The Hansaton AQ Sound FS 7 R S in review
To create a hearing aid test report, we take a close look at the hearing aids and, if possible, wear them ourselves for a while. This time it was the AQ Sound FS 7 R S by Hansaton, a device at the highest quality level that can compensate for mild to profound hearing losses. The AQ Sound FS 7 R S is a discreet, small hearing aid that sits behind the ear. Due to the unobtrusive and simultaneously intelligent placement of the speaker in the ear canal, it already meets the basic requirements for a decent sound.
Hearing comfort
First, we evaluate the hearing comfort features. What types of noise does the hearing aid recognize? How does it handle them? Is the hearing aid suitable for a varied daily life? Here with this test device, the manufacturer provides the customer with comprehensive noise management. As in all hearing aids, we also find the typical noise suppression here. It aims to reduce monotonous, noisy background sounds to a level where they are no longer prominent. The AQ Sound FS 7 R S has quite respectable noise suppression. Even when things get louder, the listening experience remains pleasant.
Wind noise is always an issue when the hearing aid microphones are somewhat exposed. With the AQ Sound FS 7 R S, this is not a problem at all, as it has intelligent, effective wind noise suppression. It not only mitigates the audible turbulence but also preserves speech understanding. Cracking, metallic noises have no chance in this hearing aid; they are significantly reduced with a multi-stage tool. A brilliant listening experience is also based on the number of frequency bands. The more bands there are and the narrower the individual frequency channels, the better the hearing aid can be adjusted to individual preferences. Here we get 20 bands. This allows for not only an excellent sound impression but also very careful speech and noise suppression. Spatial hearing works very reliably. Directional hearing is supported, and the spatial impression is good.
One component in the signal processing of the AQ Sound FS 7 R S is artificial intelligence. The impact is positive, as many customers find conversations in noisy situations to be significantly more relaxed.
Rating Hearing comfort: 1,5
Operation & connectivity
Most hearing aids automatically adapt to their environment. However, it is sometimes very practical to be able to make adjustments yourself. After all, the hearing aid does not know how you are feeling at the moment. We looked at the operating options offered by the AQ Sound FS 7 R S: There is a button directly on the hearing aid. This allows you to change the volume or activate additional hearing programs. It can be programmed entirely according to the customer's wishes. Of course, using it is optional. Those who do not like to touch their ear to adjust the volume will appreciate the optional remote control. This allows you to make changes to the hearing aid comfortably and discreetly.
Voice control is a modern way of operating hearing aids. Hansaton has integrated this feature into its model, saving us the need to feel for a small button. We are particularly excited about the tap control. A quick tap on the ear, and the hearing aid switches to a different mode. Here, Hansaton is a significant step ahead of others with its model. In our view, the tap control is not only contemporary but also very convenient.
As is common today, we also find a smartphone app for the AQ Sound FS 7 R S. This app includes solid basic functions and adds a few goodies on top. Problems with phone calls using a smartphone are a thing of the past with this device. Phone calls, music, and other sounds are completely wirelessly transmitted 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 simply and smoothly. Only a suitable smartphone with 2.4 GHz wireless technology is required.

Simplicity & security
Now let's briefly discuss everyday practicality. Is the AQ Sound FS 7 R S user-friendly and easy to handle? Does it have water protection? Here are our findings: A reliable automatic situation detection gives the AQ Sound FS 7 R S important points in terms of simplicity. Most listening situations are well recognized, so manual adjustments are rarely necessary. Very important for simplicity is support during the acclimatization process. Especially after having heard poorly for years, it can sometimes be difficult to perceive everything at a natural volume. Our test device has an acclimatization manager that helps us with very small volume adjustments throughout the adaptation phase. After a few weeks or months, we then reach the calculated amplification level.
The AQ Sound FS 7 R S is powered by a battery. We find this very good because rechargeable hearing aids are absolutely up to date. You don't have to have batteries lying around everywhere, nor do you have to change the battery in the middle of a concert. The hearing aid is simply placed in the charging station overnight and has enough energy for the following day.
We had a carefree everyday 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 then 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 soapy bath water or saltwater.

Extras
Bevor wir zum Ende kommen, werfen wir noch einen Blick auf die Extras: Ein spezielles Tinnitusprogramm ist im AQ Sound FS 7 R S auf Wunsch programmierbar. Damit können stimulierende, angenehme Geräusche generiert werden, die vom Tinnitus ablenken, wenn er mal wieder besonders stark ist. Das finden wir sehr nützlich und vergeben gerne Extrapunkte.
Einen echten Mehrwert bietet der Fernwartungsdienst. Für eine Veränderung der Hörgeräteeinstellung muss man nicht mehr zwingend ins Fachgeschäft gehen, sondern kann direkt über die App Kontakt zum Akustiker aufnehmen. Über einen Cloud-Dienst kann man dann das neue Datenpaket in die Hörgeräte laden. Genau so etwas erwarten wir von einem zeitgemäßen Hörgerät.
Das Tracken von Gesundheitsdaten ist ein echter Mehrwert in modernen Hörgeräten. Für diesen Dienst fehlen diesem Hansaton-Modell allerdings die Sensoren. Dieses Hansaton-Hörgerät hat keine weiteren Lifestyle-Optionen an Bord. Anderswo gibt es Sprachassistenten oder Erinnerungsfunktionen, aber zum guten Hören braucht man das nicht. Es hätte das Produkt nur etwas cooler gemacht.
Rating Extras: 2,5
