The Starkey Evolv AI 1000 PP 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.
Once again, we are looking at a hearing aid from the company Starkey. This time, it is a behind-the-ear hearing aid, known from earlier times, that is called Evolv AI 1000 PP HdO 13. It is a normally sized hearing aid, and in terms of price, it belongs to the low-budget category. It can be used for moderate to severe hearing losses. Let's take a look at what it has to offer inside:
Hearing comfort
The comfort features determine how pleasant listening experiences are perceived in everyday life. With this hearing aid, we found limited options for affecting comfort. A classic noise suppression is intended to reduce annoying background sounds to a tolerable level. We shouldn't expect too much from the Evolv AI 1000 PP HdO 13. Speech and sounds are quite close together here. However, in acoustically simple situations, this should be sufficient. We are happy that the Evolv AI 1000 PP HdO 13 includes wind reduction.
After all, the Evolv AI 1000 PP HdO 13 features a so-called bang filter. But is that always enough? We miss a natural spatial hearing with this device, which definitely causes some difficulties in everyday life. Directions can no longer be recognized as reliably. Those with limited vision should definitely consider another hearing aid. With 10 frequency bands, we are not entirely satisfied with the PP HdO 13, but for uncomplicated hearing curves, it should suffice. The sound is likely not entirely natural with this.
The signal processing of the Evolv AI 1000 PP HdO 13 also utilizes artificial intelligence. This allows for a much more realistic analysis of the listening environment, and especially the clarity in noisy environments is significantly better.
Rating Hearing comfort: 3,7
Operation & connectivity
How can you make the most of the potential of hearing aids in everyday life? We have discovered what access options are available with the Evolv AI 1000 PP BTE 13. The simplest operation is always a button directly on the hearing aid. This one has it too. It can be programmed according to your wishes. Do you want a manual volume control? No problem, the button allows for a gradual adjustment of the volume. Or do you need different special programs for your professional life or hobbies? These can also be activated via the button. Anyone who prefers to leave everything in automatic mode can simply ignore the button or even have it deactivated. Those who don't like to touch their ear to adjust the volume will appreciate the optional remote control. This allows for comfortable and discreet changes to the hearing aid.
Some hearing aids can already be controlled by voice, but this one from Starkey unfortunately cannot yet. It would be practical when fingers are not so nimble, or if one simply likes smart gadgets. We are really excited about the tap control. A quick tap on the ear with your fingers, and the hearing aid switches to a different mode. Here, Starkey is quite a bit ahead of competitors with its model. In our opinion, the tap control is not only contemporary but also very convenient.
An app on your smartphone is supposed to make operation easier, and we have found one for the Evolv AI 1000 PP BTE 13 as well. In addition to the basic functions like volume and programs, we find a few more buttons for personalization. One of the best features of the hearing aid is the direct streaming function. This turns the hearing aid into a TrueWireless headset, receiving phone calls and other sounds directly in the ear. The prerequisite is a compatible smartphone that contains the 2.4 GHz technology. The biggest advantage is that you can hear phone calls not only in one ear but in both. Additionally, the sound can be tailored to personal preferences.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,7

Simplicity & security
Usability is the next aspect we want to address. This is about everyday practicality and the question of how easy and safe it is to live with the hearing aid. Situational awareness makes life easier for us when it comes to hearing. In the Evolv AI 1000 PP BTE 13, this is not so sophisticated. This means that the hearing aid can indeed distinguish between quieter and louder environments and adjust accordingly. However, it does not compensate as well in challenging moments, such as when there are loud conversations in a strong noise background. 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 reached. This significantly eases the adjustment to the new sound.
The Evolv AI 1000 PP BTE 13 is not rechargeable. It operates with hearing aid batteries size 13. Disadvantage: The batteries are disposed of after use. Advantage: Daily recharging of batteries is eliminated, and the hearing aid runs continuously for several days on a single battery.
We also take a look at the robustness of the casing and discover the protection class IP 68 in the data sheet. This means that dust cannot penetrate, and water only becomes a danger after prolonged submersion. Protection against contact is also included.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,5
Extras
Everyone appreciates a few extra features, so let's see if we can find something here: The tinnitus program is definitely worth mentioning. Those plagued by annoying ear sounds will benefit from this. Pleasant, soft sounds are adjusted to gently surround the tinnitus. In the end, the tinnitus fades into the background noise and becomes hardly noticeable.
A clever tool is the integrated remote maintenance service. Almost everyone has a smartphone, and time is a precious commodity. Therefore, such a remote maintenance service is absolutely appropriate. If someone needs a new programming for their hearing aids, they can easily contact the audiologist through the app and describe their hearing preferences. Through a cloud service, the professional can then send a custom setting as a data package to the app. From there, it is loaded onto the hearing aid and can be tested immediately. This definitely deserves extra points in our test.
Special sensors in the Starkey Evolv AI 1000 PP HdO 13 provide new insights into your health status. For example, at the end of the day, you can check how many steps you've taken. By the way, you don't even need to have your smartphone with you while you're out. You just need to take a look at the app to read the data. In connection with a smartphone, the Evolv AI 1000 PP HdO 13 surprises us with a few nice lifestyle features. It's definitely worth getting thoroughly acquainted with the app and utilizing the offered assistance programs.
Rating Extras: 1,0
Conclusion: Starkey Evolv AI 1000 PP 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.
