Genesis AI is the all new hearing aid from Starkey with a new processor, new sound, new design and new patient experience!

The processor is the brains of every hearing aid, and the Starkey Neuro Processor is tiny and very powerful. It has an on board deep neural network (DNN) accelerator engine that mimics the human brain. 4x the speed of previous processors and 6x more transistors with faster environmental identification and adaption.

In a nutshell it utilises complex pattern recognition with advanced machine learning technology, adapting to more listening situations than ever before. An astounding 80 million personalised hearing adjustments every hour, this technology enables you to hear soft sounds easier, distinguish words and speech more intuitively, and significantly reduce listening effort.

The ITC R – standout product in the range!

The Starkey range of hearing aids really stands out but there is one variant within the range that really jumps out, the rechargeable custom ITC R (in the canal) model. 

It has all the many benefits of Starkey technology, including being a rechargeable custom hearing aid and with connectivity to both the majority of Apple and Android phones, but uniquely within a custom ‘in the ear’ product.

We have been very impressed with all aspects of the Starkey ITC R, including little touches such as when inserting the hearing aids into the charger they magnetically attach to the charging pod. 

This combined with the fact there are no batteries to fiddle about with make the Starkey ITC R a winner for those with limited dexterity. ITC R has a Tap Control mode, two taps gives you access to various controls that we can set up for your convenience. This eliminates the need to press a fiddly button to access useful features.

Regardless of dexterity, ITC R is a real winner with all the underlying technology!

The connection between health and hearing

Hearing health is directly connected to overall health and wellbeing. That’s been proven, and it means that people who are able to hear can engage with the world around them and live better and healthier lives.

Increasing evidence also shows treatment of hearing loss with hearing aids can improve or limit some serious health issues like cognitive decline and dementia. Worryingly, adults with moderate to severe hearing loss are three to five times more likely to develop dementia. Adults with hearing loss can experience a 30 to 40 percent faster rate of cognitive decline than those with normal hearing.

Genesis AI tracks brain and body health using integrated sensors and artificial intelligence.

Tracking devices that monitor physical activity already exist. It tracks physical activity and cognitive health as measured by hearing aid use in social situations.

Most fitness tracking devices use the wrist, but the ear provides far more accurate data. In fact, it’s an ideal spot for reliable tracking and Starkey Genesis AI takes advantage of that. Compatible with both Android and Apple smartphones, Genesis AI provides you with a Body Score, a Brain Score and an overall score combining the two. Your Thrive Wellness Score.

Now people of all ages can take a proactive approach to their overall wellness by monitoring their activities.
