The Edge AI hearing aids feature the G2 Neuro Processor with an integrated neural processing unit (NPU). This processor works in three distinct areas: Sensory Processing, which maps the listener's environment through acoustic inputs, motion detection, and listening intent analysis; Background Processing, which continuously manages sound through Sound Manager; and Active Control, which provides users with direct control and customization options.

Performance Improvements

The Edge AI platform brings major advances in hearing technology, delivering 30% higher accuracy in speech identification and a 6dB reduction in low-level noise. Users benefit from an impressive 51-hour battery life, including streaming time, along with improved classification of multi-talker environments. The devices offer waterproof protection up to 1 meter for rechargeable models, maintaining a clean, pure signal throughout use.

Connectivity

Edge AI incorporates Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio streaming, offering reduced power consumption and faster device pairing. The system creates more stable connections with Auracast compatibility, integrated seamlessly with the My Starkey mobile app.

My Starkey App Integration

Through the My Starkey app, users gain access to comprehensive control features:

• Direct hearing aid adjustments with Apple Watch compatibility
