Overview of Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aids

Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aids were launched towards the end of October 2023 and replaced the Starkey Evolv AI hearing aid range which was released in the UK in January 2022.  The Starkey Genesis AI 24 is the premium performance level in the range and includes the choice of RIC-RT, mRIC-R, rechargeable, and custom In-Ear hearing aid models.

Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids boast new features and technology that are actually said to make a difference, as well as sticking to some old ones that have shown success with hearing aid wearers.  Starkey’s processing chip update brings improvements in speed and capacity – loaded with five times more computational memory and ten times the amount of non-volatile memory.

Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aid’s Neuro Sound Technology

Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids introduce the Neuro Sound Technology that mirrors your cerebral cortex.  In reality, it processes sounds in such a way that it “fills in the gaps” that hearing loss naturally takes away.

It works the same way as a ‘normal’ auditory system does but at 80 million times per hour no less!  In reality, this gives you clarity in words and speech and the ability to hear softer sounds whilst reducing listening effort.  Now you can enjoy great hearing experiences in whatever listening environment you find yourself in.

What is new with the launch of Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aids?

Aesthetics of Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aids

Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids boast a redesigned appearance, distinguishing itself from its predecessors in both Receiver in Canal and custom hearing aid models.  In particular, the Receiver in Canal (RIC) model flaunts a sleeker exterior.  Thanks to the integration of smaller components, Starkey Genesis AI is expected to be more compact than past Starkey hearing aids.

Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aid’s battery life

Starkey Genesis AI has introduced the industry’s most enduring rechargeable battery, offering an impressive 51 hours of use on a single charge.  The compact Genesis AI miniRIC model (mRIC), while reducing battery size, still provides an impressive 41 hours of power.

While many hearing aid wearers might be content with 20 hours, this additional battery life opens up the possibility of a weekend away without the need for recharging.  It is also worth noting that Starkey offers larger In-Ear devices in rechargeable options that deliver an impressive 36 hours of power.  You could say that Genesis AI has stretched the boundaries of what a hearing aid battery is capable of. It’ll be hard to beat!

Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aid’s processing chip

Recharging and battery improvements aside, Starkey has also upped their game with their new processing chip – the Starkey Neuro Processor. Offering the smallest and fastest chip with six times more transistors and four times the speed than previous Starkey hearing aids.  This processing chip powers the AI side of things and is the critical element in giving hearing aid wearers more intelligent health data tracking and personal assistant features.

The new Edge Mode+ facilitates real-time audio refinement through advanced compression, effectively minimising the strain on the listener.  This robust processing chip has also unlocked a host of intelligent functionalities within health tracking and the Starkey personal assistant.

The Starkey app

Arguably, Starkey has historically been criticised for their hard-to-use app, but this new app ‍should put an end to all that. Their now user-friendly ‘how-to’ videos are a simple example of this – keeping the app less complex, less overwhelming and more focused on the most beneficial features you will actually use.

A quick breakdown of hearing aid features included in Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aids

• 24 programming channels
• 35dB wind noise reduction
• 22 dB speech in noise reduction
• Includes all the range’s special features such as Edge Mode+, fitness tracking, tap control, translation, assistant, and transcription

What’s stayed the same with Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aids?

• The Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids continue to offer a choice between disposable or rechargeable batteries (now they boast an extended lifespan).
• They still offer advanced Bluetooth connectivity.
• They remain compatible with both iPhone and Android devices, providing hands-free calling for iPhone users.  However, for Android users, maintaining proximity to the device remains necessary for effective voice pickup.
• Includes the same indispensable Deep Neural Network (DNN) responsible for managing background noise.  However, the Deep Neural Network has undergone enhancements and is now capable of executing 80 million adjustments per hour.

Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aid models

Starkey has always been renowned for offering reliable and aesthetically pleasing hearing aids but this range is even more sleek, stylish, and discreet – giving you both durability and comfort all day long.

Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids include two Receiver in Canal devices: the larger rechargeable RT device featuring a telecoil and a double push button, alongside the smaller rechargeable microRIC (mRIC) with a single push button.

The line-up includes rechargeable In-Ear hearing aids available in both full shell and half shell designs, as well as a non-wireless Completely in Canal (CIC) hearing aid and an Invisible in the Canal (IIC) hearing aid that uses a size 10 disposable battery.

Features and performance levels in the Starkey Genesis AI hearing aid range

The Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids come in different performance levels (such as 24, 20, 16, and 12).  It is worth considering the 24 or 20 performance levels of Starkey Genesis AI if advanced features and enhanced performance are important to you.
