Just when you thought Starkey’s hearing technology had reached the summit of possibility for hearing aid wearers everywhere, we top it with a hearing aid that takes better hearing and living to a whole new level.
Introducing all new Edge Al. From its pure, clean sound and dependable durability to its multiple health, wellness and convenience features, Edge AI hearing aids put you, the hearing aid wearer, in control of each day.
Let’s explore what it means to have next-level hearing technology everyday with Edge AI.
Advanced Features You Can Count On
Starkey developed Edge AI hearing technology to exceed every expectation you have of hearing aids. We focused on innovation that helps you hear better in all situations and is reliable no matter what. This has always been our standard at Starkey, and we’re sticking to it.
How Edge AI Technology Works
Listening, as you can imagine, is a complex process. But it’s one that a “normal-hearing” brain handles effortlessly. Unfortunately, this process breaks down when we have hearing loss. This is where the groundbreaking technology of Edge AI comes in—to help fix this broken process by mimicking the brain’s auditory cortex.
Edge AI hearing aids can classify complex soundscapes, enhance speech, and reduce noise in real-time with advanced and powerful AI built into each device.
And the benefits of Edge AI don’t stop there:
- All-day battery life: Enjoy up to 51 hours*, even when you stream.
- Reduced listening effort and fatigue: Unrivaled clarity makes listening and understanding easier.
- Advanced speech identification: We’re talking 30% higher accuracy than previous technology.
- Easy streaming of calls and music: All-new Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Audio connectivity makes it happen.
- Unstoppable durability: Edge AI hearing aids are waterproof**, sweatproof, and everyday proof.
We built all of this into one modern, discreet, all-day-comfortable hearing aid tailored to your unique hearing needs by a licensed hearing care professional trained in auditory science.
What more could you want? We thought you’d never ask.
Hear Better in Noise
The toughest listening situations for people with hearing loss are noisy environments like restaurants, crowded events, and parties; right? Well, they have nothing on Edge AI hearing aids’ speed, precision, and power designed to bring clarity to such chaotic conditions.
Trained on millions of sounds to distinguish those of interest (like someone talking to you) from distracting noises (like clanks, hums, or other people’s conversations), the AI inside Edge AI focuses on the “good” sounds while diminishing the “bad”, to deliver a cleaner, purer signal no matter where you are. This includes unpredictable situations where noise unexpectedly becomes louder like sporting events and family gatherings.
Connect your Edge AI hearing aids with the My Starkey app on your smartphone to access Edge Mode+. This on-demand feature allows you to zero-in on speech in any challenging environment.

Check it out:

Future-forward Connectivity
Starkey will never cease in the pursuit of greater connections for hearing aid wearers, which is why Edge AI integrates the all-new Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio streaming protocol.1 This uses less power and delivers the next-generation connectivity standard across electronics everywhere.
What this means for us? Edge AI hearing aids will pair more easily, connect more quickly, stream more robustly, and are Auracast ready: linking you to better sound quality in places like movie theaters, airports, train stations, the gym, places of worship, and more.2
