Test report: Hansaton Beat FS 5 R T 312

The Hansaton Beat FS 5 R T 312 in review

What exactly can the Beat FS 5 R T 312 from the manufacturer Hansaton do? First of all, it is a hearing aid, as known from the past, that sits behind the ear. It covers almost every hearing need. This model is a fairly small hearing aid from the upper mid-range. What can it achieve in everyday hearing? What comfort features does it come with? We took a closer look at this.

Hearing comfort

First, we assess the hearing comfort features. What types of noises does the hearing aid recognize? How does it handle them? Is the hearing aid suitable for a diverse daily life? Here with this test device, the manufacturer provides the customer with a comprehensive noise management system. As in all hearing aids, we also find the typical background noise suppression here. It is designed to reduce monotonous, noisy ambient sounds to the point where they no longer dominate. In the Beat FS 5 R T 312, environmental noise is reliably detected but only moderately reduced.

Some hearing aids reach their limits when the wind sweeps over the microphones outside. It can get quite loud. But Hansaton has a good solution: a strongly dampening, adjustable wind noise suppression. This works very well and helps those who enjoy being outdoors. Impulse sound suppression is a very important element in the comfort features of a hearing aid. It dampens cracking, clattering sounds. In the Beat FS 5 R T 312, this damping occurs in multiple stages. This definitely scores some points. With 16 frequency channels, the Beat FS 5 R T 312 is clearly among the better devices and allows for individual, well-sounding programming. Adaptive microphone systems facilitate spatial hearing. However, one must get used to the new sound, especially at the beginning, when it is not always clear where a sound is coming from.

It is interesting to note that artificial intelligence also plays a role in signal processing here. The sound is analyzed not only based on typical frequency patterns. Particularly intense, noisy situations are therefore perceived as more realistic and pleasant.

Rating Hearing comfort: 2,0

Operation & connectivity

Digital hearing aids have long evolved beyond just the basic amplification function. Apps and other control options significantly expand their capabilities, which is why we also take a look at this important topic with the Beat FS 5 R T 312 from Hansaton. Usually, there is a button on the hearing aid, and we found one on the Beat FS 5 as well. It can be configured as a volume control or program selection button and can also be deactivated if desired. The small remote control, which is available as an option, is very practical. For us, this is one of the most convenient ways to adjust the hearing aid louder or softer or to switch to another hearing program. No one notices it, and reaching for the ear is unnecessary.

Voice control is a modern way of operating hearing aids. Hansaton has integrated this function into its model, saving us the hassle of feeling for a tiny button. More and more functionalities that are already known from other areas are being adopted into hearing aids. Here in the Beat FS 5 R T 312, it is the tap control. Simply tapping the ear shell with your fingers or the palm of your hand will trigger a command. This could be, for example, starting a transfer from a TV adapter. Your hearing care professional will help you find the right function.

The app is definitely very useful. Anyone who has a smartphone should download it. Even if the app is not one of our favorites, it is a helpful addition to the Beat FS 5 R T 312. For our digital everyday life, a streaming option would be great. The device at hand fulfills this wish and comes with a 2.4 GHz wireless module. This allows you to send phone calls and sounds directly from your smartphone to the hearing aids.

Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,2

Hansaton Beat FS 5 R T 312:

Simplicity & security

Our analysis also addresses the everyday practicality of hearing aids. This involves robustness, but also special comfort features that should make daily use as easy as possible. The Beat FS 5 R T 312 has a solid everyday automatic that is probably sufficient for a quieter life. However, for more complex hearing environments, we recommend the additional manual programs. Very important in terms of simplicity is the support during the acclimatization process. Especially after having heard poorly for years, it can sometimes be difficult to perceive everything at a realistic volume. In our test device, there is an acclimatization manager that helps us with very small volume adjustments throughout the adjustment phase. After a few weeks or months, we then reach the calculated amplification level.

We regret that the Beat FS 5 R T 312 does not have a rechargeable battery but is powered by hearing aid batteries size 312. This is not particularly problematic, but one should remember to carry spare batteries. On the other hand, this hearing aid does not need to be charged daily; it runs for a longer time with a single battery.

With an IP 68 certification, the hearing aid can withstand a variety of adverse influences. Dust cannot penetrate, it withstands longer immersion in water, and it is also protected against contact.

Rating Simplicity & security: 2,3

Extras

Before we conclude, let's take a look at the extras: A special tinnitus program can be programmed into the Beat FS 5 R T 312 upon request. This allows for stimulating, pleasant sounds to be generated that distract from the tinnitus when it is particularly strong. We find this very useful and gladly award extra points.

A very good additional benefit is provided by the remote maintenance service. Through the app, one can contact their audiologist and describe their hearing issue. The audiologist can then 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.

If Hansaton had integrated motion sensors into this hearing aid, it could even allow for individual health tracking. However, this is not the case here. These points are lost for the Beat FS 5 R T 312 in the evaluation. Other hearing aids already offer a few extended options such as a fall alarm or reminder functions. We don't find that here, and that's not too dramatic, as the normal hearing functions are still the most important.

Rating Extras: 2,5
