The Starkey Evolv AI 1000 ITE R 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.
What hearing comfort does the Evolv AI 1000 ITE R offer? How is it operated? Is the purchase worthwhile? Answers to these questions can be found in our review of this hearing aid from Starkey. First, the basics: It is worn in the ear, and due to the somewhat visible but very comfortable wearing area directly in the ear, sound can easily travel towards the eardrum. This is important because only in this way can a truly good, wideband sound be produced.
The Evolv AI 1000 ITE R is a traditionally sized hearing aid from a good, mid-quality range that can cover both mild and more significant hearing needs. Read on for more details:
Hearing comfort
Hearing aids should not only bring speech to the ear but also sound pleasant. So let's first look at the comfort features. What types of noise does the hearing aid recognize? Are they suppressed or transmitted unchanged? Is the hearing aid suitable for an active daily life? Here with this test device, we found very few options for comfort adjustment. As with every hearing aid, typical noise cancellation is also included here. It is designed to reduce uniform, buzzing ambient sounds to the point where they no longer dominate. With the Evolv AI 1000 ITE R, we are not exactly spoiled, but we can live well with basic noise suppression.
Those who enjoy being outdoors will appreciate the wind noise reduction. It doesn’t suppress as much, but it is definitely useful. The impulse noise management is relatively simple; it dampens short loud noises a bit, which is okay. Let's briefly look at the equalizer: with 10 bands, it is not particularly flexible. With a few more channels, we would surely have achieved a nicer, more natural sound experience. But at least we can adjust the sound reasonably to our hearing perception. The microphone technology is rather basic. The hearing aids cannot create a true sense of space like those with normal hearing. When trying to gauge directions or distances through hearing, one must be cautious; this is reliable only after a certain period of adjustment, if at all.
Understanding speech in a noisy environment is always a challenge. Starkey addresses this issue by using artificial intelligence. The result is brilliant and clear speech transmission while the ambient sounds remain realistically loud to the ear.
Rating Hearing comfort: 3,7
Starkey Evolv AI 1000 ITE R:
Operation & connectivity
The majority of functions are automatically activated by this Starkey model. However, it can sometimes be very useful to expand the range of features a bit. In our tests, we discovered what options we have here. The simplest way to operate is always a button directly on the hearing aid. This model has one as well. It can be programmed according to your wishes. Do you want a manual volume control? No problem, the button allows for gradual volume adjustment. Or do you need different special programs for your professional daily life or hobbies? These can also be activated via the button. If you prefer to keep everything in automatic mode, you can simply ignore the button or even have it deactivated. A remote control for the hearing aid is available upon request. This allows you to adjust the volume effortlessly. The handling is not only child’s play; no one will notice that you are adjusting your hearing aids.
For some time now, there has been a trend to adjust hearing aids louder or softer using voice commands. The idea is really good, but Starkey is not quite there yet with this device. Don't worry, this feature would be nice, but it's not essential. We were quite impressed with the tap control during our tests. Just tap your ear briefly, and your Starkey hearing aid knows that it should do something. We were already familiar with this sensor-controlled technology from wireless headphones, and it's great that such a feature is now also available in hearing aids.
It's very convenient to adjust the hearing aids via the app. There is also a free app for the Evolv AI 1000 ITE R. In our opinion, the range of functions is average, but usually sufficient. It's best to try it out in demo mode first. We really enjoyed the direct wireless streaming. This means that calls from a smartphone can be transferred to the hearing aids without any additional accessories. This turns the hearing aid into the perfect hands-free device or wireless headphones. Listening to music or watching videos is also incredibly comfortable.

Simplicity & security
How does one manage daily life with a hearing aid? This is the next aspect we will evaluate. Because only if such a device operates simply and effortlessly can one become accustomed to it. We expected a bit more support in everyday hearing with the automatic situation recognition. The situations "Quiet" and "Noise" are recognized, but most of the time, the sound environment is a bit more complex. The integrated acclimatization manager can be a great help when starting out in the world of hearing aids. Its task is to gradually increase the volume of the hearing aid in tiny steps until the target volume is reached. This way, you can comfortably and gradually adjust to the new hearing impressions. We have summarized more information about acclimatization and other hearing aids with this feature here: Acclimatization to Hearing Aids.
A significant relief in daily life is the integrated battery. This means my Evolv AI 1000 ITE R always has enough energy for the entire day, and I no longer have to worry about the batteries suddenly running out in the middle of an event. Even with limited dexterity, a battery system is very helpful because it eliminates the need to insert small button cells.
Unfortunately, this hearing aid does not have special protection against entering dust or moisture; in any case, there is no certification that defines the robustness of the device. It may not be well-suited for an active daily life.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,8
Extras
Sometimes there are additional features in hearing aids that can be quite useful. Let's see how it is with this Starkey device: Here we noticed the tinnitus option. If desired, one can set up a special tinnitus program. This gently overlays a soft noise to distract from the annoying tinnitus. The sounds can be tailored to personal hearing preferences.
We find the remote support service exciting, which can be utilized. If one has no opportunity to visit the hearing care professional, they can instead contact them via the app, briefly describe their hearing problem, and then receive a data package with a new hearing aid configuration. If that sounds good, they can upload it to their hearing aids.
Do you sometimes use your smartphone to track your daily steps? This is now not only easier but also more accurate. The Evolv AI 1000 ITE R from Starkey has built-in sensors that make tracking very precise. Other health data can also be recorded – in our eyes, this is a real added value. Get even more out of the Evolv AI 1000 ITE R by utilizing the smart lifestyle features. They expand the action radius of the hearing aids with various assistance programs and significantly enhance the functionality.

Conclusion: Starkey Evolv AI 1000 ITE R
Im Gesamtergebnis landet dieses Testgerät auf den hinteren Plätzen und lässt einige Ausstattungsmerkmale vermissen. Wir vergeben die Note 3,57. Für anspruchsarme Hörer ist das in Ordnung, für einen sehr aktiven Lebensstil empfehlen wir allerdings ein Hörgerät mit umfangreicheren Komfortmerkmalen.
