Starkey has released its latest hearing aid technology, the Starkey Genesis AI.
This hearing aid is a major leap forward for Starkey. It features a new case design, a new processor, upgraded sound quality, and a new app with additional features.
NEW DESIGN
The new receiver in canal design, the RIC RT and mRIC R, feature an ergonomic fit behind the ear.
The new RIC style is sleek, discreet, and durable which proves to be an excellent hearing aid for all day wear and comfort. There is also Pro8 Hydrashield water protection and the FlexForm receiver cable for better fit.
The RIC RT is the longest lasting rechargeable RIC at 51 hours of use on a single charge. It also has a telecoil for better hearing on the phone.
The mRIC R is smaller and has 41 hours of use on a single charge.
In addition to the RIC styles you also have the option of a custom molded devices. These include: the ITE R (in the ear rechargeable) with a battery life of 42 hours on a single charge
the ITC (in the canal)/HS R (half shell rechargeable) also with a battery life of 42 hours on a single charge
the CIC NW (completely in canal non-wireless),
and the IIC NW (invisible in canal non-wireless) styles. The IIC sits deep within the ear canal making it invisible.
The IIC or CIC are great solutions for anyone who wants a hearing aid that is difficult to see. If you are not as concerned about the visibility of the hearing aids, in the canal or half shell models are a great option.
CHARGERS
The new Starlink Charger has a redesigned case which is good for people who have dexterity issues, and it's specifically for the mRIC R or RIC RT styles.
The On board battery provides 3 charges, and 3 hours of use with a 7 minute charge. There is also a charging case for the custom styles.
NEW PROCESSOR
The one feature that makes this leap forward in hearing aid technology possible is the new Starkey Neuro Processor.
It features a deep neural network DNN accelerator engine that offers 6x more transistors, 10x more memory, and 4x faster processing.
The Starkey Neuro Processor uses pattern recognition with AI technology to adapt to different listening situations so that it’s easier to hear and understand what someone is saying.
UPGRADED SOUND QUALITY
The Starkey Genesis AI also offers Neuro Sound Technology. It uses an additive compression system make possible by the new faster processor.
The hearing aid uses signals from its slow and fast compression systems for the best sound.
The noise floor is now further reduced allowing for a 20 dB improvement in dynamic range.
This technology makes 80 million adjustments every hour which creates a listening experience where the user can better hear soft sounds without noise, understand speech, and have reduced listening effort.
NEW APP - My Starkey App
The Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids offer wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and offer even more features when paired with the My Starkey app.
This easy to use app can adjust your hearing aid settings, track health goals, and even locate a lost pair of hearing aids.
The hearing aids offer fall detection with notifications to family members, binaural streaming of music and phone calls, and an activity and engagement tracker.
You can also use the smart assistant feature, reminders, language translation, and the hearing aid information guide.
Edge Mode+ optimizes the hearing aid’s sound quality in difficult listening environments.
The TeleHear feature allows remote adjustments via a video chat with your provider so that you can reduce the need for additional in-person visits.
