Summary
In our initial fit testing with closed vented domes, the Audien Atom X achieved a fit score of 1.87/5, falling below the category average. The device excelled at feedback prevention with a perfect 5.00/5 score, and music streaming performed adequately at 3.30/5. However, speech benefit metrics were notably weak—speech in quiet scored 1.50/5 and speech in noise just 0.30/5, both well below OTC averages. Own voice comfort measured 2.30/5. The proprietary manufacturer default fitting provided limited amplification for the target moderate hearing loss profile.
The tuned fit condition for the Audien Atom X produced identical results to the initial fit, with no score improvements achieved through optimization attempts. Using the same closed vented dome coupling, all metrics remained unchanged: speech in quiet at 1.50/5, speech in noise at 0.30/5, feedback handling at 5.00/5, own voice at 2.30/5, and music streaming at 3.30/5. This suggests the device offers limited adjustability for matching prescriptive targets, which may constrain its effectiveness for users seeking customized amplification.
