Deep Neural Network Sound Processing

The Edge AI’s Deep Neural Network is powered by Starkey’s G2 Neuro Processor, which includes an integrated NPU (Neural Processing Unit). This AI system has been trained to recognize the unique characteristics of speech and noise, enabling it to separate them more efficiently than traditional algorithms, all while minimizing battery consumption.

Edge Mode Plus

Activate Edge Mode Plus via the app to boost performance in challenging listening environments, with options to improve speech, reduce noise, or optimize overall sound.   This feature offers a remarkable 10-13 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio, providing a significant enhancement that makes conversations in noisy settings much clearer.

Outstanding Battery Life

Experience exceptional battery performance:

  • RIC RT: Up to 51 hours (44 hours with streaming)

  • mRIC-R: Up to 41 hours (33 hours with streaming)

Bluetooth Connectivity

Equipped with Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast compatibility, allowing you to:

  • Connect to compatible smartphones and devices

  • Stream audio directly from public venue sound systems (e.g., museums, churches, theaters)

  • Share audio with other LE Audio-enabled evices

Water Resistance and Durability

Engineered with Starkey's Pro 8 Hydro Shield technology, these hearing aids feature eight protective layers to guard against moisture and debris damage. With an IP68+ rating, they surpass standard industry water and dust resistance.

Comprehensive Health Features

Fall Detection: Notifies designated contacts if a fall is detected.

Balance Assessment: Follows the CDC's STEADI protocol, offering exercises to enhance stability.

Activity Tracking: Tracks daily activity and engagement levels.
