Hearing aids made by Starkey

Starkey's Edge hearing aids — *Starkey's Edge AI hearing aid*

Like most major manufacturers, Starkey's premium product uses artificial intelligence to mimic the way a brain processes information. This hearing aid, called Edge AI, is designed to use sound, motion and listening "intent" (based on the environment) to provide better hearing. Edge includes the new Low Energy (LE) Bluetooth streaming protocol, so it is Auracast ready.

Edge can be fit for most degrees of hearing loss, from mild to profound, as well as single-sided deafness. It comes in a full range of rechargeable styles, with waterproof casing (up to one meter depth) and telecoil available. Learn more about hearing aid types and styles.

My Starkey hearing aid app

Edge can connect to Android phones, Apple iPhones, and for the first time, Apple Watch, via the My Starkey app, allowing a wearer to adjust hearing aid settings, stream calls, find their hearing aid, count steps, set reminders and more.

Starkey’s hearing aid accessories

Starkey has multiple assistive listening devices to help users connect to the world around them. The StarLink Edge accessories connect any of their wireless hearing aid models to external audio devices like a television, speaker or remote microphone. The new StarLink Edge TV Streamer uses LE Bluetooth to directly connect to Edge AI hearing aids.

Starkey also makes specialized earmolds for wearers with unique needs including musicians, newscasters and pilots, as well as custom hearing protection for hunters and industrial applications. Their SoundGear device allows users to hear clearly while still providing protection from harmful loud noises.
