Lab Assessment
Our Verdict on the Audien Atom Pro 2
The verdict card below presents our overall grade and SoundScore for the Audien Atom Pro 2. These ratings reflect combined performance across all five measured dimensions in our independent testing protocol.
The Audien Atom Pro 2 is a budget-priced OTC aid with excellent feedback control but significantly limited speech clarity for most listening situations.
- Excellent feedback handling5.0/5
- Budget-friendly price point at $289
- Rechargeable batteries included
- Low speech clarity in quiet0.7/5
- Poor speech in noise performance0.5/5
- No music streaming capability0.0/5
Fit Conditions
Audien Atom Pro 2 Performance by Fit
We measured the Audien Atom Pro 2 in both Initial and Tuned configurations to document any changes from adjustment. The summary cards below show how each fit condition performed across our standard metrics.
In initial fit testing with closed dome coupling, the Audien Atom Pro 2 achieved a normalized score of 2.5/5. Feedback handling was excellent at 5.0/5, providing stable, whistle-free operation. However, speech benefit was limited with speech in quiet at 0.7/5 and speech in noise at 0.5/5—both below category averages. Own-voice comfort scored 2.6/5, slightly above average but mixed overall. Music streaming scored 0.0/5, indicating poor audio fidelity for entertainment use.
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.
