Starkey Genesis AI: Artificial Intelligence in Modern Hearing Aids

The Intelligence Behind Better Hearing

At the heart of the Genesis AI is its Neuro Processor, which works similarly to how our brains process sound naturally. This sophisticated system uses deep neural networks to analyze sounds in your environment, making split-second decisions about what you need to hear most clearly. Think of it as having a tiny sound engineer working inside your hearing aids, constantly fine-tuning your listening experience.

Beyond Just Hearing

The Genesis AI doesn't stop at helping you hear better - it's designed to be part of your overall health and lifestyle. The built-in sensors can track your physical activity and even detect if you fall, sending alerts to family members through the MyStarkey App. This added layer of safety gives both users and their loved ones peace of mind.

Making Life Easier

These hearing aids connect directly to smartphones, letting you stream phone calls, music, and other audio straight to your ears. If you use an iPhone, you can answer calls with a simple double tap on your hearing aid - no need to pull out your phone.

Finding Your Perfect Fit

We offer the Genesis AI in several styles:

• Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) for a discreet look
• In-the-Ear (ITE) for easy handling
• In-the-Canal (ITC) for a balance of visibility and performance
• Completely-in-Canal (CIC) for a more hidden option
• Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) for maximum discretion

Power When You Need It

The rechargeable battery lasts all day on a single charge, even with streaming. Just place them in their charging case at night, and they'll be ready for another full day when you wake up.

Understanding AI's Role in Your Hearing

The artificial intelligence in Genesis AI hearing aids works constantly to improve your hearing experience. Unlike basic hearing aids that simply make sounds louder, these devices learn and adapt to your preferences over time. When you enter a new environment, the AI analyzes sound patterns and makes automatic adjustments based on what has worked best for you before.

Sound Processing That Makes Sense

Different listening situations require different approaches to sound processing. In a busy coffee shop, you might want to focus on the person across the table while reducing the noise of espresso machines and background chatter. At an outdoor concert, you'll want to preserve the full range of musical sounds without them becoming overwhelming. The Genesis AI handles these transitions smoothly, often before you notice you need a change.

Some specific ways the AI helps include:

• Identifying and enhancing the primary speaker's voice
• Reducing sudden loud noises without missing important sounds
• Balancing wind noise during outdoor activities
• Maintaining natural sound quality as you move between environments

Managing Background Noise

One of the biggest challenges for people with hearing loss is following conversations in noisy places. The Genesis AI uses its processing power to:

• Separate speech from background noise
• Focus on the direction of the person speaking
• Reduce echoes in large rooms
• Keep background sounds at a comfortable level

Spatial Awareness

Knowing where sounds come from helps us feel connected to our environment and adds an important safety element to our daily lives. The Genesis AI preserves these spatial cues so you can:

• Tell which direction traffic is coming from
• Know where someone is calling you from
• Enjoy the dimensional quality of music
• Stay aware of your surroundings while walking or exercising

Customized Sound Quality

Every person's hearing loss is different, and we all have unique preferences for how we want to hear. The Genesis AI takes this into account by:

• Adjusting to your specific hearing loss pattern
• Learning your preferred settings for different situations
• Maintaining consistent sound quality across environments
• Providing a natural listening experience

Voice Recognition Features

The system pays special attention to voices, helping you better understand speech by:

• Highlighting the main speaker's voice
• Reducing competing speech sounds
• Maintaining speech clarity even in echo-prone rooms
• Adjusting for different speaking styles and volumes

Tinnitus Management

For those experiencing tinnitus (ringing in the ears), the Genesis AI includes customizable sound therapy options. These features can help make tinnitus less noticeable and provide relief throughout the day. The MyStarkey App lets you fine-tune these settings to find what works best for you.

Your Personal Hearing Assistant

The MyStarkey App puts control at your fingertips. You can adjust settings, check battery life, and even track health metrics right from your phone. If you need help, we can make adjustments to your hearing aids remotely through the app.

Getting the Perfect Sound

Our audiologists take time to program your Genesis AI hearing aids specifically for your hearing needs. We use Real Ear Measurements to verify that you're getting exactly the right amount of sound across all frequencies - something you won't get with over-the-counter devices.

Real-World Performance

These hearing aids shine in various situations:

• They help you follow conversations in noisy restaurants
• Music sounds rich and natural, not tinny or artificial
• Outdoor activities are more enjoyable with better awareness of your surroundings
• Quiet conversations remain clear without becoming too loud

Making an Informed Decision

During your visit, we'll review your hearing test results and discuss your daily activities. This helps us understand if the Genesis AI matches your needs and lifestyle. We'll cover practical matters too, like insurance coverage and payment options.

A Partnership for Better Hearing

While you might see ads for over-the-counter hearing devices, treating hearing loss successfully requires professional care. Our audiologists work with you to:

• Understand your unique hearing profile
• Program your devices for optimal performance
• Make adjustments as your needs change
