Introducing Edge AI—our best hearing aids yet

November 1, 2024

Just when you thought Starkey’s hearing technology had reached the summit of possibility for hearing aid wearers everywhere—we top it with a hearing aid that takes better hearing and living to a whole new level.

Introducing all-new Edge AI

From its pure, clean sound and dependable durability to its multiple health, wellness and convenience features, Edge AI hearing aids put you, the hearing aid wearer, in control of each day.

Let’s explore what it means to have next-level hearing technology in your everyday—with Edge AI.

Advanced features you can count on

Edge AI hearing technology was developed to exceed every expectation you have of hearing aids. It’s innovation that helps you hear better in all situations and is reliable no matter what. This has always been our standard at Starkey, and we’re sticking to it.

How Edge AI technology works
Listening, as you can imagine, is a complex process. But it’s one that a “normal-hearing” brain handles effortlessly. Unfortunately, this process breaks down when we have hearing loss. This is where the groundbreaking technology of Edge AI comes in—to help fix this broken process by mimicking the brain’s auditory cortex.

It classifies complex soundscapes. Enhances speech. And reduces noise in real-time with advanced and powerful AI built into each hearing aid.

And the benefits of Edge AI don’t stop there:

  • All-day battery life
    Enjoy up to 51 hours*—even when you stream.
  • Reduced listening effort and fatigue
    Unrivaled clarity makes listening and understanding easier.
  • Advanced speech identification
    We’re talking 30% higher accuracy than previous technology.
  • Easy streaming of calls and music
    All-new Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Audio connectivity makes it happen.
  • Unstoppable durability
    Edge AI are waterproof**, sweatproof, everyday proof.

All of this, built into one modern, discreet, all-day-comfortable hearing aid tailored to your unique hearing needs by a licensed hearing care professional trained in auditory science.

What more could you want? We thought you’d never ask.

Hear better in noise

The toughest listening situations for people with hearing loss are noisy environments like restaurants, crowded events, or parties, right? Well, they have nothing on Edge AI’s speed, precision and power designed to bring clarity to such chaotic conditions.

Trained on millions of sounds to distinguish those of interest (like someone talking to you) from distracting noises (like clanks, hums or other people’s conversations), the AI inside Edge AI focuses on the “good” sounds while diminishing the “bad”, to deliver a cleaner, purer signal no matter where you are.

This includes unpredictable situations where noise unexpectedly becomes louder, from sporting events to family gatherings. Simply connect Edge AI with the My Starkey app to access Edge Mode+—the on-demand feature that allows you to zero-in on speech in any challenging environment.

Edge AI and My Starkey app—more than meets the ear

And speaking of the My Starkey app, did you know that Edge AI can give you greater listening moments and much more when paired with the easy-to-use My Starkey app?

Check it out:

Future-forward connectivity

Starkey will never cease in the pursuit of greater connections for hearing aid wearers—which is why Edge AI integrates the all-new Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio streaming protocol. This uses less power and delivers the next-generation connectivity standard across electronics everywhere.

What this means for us: Edge AI hearing aids will pair more easily, connect more quickly, stream more robustly, and are Auracast™ ready—linking you to better sound quality in places like movie theaters, airports, train stations, the gym, places of worship, and more. 

Better hearing for all—just ask hearing aid wearers themselves

Real people, from conventional to tech-savvy, are experiencing real-life transformations—thanks to all-new Edge AI hearing technology. Just ask these actual wearers of Edge AI hearing aids:

Brian of Minnesota, who owns a music venue: “There are definitely settings where I never would be able to hear people that I can now.”

Louisiana-based Renee, an aerospace engineer and avid kayaker: “This technology is leaps and bounds on where it was two years ago.”

Stan from Mississippi, a retired design engineer and on-the-go grandpa: “I can understand just about everything my granddaughter is saying again.”

Kevin of Florida, a retired small business owner: “These hearing aids do everything automatically. They don’t lack anything in terms of their technology.” 

California-based Sherry: “My hearing loss isn’t severe. But at this stage in my life, I want to be proactive.”

These hearing aid wearers are as individual as their hearing journeys. But the one thing they share is that they aren’t going to let their hearing loss hold them back from anything—with the help of Edge AI hearing aids.
