Key Features
-
G2 Neuro Processor with Integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU): At the heart of Edge AI is Starkey’s G2 Neuro Processor, the industry’s first hearing‑aid chip to fully integrate an NPU. This enables deep neural‑network (DNN) processing that classifies soundscapes, enhances speech and reduces noise in real‑time.
-
Improved Speech Identification: Edge AI claims a ~30% improvement in speech identification compared to previous generations.
-
Edge Mode+ / On‑Demand Sound Optimisation: Offers advanced listening modes, including “Edge Mode+”, which you can activate (via the app or manual control) to boost speech clarity or suppress background noise in challenging environments.
-
Bluetooth Low Energy Audio & Auracast‑Ready: Edge AI supports the new Bluetooth LE Audio standard (and Auracast‑ready) for efficient streaming, lower power consumption, multi‑device connectivity, and direct streaming from compatible smartphones/devices.
-
Long Battery Life (Rechargeable Models): The rechargeable styles (RIC RT) offer up to 51 hours of use on a full charge (without streaming).
-
Health & Wellness Features: Built‑in motion and balance sensors enable features like a self‑guided balance assessment, fall detection and activity tracking — making the aids more than just hearing devices.
-
Robust Build & Water/Dust Resistance: Equipped with Starkey’s Pro 8 HydraShield (8 layers of protection) and an IP68‑equivalent rating, these aids are designed to withstand real‑world wear and tear.
-
Wide Range of Styles & Technology Levels: Available in multiple form factors (RIC, custom ITE/ITC/CIC, invisible styles) and technology tiers (e.g., 24, 20, 16) so you can match your lifestyle and budget.
