- Starkey Genesis AI offers six different models or styles of hearing aids and four different technology levels or quality levels. The most popular model is the RIC (receiver-in-canal) RT, which is rechargeable and has a telecoil, with a battery life of 51 hours. The mRIC R, which is slightly smaller and has a battery life of 33 hours, is also popular. Other models include the IIC NW (invisible-in-canal, non-wireless), ITC R (in-the-canal rechargeable), CIC NW (completely in canal, non-wireless), and ITE R (larger version of ITC R).
When choosing a model, factors such as size, battery life, and functionality of buttons can be considered. Additionally, Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids are available in wireless and non-wireless options, with the wireless models offering Bluetooth connectivity and streaming capabilities from smartphones. The technology level or quality level of the hearing aids also varies, with higher levels offering more advanced features such as noise reduction and Edge Mode, which may require user input. It's important to consider individual hearing needs and lifestyle when selecting the appropriate model and technology level.

I have worn hearing aids for the last 6 months.. I started out with the lyric.. I absolutely LOVED the sound quality for the 3 months that I was lucky to have them, but unfortunately wasn't a candidate in the end. I then tried IIC hearing aids and hated the sound quality.. I now have the phonak audeo lumity and loved how they sounded until I started having a feedback issue, then my audiologist applied the feedback cancelation and they now sound awful when they get tinny with a lot of tones,(like an oven going off or carder beeping, etc..) or when I'm singing/playing piano, even in the music setting and I can't stand it... What my audiologist did was trying to reduce the high frequency gain which hasn't helped.. He asked me to try experimenting with changing setting on my own to see if there's anything that I liked and monitor it this week before going back.. No luck with that.. Any ideas of what to do?? HELP!!!!! I do like the RIC type.. so unfortunately I think I’m past my trial period so not sure if I can change them out :(.. I’ve also tried the resounds had no luck with those (although they were just fitted poorly and I had wrong domes at first which was probably why…) but my audiologist told me that the lumity devices are great devices,.. (which they were until now before having the whole feedback issue).. the feedback test helped resolve the feedback, but its only as I was stating before, its the issue with the sound quality and that it was sounding tinny and stuff with certain pitches or tones,.. and I also liked how they had a built in music setting in the app, which the resounds didn’t though,.. my hearing loss is a flat moderate hearing loss.. what devices and components in particular would you recommend for this?
Hey. I've been wearing Starkey's IIC hearing aids for at least 8 years. It's all about the programming you get that normally goes haywire. I had horrible sounding HAs until I went "rogue" and got the equipment and software to program them myself. The difference is night and day. Programmed right, music sounds incredible. Very natural. I have some over-the-ear HAs that I used for a while at night, and having sound come in through the ear canal before its amplified makes it much more like normal hearing. I don't know what to tell you about programming. Google "DIY hearing aid programming", and if you're really tenacious you'll ultimately figure it out. Or, ... find someone who will let you sit at the programming console (it's like an EQ with 24 channels) and play music that you know well. It takes hours (literally hours) and probably several attempts, but that's how you get HAs to amplify sound for your particular loss in an accurate way. They don't do it that way because it is so time consuming, so you have to find someone (pay them extra?) who'll go along with the exercise. Good luck. And, in the end, if you can wear IICs, I think you'll find them (after proper programming) to be the best option.
Can anyone confirm there are definitely a removable battery versions of the genesis AI ITC and ITE models?
There are not
Is edge mode available in the IIC model? If so, how would you activate it?
it is not :/
@@Ziphearing It's hard to keep track of what features are available with which models. Thanks!
Was wondering same thing because the chart of the levels did not show EDGE excluded in the 24 line. Was hoping it was. What about the CIC model?

Yes, for the wireless CIC model (24. 20 & 16 Channel versions).
No for the CIC NW (non-wireless) model.
