The result is Genesis AI, a new, unprecedented experience for both patients and hearing professionals.

All-New Processor
The all-new Starkey Neuro Processor features the industry’s most advanced processor technology which mimics the function of the central auditory system through a Deep Neural Network (DNN) on-chip accelerator and automatic functions.

  • Smallest processor ever by Starkey, but also the most powerful with 6x more transistors.
  • Speed – the Starkey Neuro Processor operates quickly, efficiently, and quietly and is up to 4x faster than previous processors.
  • Less power, more processing – the processor is more efficient with power while delivering significantly higher processing.
  • Loaded with 5X more computational memory and 10X the amount of non-volatile memory.

All-New Sound
Starkey’s new Neuro Sound Technology provides the best hearing experience for patients in all situations. The additive compression system synthesises the signals from slow and fast compression systems for optimised perceptual outcomes, like the neural fibres that code different information for the brain.

“By spending countless hours with hearing professionals and patients, researching and analysing every element of the hearing journey, we relentlessly pursued how to develop and bring the most advanced hearing technology to professionals and patients in a simple and intuitive way,” said Achin Bhowmik, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering at Starkey. “Our all-new, powerful processor was designed to work like the human brain, leveraging the neuroscience of the ear-brain connection and information processing to create better sound quality, pushing energy-efficient artificial intelligence to its limits, analysing and automatically optimising sound over 80 million times an hour. Genesis AI’s improved performance levels are unlike anything else in the industry, while doubling the battery life.”

Starkey Genesis AI Hearing Aid ChargerAll-New Design
Genesis AI features an all-new sleek, discreet and stylish aesthetic product design that’s durable and comfortable for all-day wear, and which helps break barriers and reduce the stigma of what is hearing care technology today.

  • Genesis AI includes RIC RT, the industry’s longest-lasting RIC rechargeable hearing aid on the market. The battery holds up to 51 hours on a single charge.
  • The new mRIC R has the second longest-lasting RIC rechargeable battery life with up to 41 hours on a single charge.
  • Industry-first custom rechargeable product has the highest custom battery life in the industry with up to 36 hours on a single charge.

All-New Patient Experience
The new My Starkey App gives patients full control over their hearing aids, plus the ability to get helpful tips, track their health, and access intelligent features designed to simplify their lives.

Starkey leads the hearing industry as it relates to incorporating health and wellness features into hearing aids, including being the first to integrate 3D sensors; the first to enable counting steps; the first to track and encourage social engagement; and the first to provide benefits that went beyond just better hearing. Starkey was also the first hearing manufacturer — and still the only — to make hearing aids that can detect falls and send alerts.

Genesis AI’s improved streaming capabilities utilise binaural phone steaming, sharing information to both ears directly and simultaneously. This supports two-way, hands-free calling through compatible Apple and Android devices and makes it easier for patients to enjoy their favourite music with more natural results.

Genesis AI is now available in the UK.

Best invisible hearing aid of 2023

Starkey’s Evolv AI has been named the best invisible hearing aid of 2023, according to a recent list by Forbes. The Forbes Health editorial team consulted with audiologists from the Forbes Health Advisory Board to determine the best invisible hearing aids available. Ratings were based on prices, average user ratings and product features that are typically important to hearing aid users. Evolv AI was the only hearing aid to receive a five-star rating, earning the top spot on the list.

“As the industry leader in custom hearing aids, we are committed to excellence when it comes to our Invisible-In-Canal devices,” said Starkey President and CEO Brandon Sawalich. “We know that, far too often, the stigma associated with wearing hearing aids prevents people with hearing loss from getting the help they need. These hearing aids help break down that barrier. While we are proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, the best is yet to come. Exciting things are right around the corner, that will help people hear better, so they can live their best lives.”
