Type
Prescription hearing aid
Sound Quality
Starkey Genesis AI uses artificial intelligence to make over 80 MILLION adjustments every hour. AI pattern recognition technology adapts to different listening situations so that it’s easier to hear and understand what someone is saying. This technology creates a listening experience where the user can better hear soft sounds without noise, understand speech, and have reduced listening effort.
Comfort
The Starkey Genesis AI RIC styles feature an ergonomic fit behind the ear, or choose from several comfortable, custom molded devices.
Dexterity/Controls
The In-The-Ear (ITE) custom molded hearing aid option is larger then the other custom options and can be easier to insert/remove. The included rechargeable battery helps with ease of use since there are no small batteries to change. The rechargeable battery is also available in the RIC styles. The new RIC Starlink Charger is also redesigned to help those with dexterity concerns. You have the option of automatic adjustments by the hearing aid or can also use manual controls. There is a remote control and My Starkey app for additional adjustments.
Hearing Loss
This hearing aid can be adjusted for mild to profound hearing loss.
