have to pay attention to anything else? Ideally, the hearing aid would operate largely independently. The performance of the G8 16 Mood R LI T 8 is exceptionally good in this regard. A lot of typical hearing situations are stored, which the device autonomously recognizes and always generates the appropriate setting. Very important in terms of simplicity is the support during the acclimatization process. Especially after years of hearing poorly, it can sometimes be difficult to perceive everything at a realistic volume. Our test device features an acclimatization manager that aids us with very slight volume adjustments throughout the adaptation phase. After several weeks or months, we then reach the calculated amplification level.
The G8 16 Mood R LI T 8 is rechargeable and no longer requires any hearing aid batteries. This is environmentally friendly as there are no used batteries to dispose of. At the same time, it is also extremely convenient, as no spare batteries need to be carried. The hearing aids simply go into the charging station in the evening and are ready for use the next morning.
The data sheet certifies the Audio Service device with an IP protection class of 68. This makes it one of the most robust hearing aids on the market. Dust stands no chance, and water does not penetrate the housing unless submerged deeper than 1.5 meters. Nevertheless, be cautious. Shampoo, for example, alters the surface tension of water. You should also avoid saltwater. In everyday life, however, you can behave completely carefree.

Extras
We are almost at the end, but perhaps this device still has a few gifts in the form of extra features? Let's take a look: Worth mentioning is the tinnitus program. Those plagued by annoying ear noises will benefit from it. Pleasant, quiet sounds are set to gently surround the tinnitus. In the end, the tinnitus blends into the background noise and no longer stands out as disturbing.
The option for remote adjustment is something we really like. It is very helpful whenever you want to make just a small change to the hearing aid settings but don't want to drive to the audiologist. Instead, you make contact through the app, and the hearing professional sends back a customized data package in the same way.
Sensors in the hearing aid enable functions that offer real added value. This model from Audio Service contains such sensors and counts your steps throughout the day, for example. The data can then be viewed in the app. It is quite possible that further tracking functions will be added through subsequent updates. The functionality of the G8 16 Mood R LI T 8 is limited to normal hearing, which is perfectly fine. Additional functions such as fall alarms or Siri connections provide a decent added value but are not relevant for good hearing balance.
Rating Extras: 1,8
Conclusion: Audio Service G8 16 Mood R LI T 8
Our conclusion for this hearing aid is very positive: Here we get a small technological marvel that has impressed us in every way. Both the listening comfort and the features for everyday use leave nothing to be desired. We are happy to award an overall grade of 1.26 and are confident that this device provides a great listening experience.
