The Audio Service G8 8 Mood R LI T 8 in review
We are once again in the test laboratory, and this time we had a product from Audio Service in our hands or rather at our ears. The full product name is G8 8 Mood R LI T 8, and it is classified among the higher mid-range devices. By accommodating the speaker directly in the ear canal, it has good acoustic properties. The G8 8 Mood R LI T 8 is worn behind the ear, and it is a discreet hearing aid for moderate, stronger, and changing hearing losses.
Hearing comfort
Right from the beginning, we address the topic of hearing comfort. By this, we mean all the features that ensure a wholly pleasant, rich, and disturbance-free sound. In the G8 8 Mood R LI T 8, the manufacturer provides customers with comprehensive noise management.
The classic noise suppression is, of course, also present here. Its task is to recognize and slightly reduce simple sounds from the environment. In this audio service model, the noise suppression works rather average, but is somewhat customizable. Impulsive noises are identified and reliably cushioned. This is noticeable, for example, with typical kitchen noises, or also with the rustling of paper or keyboard clattering.
For windy situations outdoors, Audio Service has provided wind noise reduction. This is quite useful and is simply part of a contemporary comfort feature. Spatial hearing may be a bit challenging at first, but once you understand how the microphones behave in certain situations, you can reasonably estimate directions and distances. 16 adjustable equalizer bands offer enough room to generate a reliable, tailored listening experience. If the hearing comfort is ever insufficient, you can make further personal adjustments in the app. There is a special mode that uses artificial intelligence. This allows for countless real sound data to be used to help you effectively and purposefully.
Rating Hearing comfort: 2,3
Operation & connectivity
Digital hearing aids have long evolved beyond the normal amplification function. Apps and other control options significantly expand the range of functions, which is why we also look at this important topic with the G8 8 Mood R LI T 8 from Audio Service. A very quick way to adjust the volume is the small button on the device. It is easy to feel, and you can increase or decrease the volume in several steps. Additional programs for specific hearing situations can also be activated with it. If you want to do without the button, you can simply have it deactivated. We do enjoy the small remote controls, and we have found one for this model. This allows for discreet adjustments to the volume or sound. We do not yet find the modern form of voice command operation in the G8 8 Mood R LI T 8. Tap Control would have also been an interesting feature. With that, you could change the function with a quick tap on the ear. But this is not yet available in the G8 8 Mood R LI T 8. The app is definitely very useful. Anyone with a smartphone should download it. Even though the app is not one of our favorites, it is still a useful addition to the G8 8 Mood R LI T 8. Problems with making phone calls on the smartphone are a thing of the past with this device. Calls, music, and other sounds are completely transmitted wirelessly to the hearing aids. Headphones become unnecessary. We tested the wireless transmission during longer phone calls and while listening to music during sports. Everything worked simply and smoothly. Only a compatible smartphone with 2.4 GHz radio technology is needed.

Simplicity & security
In the next step, we want to address the issue of user-friendliness. Is the G8 8 Mood R LI T 8 easy to handle? Is it weatherproof? Do you have to do a lot to get by with it? Here are our answers: Typical listening situations that everyone experiences in their environment are reliably detected and adjusted through automatic settings. However, for more specific, recurring needs, one cannot avoid using the manual hearing programs. We are very pleased with the integrated acclimatization manager. It gradually increases the volume of the hearing device in tiny steps until our target amplification is eventually reached. We can relax and gradually get used to the new hearing impressions.
The G8 8 Mood R LI T 8 is rechargeable and no longer requires hearing aid batteries. This is environmentally friendly, as there are no old 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 at night and are ready for use the next morning.
We had a carefree daily life in our test due to the IP-68 certification. This indicates that the hearing aid is particularly well protected against dust and water. We marched through the rain and afterwards took out the hearing aids with wet hands - no problem at all. However, the water resistance really only applies to fresh, natural water and not to foamy bathwater or saltwater.

Extras
Before we come to the end, let's take a look at the extras: Audio Service has integrated a noise generator that plays soothing sounds for those suffering from tinnitus. This can distract from the tinnitus and provide a bit more relaxation.
You get a very good additional benefit from the remote maintenance service. Through the app, you can contact your hearing care professional and describe your hearing problem. They can adjust the settings accordingly and upload them to the hearing aids via the app. For people with little time or a long commute, this is a great service.
Sensors in the hearing aid enable functions that offer real added value. This model from Audio Service contains such sensors and, for example, counts your steps throughout the day. The data can then be viewed in the app. It is quite possible that further tracking functions will be added through subsequent updates. This Audio Service hearing aid does not have any additional lifestyle options onboard. Elsewhere, there are voice assistants or reminder functions, but you don't need that for good hearing. It would have just made the product a bit cooler.
Rating Extras: 1,8
