The Starkey Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312 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.
Here we take a look at a hearing aid from the Business Class that is worn behind the ear. It is called Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312 and is made by the manufacturer Starkey. It can be used by all people who have moderate, stronger, and changing hearing losses and are looking for a sleek, small hearing aid. Due to the deep placement of the speaker in the ear canal, it has very good sound properties.
Hearing comfort
In the section on hearing comfort, we look at how a hearing aid manages all the background noise. Comfortable noise management significantly contributes to whether a user likes and regularly wears their hearing aids. With this Starkey device, the manufacturer provides the customer with comprehensive noise management. The regular noise suppression is designed to mitigate uniform, hissing background noises. In the Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312, the noise suppression is solid. There are hearing aids that have a significantly more effective reduction, but this one should be sufficient for normal needs.
Impulse-like noises are also detected and tolerably reduced by this device. We rate the wind management as mediocre here, but it works. Spatial hearing functions very reliably. Directional hearing is supported, and the spatial impression is good. For a precise, natural listening experience, the number of adjustable frequency bands is very important. With 20, this Starkey device is a true top model and allows for differentiated fine-tuning over several years.
By the way, you might find that you perceive the sound from this Starkey device as clearer and more natural, especially in noisy situations. This is probably due to the implemented artificial intelligence. The hearing aid has already been trained with millions of real sounds, leading to a significantly improved distinction between speech and noise.
Rating Hearing comfort: 2,3

Operation & connectivity
Most hearing aids automatically adapt to their surroundings. However, it is sometimes very practical to be able to make some adjustments yourself. After all, the hearing aid doesn't know how you are feeling at the moment. We have looked into the control options that the Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312 offers: Usually, there is a button on the hearing aid, and we found one on the Evolv AI 2000 as well. It can be configured as a volume control or program selection button and can also be disabled if desired. A remote control is available for the Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312. It is quite handy, fits in your pocket, and offers a volume option as well as various listening programs.
Voice control is an option for operation that is becoming increasingly popular. Starkey has recognized this as well and provides us with this function in its Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312. We believe this is the fastest way to adjust the volume or switch the hearing program. More and more functionalities are being incorporated into hearing aids that you are already familiar with from other areas. Here in the Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312, it is tap control. It is enough to briefly tap the outer ear with your fingers or the palm of your hand, and a command will be triggered. This could be, for example, the start of a transmission from the TV adapter. Your audiologist will help you select the appropriate function.
Hearing aid apps are becoming increasingly popular. With the Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312, we are lucky: there is a suitable app. This app has completely impressed us. Not only does it offer numerous options to customize the hearing aids to personal preferences, but the app also includes plenty of lifestyle features. For our digital everyday life, a streaming option would be great. The device at hand fulfills our wish and comes with a 2.4 GHz radio module. This allows you to send phone calls and sounds directly from your smartphone to the hearing aids.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,0

Simplicity & security
We are also interested in how quickly one can get used to the Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312 and how easy daily use is. The Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312 features an extensive set of saved hearing situations. When a typical pattern is recognized, the hearing aid automatically activates the correct setting. We are very pleased with the integrated acclimatization manager. It gradually increases the volume of the hearing aid in tiny steps until our target amplification is eventually reached. This allows us to relax and slowly get used to the new auditory experiences.
Unfortunately, the Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312 is not equipped with a battery, so regular size 312 batteries are needed for operation.
With an IP 68 certification, the hearing aid can withstand various adverse effects. Dust cannot penetrate, it endures longer submersion in water, and it is also protected against touch.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,0
Extras
Finally, let's take a quick look at whether there are any extras: A special tinnitus program can be programmed into the Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312 upon request. This allows for the generation of stimulating, pleasant sounds that distract from tinnitus when it is particularly strong. We find this very useful and are happy to award extra points.
A clever tool is the integrated remote support service. Almost everyone has a smartphone, and time is a precious commodity. Therefore, such a remote support service is absolutely appropriate. Those who need a new programming for their hearing aids can easily contact the audiologist via the app and describe their hearing preferences. Through a cloud service, the professional can then send an individual 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.
Personal health is an important topic, which is why Starkey provides its customers with a great feature: health tracking. This logs, for example, physical activity over a period of time. Sensors capture this data and subsequently present it visually in the associated app. We particularly liked the additional features that are included in the Evolv AI 2000 mRIC 312. Various assistants support your daily life beyond hearing and can be configured in the app. Such hearing aids are hard to give up. By the way: These lifestyle features are often still being worked on, so they may change depending on updates.
Rating Extras: 1,0
