Hi, I’m Dr. Egan from Now Hear This and today I’m going to talk to you about some exciting new product updates from Starkey and they’ve created a new hearing aid platform called Starkey Genesis AI. Let’s get started! One of the big, exciting things about their new hearing aid that they launched just this spring is that there’s a 40% reduction in circuit noise. So, we have some patients who come in and get new hearing aids, and they are actually able to hear the sound of the processing of the hearing aid itself in their ears. So, it’s always really exciting when a hearing aid company takes a huge leap forward on reducing that, and we actually had some patients who tried multiple different companies, and by far and across, found that Starkey had the quietest hearing aid with the actual processing of that circuit noise, so that’s really exciting! Another advancement is that they have a 100% increase in the processing and understanding of soft speech. So, if you’re someone whose worn hearing aids before and you can hear normal conversation well, but you struggle to hear those soft talkers, those people who just have quieter voices, we’ve found a lot of success with the new Starkey Genesis at being able to kind of pull out the soft sounds of speech and those soft talkers quite a bit better. For those music lovers, Starkey has created a 20%, or 20 decibel improvement in dynamic range, so what that means is that music, which is processed very differently from speech, is able to be better encapsulated and have a much more full, surround-sound. And a 20-decibel improvement is pretty substantial, so for you music lovers and audiophiles out there, I think you’d notice a significant improvement. Now for me personally, what I’m most excited about is the IP 68 water resistance rating of these hearing aids. We live in North Carolina where in the summer, even going on a walk, there’s moisture, there’s perspiration and we start to see a lot more hearing aids repairs occur in July and August as a result. So, to see they have the strongest possible water resistance rating, that IP 68, is personally what I’m most excited about. Another thing a lot of our patients really enjoy is the charging of lithium-ion batteries, and all hearing aid manufacturers across the board, have created a much more durable and stable rechargeable hearing aid, but what Starkey has done with their most recent Genesis AI platform, is they’ve created lithium-ion batteries that are able to last much longer than ever before. So, for the behind-the-ear hearing aid, it’s about 51 hours, for the in the ear rechargeable, it’s 42 hours, which you may think, “when am I ever going to wear my hearing aid for two days straight, but what that means is if you’re someone who streams a lot of music, podcasts, videos, you’re not going to see the battery of your hearing aid run down. I also run into a lot of questions from patients when they travel overseas. “Well, I’m going to be on this super long flight, and then I have to be up the whole next day, and how do I make sure my battery lasts the whole time?” And that is really the perfect solution, these new Starkey Genesis hearing aids, their battery will get you through the entire trip overseas and to your hotel by the end of that next day. And last but not least, there has been an update to the physical form of the hearing aid. So, this is their old hearing aid in the most common RIC style. It had a little microphone cover which could break off and could clog with debris, and they’ve come up with a much more ergonomic design, so this is their new Genesis AI RIC, and it doesn’t have that bulky microphone cover that gets clogged up as easily. So, it’s much more ergonomic to the shape of the ear where it’s less likely to slip off, but it’s also more water resistant, and also keeps those microphone ports from getting clogged. So, you know, all of our initial fittings have been going really great. We’ve had a lot of people excited about the Starkey Genesis AI. I hope you learned a little bit in this video and if you enjoyed this information, make sure to like and subscribe to our channel for other updates in the audiology world. And of course, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! - Věda a technologie

![Nick's Starkey Genesis AI 24 Review [Real User]](/img/tr.png)
I just found this video and thank you for doing a great job describing the Starkey Genesis AI. For the last several years, I’ve had resound hearing aids and like clockwork every couple of months one or the other would go out and I would have to send it off for repairs. I know others who have the same brand and swears by them so I have a feeling it’s probably moisture in my ears.
hopefully the “waterproof“ of these hearing aids will make this a memory.
FYI, that was even with wearing my resounds and putting them in a dehumidifier.
Starkey is good for 110db+?
Always liked watching videos of different hearing aids even when I'm using the phonak lumity right now by keeping up to date on hearing aids I never know if I will go with a different brand of hearing aids from phonak
Great video Dr. Egan, thank you. I just got new Starkey Genesis AI ITE devices last week and I am enjoying them. You are so right about the microphone covers on the previous Starkey devices. I had Halo 2400 and Evolv AI 2400s and the mic covers on both of them were continually coming off.
Happy to hear your new devices are working well for you! Reach out if you need anything else.
@@Nowhearthisclinic The new Genesis AI ITE devices are giving me some problems with feedback. Sadly, my local VA does not offer online programming for veterans and my audiologist is only there one day a week. Fingers crossed.
Hello i had a friend gave me a starkey hearing aid i need help dont understand the directions
I am currently using Starkey Evolv AI, and the main defects are two, the first concerns the bluetooth connection outdoors with the iPhone, a not very stable connection, the second defect is the switching from one audio source to another, most Sometimes a conflict arises that requires a reboot. My question is whether these defects have been corrected.
Hi, I'm also a starkey evolv user; and found it annoying at the beginning, switching from listening to music (audio) on eg. tablet, and then switching to cellphone for same music on the same app. After some discussion with colleagues, my audiologist suggested to not use more than 1 device on bluetooth at a time; so I used to make sure that bluetooth is on only on the device I'm using for audio (eg. when out, usually use the iphone, so shut off the bluetooth for ipad; and vice-versa). Hope this works on yours too! :)
Yes, if you use only one device things improve, but it is a shame not to include an option on the app that can switch from one device to another without having to deactivate Bluetooth on the other devices.
I currently disconnected the Mac from the Evolv because it was giving me too many problems, so to be able to hear the audio from the Mac I use the same device that I use for the TV.@@learningavocado162
No answer to how to turn it on.
Wow you did a very very good job of explaining it I know you're probably reading from a script but that's okay because you were precise and I'm point very good job very good video I too have a woman that is so soft spoken I can't make out what she's saying and believe it or not there's two guys the same way and it drives me crazy
It was actually not scripted, we like to speak from the heart. I'm glad you found the video informative!
I just bought a pair the right side is a little bit big and it's irritating my ear but the hearing aids are great I only got one right now in my ear cuz I took the other one out until I get to my doctor there is a couple of people in my life that I have a hard time hearing and now I hear them very plain they're worth the money I was going to file the one down a little bit but I thought if I ruined them they wouldn't honor my insurance so I'm going to wait until I see my gal the doctor and I've only got one in my ear right now and it works just absolutely fine I had both in my ear for a while but like I said before it irritate my ear so I had to take it out
I've been wearing them for almost two weeks, and it's been a horrible experience. The soft speech function does not work at all. My ability to her voices has diminished greatly with these. Thankfully, I am still in my trial period.
Hmm, I highly recommend you go back to your provider and make sure they are programming via Real Ear Measurement. That can make a huge difference with any hearing aid brand. A device is only as good as it's programming!
mine are good excpet for phone calls. and i agree with the other comment my provider didnt even know much about them??? ive had to tell him about features like the edge setting in the app. my phone calls are way too low and i cant get them louder so i too will be sending these back
Did you buy them online without in person support and adjustments?
Technology now a days sucks,.. and starkey is known to be a horrible brand. I’ve had tried so many different hearing aids and so far only had luck with the phonak lyric since I am a musician,.. I highly doubt these would cut it for music, most people go with Widex or ReSound for musicians,..I currently have the Phonak Audeo Lumity and they’re awful for musicians but ok otherwise but I don’t like them,.. I am still trying to take things up wirh my audiologist but might switch back to lyric even though I’m not a candidate
Am been wereing hearing aid since 7 years old technology killed the hearing aids industry why no power and took the away the 10 wheel sound and the pink hearing aid moles non iccky 500 dollars back then now now 3000 up why they don't give discount when pay cash cash all a scam
