Fit Conditions
Initial and Tuned Performance for the Atom Pro 2
We tested the Audien Atom Pro 2 in both Initial and Tuned configurations to see if adjustments changed the results. Toggle between conditions below to view how each fit measured in our lab.
In initial fit testing with a closed dome configuration, the Audien Atom Pro 2 achieved a normalized score of 3.3/5. Feedback handling was excellent at 5.0/5, providing stable amplification without whistling. Speech in quiet (2.3/5) and speech in noise (1.3/5) both fell below category averages, indicating limited speech clarity benefit in our standardized test scenarios. Own-voice comfort was mixed at 2.6/5. Music streaming was not functional in our testing, scoring 0.0/5.
What is HearAdvisor's Initial Fit?
The Initial Fit approximates the most likely settings and eartips for a typical moderate hearing loss. Results are measured across the same 72 acoustic scenes in our custom-built lab, then scored on a 5-star scale using an auditory model.
Lab Metrics
Audien Atom Pro 2 Score Breakdown
Our lab measures five performance areas for every hearing aid we test: speech in quiet, speech in noise, own-voice comfort, feedback control, and music quality. The card below shows where the Atom Pro 2 landed on each metric.
