Starkey Edge AI

Starkey Edge AI combines advanced artificial intelligence with cutting-edge hardware to deliver exceptional hearing performance. At its core, the G2 Neuro Processor and neural processing unit work together to mimic the human brain's natural sound processing abilities. This technology analyzes complex soundscapes, enhances speech, and reduces unwanted noise in real-time.

Neuro Sound Technology 2.0

The Edge AI's processing occurs across three distinct areas - sensory mapping of the environment, subconscious background processing through Sound Manager, and conscious user control. This multi-layered approach allows for precise sound optimization based on the wearer's unique needs and listening environment.

The sensory mapping system creates a detailed acoustic picture of your surroundings, identifying different sound sources and their locations. The Sound Manager works continuously in the background to optimize these inputs, while conscious controls let you fine-tune settings for your preferences.

Processing Power and Battery Life

The system maintains impressive 51-hour battery life while delivering 30% more accurate speech identification and 6dB reduction in low-level noise compared to previous models. The rechargeable styles feature waterproof protection up to 1 meter.

The G2 Neuro Processor enables faster sound processing than ever before, making real-time adjustments that help you hear clearly in challenging environments. This advanced processing power particularly shines in situations with multiple speakers or background noise.

Connectivity and Control

Edge AI integrates Bluetooth Low Energy Audio for seamless streaming and is Auracast ready for next-generation connectivity. Through the My Starkey app, users can adjust settings, access health features including balance assessment, and control their devices directly from their smartphone or Apple Watch.
