The Starkey Evolv AI 2400 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.
What hearing comfort does the Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless provide? How is it operated? Is it worth the investment? You can find answers to these questions in our review of this hearing aid from Starkey. First, the basics: It is worn in the ear, and due to its precise placement directly in the ear canal, sound can effortlessly travel toward the eardrum. This is important, as it allows for a truly good, wideband sound to be produced.
The Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless is a small, barely visible hearing aid from the premium category that can cover mild, moderate, and even severe hearing losses. Read more details:
Hearing comfort
Good speech understanding 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: The Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless provides customers with comprehensive noise management. Normal background noises like street noise, the sound of a vacuum cleaner, or the noise from a fan should be dampened by classic noise suppression. In this Starkey hearing aid, the manufacturer has not held back and offers us a multi-stage, effective noise reduction.
Even in more affordable hearing aids, we often find attenuation for impulsive, clattering noises today. Unfortunately, this clever tool is missing here, which is a pity. We are impressed with how clearly the wind noise is suppressed and how stable the device operates even in stronger winds. When it comes to spatial hearing, the Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless demonstrates its full strength: Due to the deep positioning just before the eardrum, sound reception occurs like in an ear without a hearing aid. The outer ear naturally directs sound into the ear canal, and the existing head shadow effects are still utilized. Such good 3D hearing could probably not be artificially created. A brilliant listening experience is also based on the number of frequency bands. The more bands there are, and the narrower the individual frequency channels are, the better the hearing aid can be customized to individual preferences. Here, we get a total of 24 bands. This allows not only for a great sound impression but also for very careful speech and noise suppression.
Artificial intelligence is also utilized in the signal processing of the Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless. This results in a much more realistic analysis of the listening environment, and above all, clarity in noisy surroundings is significantly improved.

Starkey Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless:
Operation & connectivity
Most hearing aids automatically adapt to their environment. However, it is sometimes very practical to be able to make some changes yourself. After all, the hearing aid does not know how you are feeling at the moment. We looked at the operating options offered by the Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless: The simplest control option is always a button directly on the hearing aid. There is one here as well. It can be programmed according to your wishes. Do you want a manual volume control? No problem, the button allows for stepwise adjustment of the volume. Or do you need different special programs for your professional everyday life or your hobbies? These can also be activated via the button. Those who want to leave everything in automatic mode can simply ignore the button or even have it disabled. Those who do not like touching their ear to adjust the volume will appreciate the optional remote control. This allows for convenient and discreet adjustments to the hearing aid.
A sensible addition is the ability to control the Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless via voice command. This is something you may already know from your smartphone or the car navigation system, and it can also be very practical in a hearing aid. Tap Control would have been an interesting feature as well. With it, you could change the function with a quick tap on the ear. However, this feature is not available in the Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless yet.
Apps for hearing aids are now widespread. This one for the Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless has awakened our playful side. Using this app is fun as it expands the functionality of the hearing aid with some very useful tools. The Evolv AI 2400 comes with a 2.4 GHz antenna and allows us to enjoy binaural phone calls. This even gives us an advantage over normal-hearing individuals. We think that’s great and are happy to award points.

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. With an extraordinarily effective situational automation, the Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless excels in terms of everyday performance. The finely tuned detection of the acoustic environment allows us to effortlessly navigate through different listening situations without needing to manually adjust. That's exactly what we desire from a hearing aid.
We give a big plus point for the automatic acclimatization assistant. It gently increases 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 2400 CIC Wireless is not rechargeable. It is powered by hearing aid batteries size 312. Disadvantage: The batteries are disposed of after use. Advantage: Daily charging of batteries is not needed, the hearing aid runs continuously for several days on one battery.
The hearing aid has been classified under IP68. This guarantees comprehensive protection against the intrusion of dust. Water cannot easily harm the hearing aid either. Therefore, it is well-equipped for outdoor activities, where it may get wet and dirty. However, do not necessarily go swimming or bathing with the hearing aids. Bath additives or the salt content in seawater can alter the composition and may ultimately cause damage.
Rating Simplicity & security: 1,8
Extras
Am Ende unseres Testberichtes gibt es noch ein bisschen Platz für die Extra-Features: Ein spezielles Tinnitusprogramm ist im Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless auf Wunsch programmierbar. Damit können stimulierende, angenehme Geräusche generiert werden, die vom Tinnitus ablenken, wenn er mal wieder besonders stark ist. Das finden wir sehr nützlich und vergeben gerne Extrapunkte.
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.
Spezielle Sensoren im Starkey Evolv AI 2400 CIC Wireless bieten ganz neue Einblicke in Ihren Gesundheitszustand. So können Sie z.B. am Ende eines Tages schauen, wieviele Schritte Sie gegangen sind. Ihr Smartphone müssen Sie unterwegs übrigens nicht einmal dabei haben. Lediglich zum Auslesen der Daten müssen Sie einen Blick in die App werfen. Dann gibt es noch ein paar Lifestyle-Funktionen, die Ihr Hörgerät zu einem smarten Assistent machen. Lassen Sie sich mit Sprachassistenten wie Siri verbinden, oder entdecken Sie, was noch alles in der App steckt. Das hat zwar nicht mehr viel mit dem eigentlichen Hören zu tun, kann aber äußerst nützlich sein.
