The Beltone Serene 9 62S-DRWC in review
What hearing comfort does the Serene 9 62S-DRWC provide? How is it operated? Is it worth purchasing? Answers to these questions can be found in our review of this hearing aid from Beltone. First, the basics: It is worn behind the ear, and due to the comfortable position of the speaker in the ear canal, the sound can easily travel towards the eardrum. This is important, as this is the only way to produce really good, broadband sound.
The Serene 9 62S-DRWC is a truly small hearing aid of excellent quality that can cover mild, moderate, and also significant hearing needs. Read more details:
Hearing comfort
What is most bothersome for hearing aid users? Exactly, the background noises. Therefore, we will first look at which comfort features the test device includes. The Serene 9 62S-DRWC provides customers with comprehensive noise management. Normal noise suppression is definitely present. It is intended to dampen constant noises like street noise or the hum of the air conditioning. Our test device from Beltone offers quite respectable noise suppression. Even when it gets louder, the listening experience remains pleasant.
We are pleased to find good and efficient impulse sound damping here. This is definitely useful in everyday life, as it noticeably absorbs slamming doors, clattering dishes, or similarly clattering noises. We rate the wind management as mediocre, but it works. With 14 frequency bands, you can already achieve a pretty good sound. A passionate musician may not be completely satisfied, but for normal hearing and sound needs, this number is more than sufficient. Directional hearing often requires a bit of support for hearing aid users. The Serene 9 62S-DRWC provides this support confidently and enables good spatial orientation.
Signal processing is based, among other things, on typical frequency patterns of speech and noise, but artificial intelligence is not yet in use here.
Rating Hearing comfort: 2,1
Operation & connectivity
The operation options for hearing aids today are as simple or as complex as anyone may want them to be. The basic functions operate completely automatically, of course. We wanted to know how a user can additionally access the Serene 9 62S-DRWC. First, we discovered a button directly on the hearing aid. This is very sensible, as it is the simplest and quickest way to make a change. The volume can be adjusted with this, and various hearing programs can also be activated. If one prefers not to make adjustments directly at the ear, the button can, of course, be deactivated. A remote control for the hearing aid is available upon request. This allows the volume to be adjusted effortlessly. Not only is the handling child's play, but no one will notice that you are currently adjusting your hearing aids.
The modern method of operation via voice command is not yet found in the Serene 9 62S-DRWC. More and more functionalities are being integrated into hearing aids that are already familiar from other areas. Here in the Serene 9 62S-DRWC, it is the tap control. It is sufficient to briefly tap with your fingers or the flat of your hand on the ear shell, and then a command is triggered. This could be, for example, the start of a transmission from the TV adapter. Your hearing care professional will help you select the appropriate function.
Apps for hearing aids are now widespread. This one for the Serene 9 62S-DRWC has awakened our playful side. It is enjoyable to use this app, as it expands the functionality of the hearing aid with a few very useful tools. Problems when making phone calls with a smartphone are a thing of the past with this device. Phone 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 as well as for listening to music while exercising. Everything worked easily and smoothly. Only a compatible smartphone with 2.4 GHz wireless technology is required.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,1

Simplicity & security
Let's continue with the test: How does it fare in terms of user-friendliness? Is it easy or complicated to handle the hearing aid? With the Serene 9 62S-DRWC, we experienced an effective situational automation that supports our hearing well. This ensures that we do not constantly need to adjust something on the hearing aid. We give a big plus point for the automatic acclimatization assistant. It raises the starting volume in very small steps until my hearing goal is reached. This significantly eases the adjustment to the new sound.
A major relief in everyday life is the integrated battery. This means my Serene 9 62S-DRWC always has enough energy for the entire day, and I no longer have to worry about batteries suddenly running out in the middle of an event. Even with limited dexterity, a battery system is very helpful, as there is no need to insert small button cells.
With IP 68 certification, the hearing aid can withstand a variety of adverse influences. Dust cannot penetrate, it can withstand prolonged submersion in water, and it is also protected against contact.

Extras
Sometimes, it's the little things that make a hearing aid perfect. That's why we quickly take a look at the extras that might be included: Beltone has integrated a sound generator that plays some soothing sounds for those suffering from tinnitus. This can distract from the tinnitus and provide a bit more relaxation.
We find the remote adjustment feature really great. It's always very helpful when you want to make just a small change to the hearing aid settings but don't want to make a trip to the audiologist. Instead, you make contact via the app, and the hearing professional sends a customized data package back the same way.
A new trend in the hearing aid industry is integrated sensors that can track, for example, some personal health data. However, the Serene 9 62S-DRWC does not offer this. The device from Beltone focuses on essential hearing functions and does not provide extras like voice assistants or translation features. While that could have been fun, it is not necessary for a good listening experience.
Rating Extras: 2,5
