The Hansaton jam XC Pro 7 R312 M in review
Once again, we focus on a hearing aid from the company Hansaton. This time it is a conventional behind-the-ear hearing aid named jam XC Pro 7 R312 M. It is a nice little hearing aid, and it falls into a higher price range. It can be used for both mild and more significant hearing needs. Let's take a look at what the inside has to offer:
Hearing comfort
A good speech understanding is standard in modern hearing aids. Equally important is the hearing comfort. Only when the ratio of speech transmission to the level of background noise is balanced will listening be perceived as pleasant. Therefore, let's take a look at the comfort features: The jam XC Pro 7 R312 M allows for solid comfort programming by the audiologist. Normal ambient noises such as street noise, vacuum cleaner sounds, or those from the fan are to be dampened by classic noise suppression. This Hansaton hearing aid includes a notable and well-functioning noise reduction.
Short, loud noises are quickly recognized and effectively reduced in the jam XC Pro 7 R312 M, thanks to an adjustable impulse sound attenuator. Here, the wind suppression is very solid and satisfies us in everyday life. The spatial hearing works very reliably. Directional hearing is supported, and the spatial impression is good. 16 adjustable equalizer bands provide enough room to generate a reliable, tailored listening experience.
In this version, Hansaton does not yet employ artificial intelligence.
Rating Hearing comfort: 2,5

Operation & connectivity
Almost everyone of us owns a smartphone, so the question arises whether it can be connected to the new hearing aid. Let's take a look at the connectivity and usability of the jam XC Pro 7 R312 M. First, we discovered a button directly on the hearing aid. This is very useful, as it is the easiest and quickest way to make changes. The volume can be adjusted with it, and different hearing programs can also be activated. If someone prefers not to adjust anything directly on the ear, the button can of course be disabled. Those who are not keen on touching their ear to increase the volume will appreciate the optional remote control. This allows for convenient and discreet adjustments to the hearing aid.
For some time now, there has been a trend to adjust hearing aids louder or quieter using voice commands. The idea is really good, but Hansaton has not yet implemented it in this device. Don’t worry, this feature would be nice but is not essential. Some hearing aids can also be controlled with a quick tap of the finger without having to press a button. However, this feature has not yet been implemented here.
In the App Store, we also find a suitable application from Hansaton. The app for the jam XC Pro 7 R312 M is not one of our highlights, but it has everything you need for your hearing systems. For our digital everyday life, a streaming option would be nice. The current device meets our wish and comes with a 2.4 GHz radio module. This allows phone calls and sounds to be sent directly from the smartphone to the hearing aids.

Simplicity & security
Now let's take a look at how usage is shaped in everyday life. Is the handling easy? Do I get a safe device? The automatic situation detection played a significant role in our test. The better it works, the easier our hearing gets through the day. The jam XC Pro 7 R312 M performs excellently here and adapts to many situations. Very important in terms of simplicity is the support during the adjustment period. Especially after having heard poorly for years, it can sometimes be difficult to perceive everything at a natural volume. Our test device features an acclimatization manager that helps us with very small volume adjustments throughout the adjustment phase. After a few weeks or months, we reach the calculated amplification level.
The jam XC Pro 7 R312 M is not equipped with a rechargeable battery, so it cannot be charged. It is powered by a hearing aid battery size 312. It needs to be replaced every few days.
The hearing aid has been classified in protection class IP 68. This guarantees comprehensive protection against dust ingress. Water cannot easily harm the hearing aid either. Thus, it is well-equipped for outdoor activities where it may get wet and dirty. However, do not go swimming or bathing with the hearing aids. Bath additives or the salt content in seawater can alter the composition and ultimately cause damage.

Extras
Before we come to the end, let's take a look at the extras: Hansaton has integrated a sound generator that plays some soothing sounds for those suffering from tinnitus. This can help distract from the tinnitus and provide a bit more relaxation.
A very good additional benefit is the remote maintenance service. Through the app, one can contact their hearing specialist and describe their hearing problem. The specialist can then adjust the settings accordingly and load them into the hearing aids via the app. For people with little time or a long journey, this is a great service.
If Hansaton had integrated motion sensors into this hearing aid, individual health tracking could even be carried out. However, this is not the case here. These points are lost in the evaluation of the jam XC Pro 7 R312 M. Other hearing aids already offer some extended options, such as a fall alert or reminder functions. We do not find that here, and that is not so dramatic, because the normal hearing functions are still the most important.
Rating Extras: 2,5
