Smart LED Alerts and Easy Device Tracking

Omega AI also includes intuitive LED indicators to give you instant feedback on device status. A green light confirms that the hearing aid is powered and working correctly, while a red light alerts you if something needs attention.
 The same LEDs double as a locator tool: using the Find My Hearing Aid feature in the My Starkey app, you can trigger the lights to flash—making it simple to locate your devices if they’ve slipped behind furniture, into a bag, or anywhere out of sight.

Effortless Connectivity and Smart Support
