Technical Insights & Tier Recommendations

All Genesis AI models utilize the G3 Neuro Processor capable of 80 million adjustments per hour, but the higher tiers unlock the processor’s full potential.

Premium 24 Tier: Best for “Dynamic” lifestyles. It offers the maximum possible noise reduction (22dB) and features Voice AI, which specifically targets the speech of the person you are facing in high-noise environments.
Advanced 20 Tier: Ideal for “Active” users. This tier retains the Tap Control feature, allowing you to answer calls or activate Edge Mode by simply tapping your ear, though it lacks the translation tools.
Select 16 Tier: Designed for “Social” lifestyles. It provides 16 channels for precise tuning and handles small groups well, but adjustments to complex environments typically require the My Starkey App.
Standard 12 Tier: Perfect for “Quiet” lifestyles. While it lacks the automated Edge Mode+, it still provides the industry-leading 51-hour battery life and core Neuro Sound clarity for one-on-one conversations.

Lifestyle Scenario Application

If you find yourself frequently in restaurants, churches, or outdoors, the Genesis AI 24 is recommended to manage wind and background chatter effectively. For home-based users who primarily watch TV and engage in small family gatherings, the Genesis AI 12 or 16 provides excellent value without paying for high-noise features you may not use.

Powered by the Starkey Neuro Processor for Genesis AI 16 RIC RT

At the core of the Genesis AI 16 is the all-new Starkey Neuro Processor. This chip is 4x faster than previous generations and features a specialized deep neural network (DNN) accelerator. This “on-board brain” performs over 80 million automatic adjustments every hour.

By constantly scanning your surroundings, the processor identifies speech and separates it from intrusive background noise. This high-speed processing reduces the strain on your brain, making conversations feel natural and significantly reducing “listening fatigue” at the end of the day.

Durability Meets Discretion For Genesis AI 16 RIC RT

The Genesis AI 16 RIC RT is built for the rigors of daily life. With its IP68+ rating, it is more than just water-resistant; it is designed to be truly rugged.
