The Hansaton Beat FS 5 R T 13 in review

Once again, we focus on a hearing aid from the company Hansaton. This time, it is a traditional behind-the-ear hearing aid called Beat FS 5 R T 13. It is a discreet, small hearing aid, and in terms of price, it falls into a good, mid-range quality level. It can be used for mild, moderate, and more severe hearing needs. Let's take a look at what the interior has to offer:

Hearing comfort

A good understanding of speech is a matter of course in modern hearing aids. Equally important is the hearing comfort. Only when the ratio of speech transmission to the level of background noise is correct will hearing be perceived as pleasant. Therefore, let's take a look at the comfort features: The Beat FS 5 R T 13 provides the customer with a comprehensive noise management system. Normal ambient sounds like street noise, vacuum cleaner sound, or fan noise should be dampened by classic noise suppression. This Hansaton hearing aid does this quite well. In a normal listening environment, it is certainly manageable.

Cracking, metallic noises stand no chance in this hearing aid; they are significantly attenuated with a multi-stage tool. Wind can greatly restrict hearing comfort outdoors when it sweeps across the microphones. However, the Beat FS 5 R T 13 has efficient wind noise suppression integrated. It works really well and will delight people who enjoy being outside. It can be adjusted in several levels to meet individual needs. The adjustable microphones help recognize certain directions and can also assist in noise cancellation, but the spatial sound was not very natural. The Beat FS 5 R T 13 is one of the good hearing aids, at least in terms of the number of frequency bands. With 16 bands, it is well-equipped for precise adaptation to personal sound preferences.

Artificial intelligence has also made its way into hearing aids, as seen here in the Beat FS 5 R T 13. This provides a lot more data to identify speech and noise. In our experience, the sound of hearing aids with AI is perceived as particularly precise and realistic.

Rating Hearing comfort: 2,0

Operation & connectivity

Would you like to be able to adjust something on your hearing aids yourself? We believe that having at least one or two control options can be quite useful. Let’s take a look at how this works with the Beat FS 5 R T 13. First, we discovered a button directly on the hearing aid. This is very practical, as it is the easiest and quickest way to make a change. The volume can be adjusted, and different hearing programs can be activated. If you prefer not to make adjustments directly on your ear, you can of course deactivate the button. The small remote control, which is available as an option, is very convenient. For us, it is one of the most comfortable ways to increase or decrease the volume or switch to another hearing program. No one notices, and there is no need to touch your ear.

Voice control of devices is widely used in other areas; now it is also available in hearing aids. The Beat FS 5 R T 13 can adjust the volume or switch to another hearing program with a short voice command. More and more functionalities are being integrated into hearing aids that are already familiar from other areas. Here in the Beat FS 5 R T 13, it is the Tap control. It is enough to briefly tap the ear shell with your fingers or your flat hand to trigger a command. For example, this could be the start of a transmission from the television adapter. Your hearing care professional will help you choose the appropriate function.

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 helpful addition to the Beat FS 5 R T 13. You no longer need headphones, as it has a wireless option and can transmit sounds from the smartphone directly to your ears—provided the smartphone is equipped with 2.4 GHz LE technology.

Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,2

Hansaton Beat FS 5 R T 13:

Simplicity & security

How does one get along with the hearing aid in everyday life? This is the next aspect we need to assess. Because only when such a device functions easily and without complications can one become accustomed to it. The Beat FS 5 R T 13 automatically accesses the most important hearing settings and thus facilitates daily use. However, those who experience frequently changing acoustic environments should have the manual additional programs configured. The adaptation to the new hearing sensation is supported by this device with a fully automatic acclimatization manager. It adjusts the amplification in barely perceptible steps until my hearing loss is completely balanced. I need to do nothing more than wear my hearing aids regularly.

Unfortunately, the Beat FS 5 R T 13 is not equipped with a battery, so regular size 13 batteries are required for operation.

With IP 68 certification, the hearing aid can withstand various adverse influences. Dust cannot penetrate, it withstands prolonged immersion in water, and it is also protected against contact.

Rating Simplicity & security: 2,3

Extras

Now we have looked at the most important features of the hearing aid. But before we come to the end, we want to know if there are any additional functions worth mentioning: The tinnitus program is certainly noteworthy. Those troubled by annoying ear noises will benefit from this. Pleasant, quiet sounds are adjusted to gently surround the tinnitus. In the end, the tinnitus fades into the background noise and is no longer bothersome at all.

Hansaton keeps up with the times and offers a future-oriented feature with the remote adjustment service. Working people with little time can contact their audiologist online and have their hearing aids reprogrammed. Also, hearing aid users who have a longer commute to the specialist store benefit from this special service.

This Beat FS 5 variant does not have sensors, so the popular health tracking cannot be offered. For instance, steps are counted throughout the day. As mentioned - this hearing aid does not have this function on board. It would have been nice to have a few lifestyle features, but they are not available in the Beat FS 5 R T 13. Other hearing aids may score with a language translator or fall alert, but here it remains within the usual scope of functions.

Rating Extras: 2,5
