The Starkey Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless in review
Starkey hat mit der Genesis AI-Familie eine beeindruckende, neue Chip-Technologie auf den Markt gebracht. Da diese Technik damit als überholt gilt, nehmen wir eine allgemeine Abwertung vor. Die Einzelbewertungen in den Unterkategorien bleiben erhalten.
Starkey introduces the Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless, a model from the Advanced Class. It can compensate for mild to profound hearing loss. It is a very small hearing aid that delivers good sound due to its precise placement directly in the ear canal. It is worn in the ear.
Hearing comfort
First, we looked at the comfort features. The better these are, the easier and more pleasant the hearing experience becomes. For this hearing aid, a solid comfort programming by the audiologist is possible. The traditional noise reduction ensures that uniform, unimportant sounds are slightly lowered. We would rate the noise reduction of the Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless as mediocre. It is sufficient if you do not live in a very noisy environment. For windy situations outdoors, Starkey has provided a wind noise reduction feature. This is quite useful and is simply part of a modern comfort setup.
A impulse sound damper is unfortunately not included in the Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless. Hearing aids like the Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless maintain the natural spatial perception we have experienced since childhood. The function of the ear shell, head size, head shadow effects - all these parameters create a true, original 3D hearing experience. The number of frequency bands is very important for good speech and noise distinction. With 20 frequency bands, this hearing aid is among the best and offers excellent adjustment options.
Artificial intelligence has also made its way into hearing aids, such as here in the Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless. This provides much 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: 2,7

Operation & connectivity
How can one fully utilize the potential of hearing aids in everyday life? We have found out what access options are available with the Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless. There is a button directly on the hearing aid. This can be used to change the volume or activate additional hearing programs. It can be programmed according to customer preferences. The use is of course optional. Those who are not comfortable touching their ear to adjust the volume will appreciate the optional remote control. This allows for convenient and discreet changes to the hearing aid.
Voice control for devices is widespread in other areas, and now it's also available for hearing aids. The Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless can adjust the volume or switch to another hearing program with a simple voice command. Another option for controlling the hearing aids is tap control. To do this, you simply tap your fingers on your ear, which triggers a specific function. However, this feature is not available in this Starkey device.
Apps for hearing aids are now common. This one for the Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless has sparked our playful side. It is fun to use this app, as it expands the functionality of the hearing aid with a few very useful tools. A streaming option would not be bad for our digital everyday life. This device fulfills our wish and comes with a 2.4 GHz wireless module, allowing phone calls and sounds to be sent directly from the smartphone to the hearing aids.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,3

Simplicity & security
Now let's take a look at how the usage in everyday life is. Is the handling easy? Do I receive a safe device? A well-functioning situational awareness already creates a lot of relaxation in everyday hearing. One does not have to constantly adjust the device and can easily surrender to the automated adjustments. The acclimatization to the new hearing sensation is supported by a fully automatic acclimatization manager. It adjusts the amplification in barely noticeable steps until my hearing loss is completely compensated. I have to do nothing more than wear my hearing aids regularly.
The Evolv AI 2000 CIC Wireless gets its energy from small disposable batteries that need to be changed every few days. While this is not rocket science, it should be considered, especially for individuals with motor problems. A rechargeable battery would be much easier to handle.
With an IP 68 certification, the hearing aid can withstand various adverse conditions. Dust cannot penetrate, it can withstand prolonged immersion in water, and it is also protected against contact.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,0
Extras
At the end of our test report, there is a little space left for the extra features: Here we noticed the tinnitus option. If you wish, you can have a special tinnitus program set up. This gently applies a soft noise to your ears as needed, to help distract from the annoying tinnitus. The sounds can be tailored to your personal hearing preference.
We find the remote support service to be exciting, which you can take advantage of. If you do not have the opportunity to visit the audiologist, you can contact them via the app, briefly describe your hearing problem, and then receive a data package with a new hearing aid configuration. If it sounds good, you can upload it to your hearing aids.
Sensors in the hearing aid enable functions that provide real added value. This model from Starkey includes such sensors and counts your steps throughout the day, for example. The data can then be viewed in the app. It is quite possible that subsequent updates will introduce even more tracking functions. This Starkey device also includes a few small highlights. Depending on what your smartphone supports, you can be reminded of appointments, access Siri, or use other assistance systems. This definitely earns an extra point.
