The Starkey Evolv AI 1000 HdO 13 in review
Diese Technik ist bereits etwas veraltet und wurde 2023 von der neuen Starkey Genesis AI-Generation abgelöst. Das Gerät erhält daher einen Abzug in der Gesamtnote.
Our testers have examined another hearing aid from the more budget-friendly category. Introducing: the Starkey Evolv AI 1000 BTE 13. Here we have a conventional hearing aid that is worn behind the ear. It can be used by anyone who wants to address a mild, moderate, or severe hearing loss. The Evolv AI 1000 BTE 13 is a discreet hearing aid. Is it worth buying this model? We will reveal the details.
Hearing comfort
A good understanding of speech is a given in modern hearing aids. Equally important is hearing comfort. Only when the ratio of speech transmission to the level of background noise is right, is hearing perceived as pleasant. That's why we take a look at the comfort features: In the Evolv AI 1000 RIC 13, we found few options for comfort adjustment. Normal ambient sounds such as street noise, vacuum cleaner noise, or the sound from a fan should be dampened by classic noise suppression. In this Starkey hearing aid, we have a fairly simple form of noise suppression that is likely sufficient for typical environments.
The impulse sound management is relatively straightforward; it dampens short, loud sounds a bit, which is acceptable. We are happy that the Evolv AI 1000 RIC 13 includes wind noise reduction. However, we miss natural spatial hearing with this device, which does present some difficulties in everyday life. We can no longer determine directions reliably. Those with limited vision should consider choosing a different hearing aid. With 10 frequency bands, we are not entirely satisfied with the RIC 13, but it should suffice for uncomplicated hearing profiles. The sound will likely not be entirely natural.
Artificial intelligence has also made its way into hearing aids, such as in the Evolv AI 1000 RIC 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: 3,7

Operation & connectivity
Everyone has their own unique hearing needs. It is beneficial to customize hearing aids beyond their automatic functions. In our test, we discovered the following access options: The simplest way to operate is always a button directly on the hearing aid. This one has it as well. It can be programmed to your liking. Do you want manual volume control? No problem, the button allows for step-by-step volume adjustment. Or do you need different special programs for your professional life or hobbies? These can also be activated with the button. If you prefer to leave everything in automatic mode, you can simply ignore the button or even have it disabled. Upon request, there is a remote control for the hearing aid. This makes it easy to adjust the volume. The handling is not only child’s play; no one will even notice that you are adjusting your hearing aids.
We are always pleased when a hearing aid surprises us with a great additional function. For example, we would have liked to see voice control here. However, there is currently none in the Evolv AI 1000 HdO 13. We are truly excited about the Tap control. A quick tap on the ear with your fingers, and the hearing aid switches to another mode. Here, Starkey is quite ahead of others with its model. In our view, Tap control is not only modern but also very convenient.
Manual operation includes an app. This allows for discreet access to the hearing aid. In addition to volume control, you can also adjust hearing programs and a few other functions. For our digital everyday life, a streaming option would be nice. The current device meets our desire and includes a 2.4 GHz radio module. This allows you to send calls and sounds directly from your smartphone to the hearing aids.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,7

Simplicity & security
Now let's take a look at how the usage is in everyday life. Is handling easy? Do I get a secure device? When listening, a situation recognition feature makes our lives easier. The Evolv AI 1000 BTE 13 is not quite as sophisticated in this regard. This means that the hearing aid can indeed distinguish between quieter and louder environments and adjusts accordingly. However, the challenging moments, such as loud conversations in a noisy background, are not compensated as well. Some people have difficulty getting used to it, but this hearing aid makes it easy for us to cope with the new volume. There is a familiarization manager that gradually introduces us to the required target amplification. The period can range from a few weeks to several months, and it can be adjusted individually. The individual levels are so small that you barely notice that there has been an increase in volume.
The Evolv AI 1000 BTE 13 is not rechargeable. It continues to receive its power from disposable size 13 batteries, which need to be replaced every few days.
We had a carefree everyday experience in our test thanks to the IP-68 certification. This means 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 bubbly bathwater or saltwater.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,5
Extras
Bevor wir zum Ende kommen, werfen wir noch einen Blick auf die Extras: Starkey hat einen Geräuschgenerator integriert, der für Tinnitus-Geplagte ein paar lindernde Klänge abspielt. Das kann vom Tinnitus ablenken und für etwas mehr Entspannung sorgen.
Die Möglichkeit zur Ferneinstellung finden wir richtig gut. Die ist immer dann sehr hilfreich, wenn man nur eine Kleinigkeit an der Hörgerät-Einstellung verändert haben möchte, aber nicht extra zum Hörakustiker fahren will. Den Kontakt nimmt man stattdessen über die App auf, und der Hörprofi schickt ein angepasstes Datenpaket auf dem gleichen Weg zurück.
Nutzen Sie manchmal Ihr Smartphone, um Ihre täglichen Schritte zu tracken? Das geht jetzt nicht nur einfacher, sondern auch genauer. Das Evolv AI 1000 HdO 13 von Starkey hat nämlich integrierte Sensoren, mit denen das Tracking sehr präzise klappt. Darüber lassen sich auch andere Gesundheitsdaten aufzeichnen - in unseren Augen ist das ein echter Mehrwert. Holen Sie noch mehr aus dem Evolv AI 1000 HdO 13, indem Sie die smarten Lifestyle-Funktionen nutzen. Sie erweitern den Aktionsradius der Hörgeräte um verschiedene Assistenzprogramme und werten den Funktionsumfang deutlich auf.
Rating Extras: 1,0
Conclusion: Starkey Evolv AI 1000 HdO 13
Im Gesamtergebnis landet dieses Testgerät auf den hinteren Plätzen und lässt einige Ausstattungsmerkmale vermissen. Wir vergeben die Note 3,51. Für anspruchsarme Hörer ist das in Ordnung, für einen sehr aktiven Lebensstil empfehlen wir allerdings ein Hörgerät mit umfangreicheren Komfortmerkmalen.
