  2. How does the AI in “Genesis AI” actually improve my hearing?

  The “AI” refers to Neuro Sound Technology. This system processes sound 80 million times per hour. It mimics the human cerebral cortex to fill in the gaps caused by hearing loss. It identifies speech and separates it from background noise with incredible speed, providing a natural and effortless listening experience even in complex environments.

  3. Is the Starkey Genesis AI 24 waterproof?

  Yes. All models in this series feature Pro8 HydraShield™ technology. They are rated IP68+, which is the highest industry standard for durability. This means the devices are highly resistant to water, humidity, sweat, and dust, making them ideal for active users or those living in humid climates.

  4. Can I stream phone calls and music directly to these devices?

  Absolutely. The Genesis AI 24 offers seamless connectivity for both iOS (Apple) and Android devices. Using the My Starkey App, you can stream high-fidelity audio, take hands-free phone calls, and even listen to TV audio directly through your hearing aids (with a TV streamer accessory).

  5. What is “Edge Mode+” and how do I use it?

  Edge Mode+ is an on-demand AI feature. When you find yourself in an unexpectedly difficult listening situation (like a noisy wedding or a loud restaurant), you can activate Edge Mode+ via the app. The AI instantly scans the room and makes complex adjustments to optimize speech clarity and reduce noise for that specific moment.

  6. How does the Fall Alert feature work?

  This is a groundbreaking safety feature. The hearing aids contain integrated sensors that can detect the specific “signature” of a fall. If the wearer falls, the hearing aid communicates with the smartphone app to send a text alert and GPS location to up to three designated emergency contacts.

  7. What is the battery life for the rechargeable models?

  The RIC RT and mRIC R offer industry-leading battery life. On a full charge, you can expect up to 30–50 hours of use, depending on how much time you spend streaming audio. A quick 7-minute charge can give you up to 3 hours of use in an emergency.

  Yes, through a feature called TeleHear. If you need a minor adjustment, you can connect with your hearing professional via the My Starkey App. They can make real-time changes to your settings remotely while you stay in the comfort of your home.

  10. Why is the 24-channel version better than lower models?

  Channels and bands are like the “pixels” in a digital image. With 24 channels, the Genesis AI 24 provides the highest resolution of sound. This allows for extremely precise fine-tuning, ensuring that loud sounds are never uncomfortable and soft sounds are perfectly audible.
