The Phonak Audeo Paradise 90 13 T in review

Diese Technik ist bereits von der Phonak Lumity-Familie überholt und wird daher von uns mit einer Abwertung in der Gesamtnote bedacht. Unser Hörgerätevergleich verschafft Ihnen einen Überblick über aktuellere Geräte.

Could this hearing aid from the Phonak program be the right one for you? In our review of the Audeo Paradise 90 13 T, we have highlighted the key aspects. Here, we have a small premium hearing aid that is worn behind the ear. By placing the speaker directly in the ear canal, the foundation for good hearing success is laid, as the sound has only a very short distance to the eardrum. This ensures that all sounds arrive exactly where we want them to.

The Audeo Paradise 90 13 T provides sufficient amplification for mild to profound hearing losses.

Hearing comfort

What is most bothersome to hearing aid users: Exactly, background noise. That's why we first look at the comfort features of the test device. The Audeo Paradise 90 13 T provides customers with comprehensive noise management. A normal noise reduction is definitely present. It is designed to dampen constant sounds like traffic noise or the hum of an air conditioner. In our test device from Phonak, we find a really strong noise reduction that makes listening extremely pleasant.

Additionally, there is a very effective impulse noise filter that reduces all short, intense sounds as much as the user desires. The Audeo Paradise 90 13 T is equipped with an incredibly good wind detection system. Nothing stands in the way of a walk by the sea. With 20 channels, the frequency band count in the Audeo Paradise 90 13 T is very high. This allows the hearing aid to be perfectly adjusted to each individual's hearing and offers good long-term tuning options. Spatial hearing works very reliably. Directional hearing is supported, and the spatial impression is good.

Sometimes we experience hearing aids that successfully process data using artificial intelligence, but in this device, that is not yet the case.

Rating Hearing comfort: 1,8

Phonak Audeo Paradise 90 13 T:

Operation & connectivity

Almost everyone has a smartphone, which raises the question of whether it can be connected to the new hearing aid as well. Let's take a look at the connectivity and usability of the Audeo Paradise 90 13 T. There is a button directly on the hearing aid. This can be used to change the volume or activate additional listening programs. It can be programmed according to the customer's wishes. The use of this function is, of course, optional. Those who prefer not to touch their ear to adjust 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 of adjusting hearing aids via voice commands. The idea is really good, but Phonak hasn't reached that point with this device yet. Don’t worry, this feature would be nice but is not essential. If there are sensors in the hearing aid, a tap control could be possible, which would trigger a specific function by tapping the ear with the fingers. However, this option is not available in the Audeo Paradise 90 13 T.

Adjusting loudness or special functions via an app is already widespread today, and the Audeo Paradise 90 13 T follows this trend by providing us with an app. This app offers much more than just hearing aid functions and gives us a glimpse of what hearing aids could be used for in the future - besides just hearing well. The Audeo Paradise 90 comes with a 2.4 GHz antenna and allows us to enjoy binaural phone calls. This even gives us an advantage over people with normal hearing. We think that's great and are happy to give it points.

Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,6

Phonak Audeo Paradise 90 13 T:

Simplicity & security

Another point on our checklist is handling. Does everything work easily and reliably? What does the hearing aid offer to ensure safe use in everyday life? With top-notch situational recognition, Audeo Paradise 90 13 T has completely convinced us. The hearing aid seamlessly adapts to the acoustic environment and rarely requires our intervention. Hearing feels completely normal. 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 achieved. This significantly eases the adjustment to the new sound.

The Audeo Paradise 90 13 T is not rechargeable. It continues to get its energy from disposable batteries size 13, which need to be changed every few days.

The Audeo Paradise 90 is nearly dust and water-resistant and with its IP 68 rating, it is certainly well protected against external influences.

Rating Simplicity & security: 1,8

Extras

Everyone appreciates a few extra features, so let's see if we can find some here: A special tinnitus program can be programmed into the Audeo Paradise 90 13 T upon request. This allows for the generation of stimulating, pleasant sounds that distract from tinnitus when it is particularly bothersome. We find this very useful and gladly award extra points.

We find the remote maintenance service exciting, which can be utilized. If one has no opportunity to visit the hearing acoustician, they can contact them via the app, briefly describe their hearing problem, and then receive a data package with a new hearing aid configuration. If it sounds good, they can upload it to their hearing aids.

Some hearing aids can track certain health data. However, this requires special sensors in the hearing aid, which are unfortunately not present in the Audeo Paradise 90 13 T. The functionality of the Audeo Paradise 90 13 T is limited to normal hearing, which is perfectly fine. Additional features like fall alarms or Siri integrations provide considerable added value but are not relevant for good hearing balance.

Rating Extras: 2,5

Conclusion: Phonak Audeo Paradise 90 13 T

With an overall grade of 2.59, this model holds its ground in the mid-range. It comes with a fairly decent comfort package that is sufficient for typical everyday moments and creates a satisfactory listening experience.
