The Starkey Edge AI represents significant progress in hearing aid technology through its innovative G2 Neuro Processor. This technology processes sound using a neural processing unit that works to classify sounds, enhance speech, and reduce background noise in real-time.
The Neuro Sound Technology 2.0 in Edge AI processes sound through three distinct pathways. First, it maps out your listening environment. Second, it manages sound continuously in the background. Third, it gives you control over your listening experience through customizable settings.
One of the biggest challenges for people with hearing loss is understanding speech in noisy environments. Edge AI addresses this through its advanced sound processing, which is 30% more accurate at identifying speech than previous models. The technology can reduce low-level noise by 6dB while maintaining clear speech signals.
Edge AI offers up to 51 hours of battery life, even with streaming activities. The rechargeable models are waterproof up to 1 meter, making them suitable for active lifestyles. Available styles include RIC RT, mRIC R, RIC 312, ITE R, ITC/HS R, and CIC, providing options for different hearing needs and preferences.
Edge AI features Bluetooth Low Energy Audio streaming, enabling easier pairing and more stable connections with smartphones and other devices. The My Starkey app allows you to control your hearing aids through your smartphone or Apple Watch, stream calls and reminders, and access additional features like balance assessment exercises.
Edge AI's advanced features translate into meaningful daily improvements. The technology excels in complex listening environments like restaurants, social gatherings, and outdoor spaces where multiple sounds compete for attention. The Edge Mode+ feature, accessible through the My Starkey app, allows you to focus on speech in challenging situations with a simple tap. When background noise suddenly increases, the system quickly adapts to maintain clear speech understanding while reducing unwanted sounds.
