My experience has been quite positive

Review by: Nick from NJ

Model: Starkey Genesis AI 24 RIC RT

Bought: Apr 2023

Summary: Nick reviews the Starkey Genesis AI 24 hearing aids, emphasizing his personal experience as a user with mild sensorineural hearing loss. He highlights the aids' effective noise reduction in busy environments, Bluetooth connectivity, and long-lasting battery. Despite their comfort and ergonomic design, Nick notes the need for multiple adjustments by a hearing specialist for optimal performance and mentions minor issues with dome material and Bluetooth limitations for non-iPhone users. He appreciates the intuitive MyStarkey app, especially the Edge Mode for enhanced noise cancellation. While mentioning some drawbacks like the audio streaming quality for music, Nick overall recommends the Starkey Genesis AI 24s for their advanced features and design, advising users to work closely with their audiologists for the best experience.

I really like them

Review by: Al from CA

Model: Starkey Genesis AI 24 mRIC R

Bought: Nov 2023

Summary: Al discusses his experience with Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids following an acoustic neuroma tumor diagnosis and high-frequency hearing loss. He chose Starkey Genesis for their AI technology and comfortable fit after viewing online reviews. Al received a custom hearing aid for the side affected by the tumor and a standard one for the other ear, along with a rechargeable case. He underwent a hearing test that confirmed his low hearing on one side, leading to fully enclosed hearing aids tailored for different activities like jogging, driving with a quality sound system, and watching television. Despite the high cost, Al appreciates the quality, small size, and the service he received, noting the significant improvement in his hearing and the discreetness of the devices.

Starkey Genesis AI

The hearing aids are very comfortable and the sound quality is amazing. After wearing hearing aids for over 15 years I actually hear everything that is being said clearly. The price is the only con but you can’t really put a price on being able to hear.

Will be worth the time

When I received my Genesis AI hearing aids and put them in my ears at the fitting, I was impressed with how powerful they were. These really did a great job at amplifying the surrounding sounds and pumping them into my ears. These were so powerful, in fact, that the plosives and “s” sounds from speech were overwhelming. However, that was an easy fix for my hearing specialist. He made a modification in his software and the problem was solved! I was also able to work with the specialist and make some custom programs (presets) to use in the new MyStarkey app. I need to emphasize this, this app is incredible! Very simple to use, and highly intuitive.

I love the charger that these hearing aids came with! It has a closing lid and uses magnets to hold the aids in place while charging. I also heard there is an upgraded charger that has an internal battery for charging on-the-go, which is a huge perk for me.

I was not a huge fan of the audio quality when streaming music, it was terribly thin-sounding and very washed out. However, the MFI bluetooth connection made the setup and pairing process a breeze! A few taps on the iPhone screen and I was fully connected and ready to go.

I feel like I will need to make a few more trips to my specialist to truly dial in my perfect settings and preferences, but it will 100 percent be worth the time and effort.

Starkey Genesis 24

I have been an occasional hearing aid wearer for about seven years, wearing them primarily for television and social events. I recently had my original aids recalibrated and saw that it was obvious that my overall hearing had degraded substantially. Because of that realization, I made two decisions. The first was to become a full time wearer and the second was to upgrade my technology. I had heard about the brand new Genesis and decided to give the latest and greatest a try. My first attempt, as usual, was the RIC style. Unfortunately, Starkey sent me the miniRics instead and after using them for a bit, decided I wanted the full size. Grant at ZipHearing and Starkey both reacted very quickly after I called to inform them of the error, and I received the correct ones in just a couple of days. After some further wearing, I was having a bit of trouble with my constant on-off of my eyeglasses and thus decided on trying the custom molded ITE style. The reason I mention this is that Starkey and my Audi did a great job and the fit and comfort of these is exemplary. I will not go into the technical details about the Genesis, as there is plenty of information about that on the Web. Speaking from my experience with the Genesis, it is difficult to imagine anything better for voice cognizance improvement (within today's technology) than the Genesis. They are a huge leap forward from my original NuEar (Starkey) aids, with better clarity and control. I do not know if they are in anyway "self-learning" (or maybe it's just my brain) but they seem to get better the longer I wear them. The Genesis do have extra do-dads (fall and health monitor), which I don't care about, but may be important to some. The sound quality between the RICs and the ITEs is similar, with the only difference I could perceive due to form factor. The app is straightforward and easy to use and I had no issues at all pairing with my Samsung Android phone. All in all, I am very impressed with these hearing aids and excited to be wearing them full time now.

Quiet with superb range

The quality of these hearing aids is better than my three previous brands of aids. So quiet that you wonder if they are really "on." The clarity of sound (picking up syllables, consonants and "sh" words it extremely high. I've experienced no "squalking" when I turn the sound higher. Especially love the ability to "up the sound" by pressing one button on the aid. At my first checkup, I'm going to ask if the aids can set deeper in my ear.

Very crisp sound and quality

Very crisp sound and quality. it is hands down better the my old phonak. i was thinking twice about spending the money for it but i am glad i bought the genesis a24

Long overdue decision to get hearing aids

Much improved hearing. Long delayed decision to get. Sound quality is excellent. No loud feedback that I’ve heard with other brands from family and friends. I have rechargeable model. Plenty of battery life remaining after 30 hour flight overseas. Stigma of having aids was in my mind. Almost unnoticeable in appearance. Programs for restaurant, outdoors and crowds, along with “edge” are a big help.

Above my expectations

The sound quality on my new hearing aids is really great. Above my expectations. The ability to adjust to the environment, and enhance voices is a real positive. The rechargeable battery is a very nice feature.

The sound quality is very good. They fit better than my last pair (different brand). The app is easy to use and it works well with my IPhone 14. They only minor issue is switching from my phone to my IPad and then back. It’s a nuisance to gave to keep turning the blue tooth off and on when I want to switch devices. But, a real positive and one of the main reasons for choosing Starkey Genesis is the long battery life. I have not had them die on me once. My old instruments used to die around 9 pm every night. So happy with these!

Common questions about Starkey Genesis AI hearing aids

Bluetooth / ConnectivityRechargeabilityDisposable BatteriesControls/AppsMiscellaneous

Choose questions category:

Can this hearing aid be paired directly to my Bluetooth TV?

No. To stream audio from the TV you'll need the TV Streamer accessory.

Does this hearing aid allow for hands-free phone calls?

If you have an iPhone 11 or newer, running on iOS 15.1 or newer, and you have any Genesis AI model other than the IIC NW or CIC NW models, then you'll be able to talk on the phone hands-free. If you have any other phone or operating system, hands-free talking on the phone requires the Remote Mic + accessory. This will allow you to keep your phone in your pocket/purse, etc, and the microphone on the accessory will pick up your voice so the caller can hear you. If you have the IIC NW or CIC NW models, neither of these will allow hands-free calling, as they are not compatible with the Remote MIC + accessory.

Is this hearing aid Bluetooth compatible?

Genesis AI is Made for iPhone, which means it can connect directly with iPhones to stream music, phone calls, and more. Genesis AI is also compatible with the new Android protocol, Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA), allowing direct streaming from select Android devices with Android 10 or later and Bluetooth 5.0. If your phone isn't directly compatible with Genesis AI, you can still get Bluetooth functionality via the Remote Microphone +.

How will I know when my battery needs to be charged?

When the battery is low, you'll hear a spoken notification through the hearing aid that says "battery." Then, 10-15 minutes later, you'll hear a long tone, and the hearing aid will die shortly after that and will require charging before use.

What if I'm on-the-go and my battery dies?

The battery should last long enough that this isn't an issue. But if your battery does quit, you have a few options. First, if you have the Starlink Charger with you, it features an on-board turbo charging feature for three hours of use time in just seven minutes of charging, but it must be plugged into an external power source (i.e, wall outlet) to charge the hearing aids. If you have the Starlink Premium Charger, it'll offer the same turbo charging, with the added benefit that it doesn't need to be plugged into to a wall outlet to charge your hearing aids, because it has its own on-board battery for on-the-go charging. If you use the custom (in-ear) Genesis hearing aids, you're able to charge your hearing aids on-the-go if you get the Premium Custom Charger (which has its own battery on-board), but it does not have the turbo charging features— that's a feature only available in the mRIC R and RIC R T model hearing aids.

How many hours a day do the batteries last?

It depends on the model, and the figures that follow include a few hours per day of Bluetooth streaming use. RIC RT: 51 hrs, mRIC R: 33 hours, ITC R and ITE R: 33 hours.

What is the lifespan of the rechargeable batteries?

Your battery will last a minimum of 3 years. After that point, your Starkey provider will send your hearing aid to Starkey for a battery replacement. We expect most providers to charge between $150-$250 per device for this service.

How long does it take to get a full charge?

The hearing aids will be fully charged in less than 3.5 hrs, providing 24 hours of power.

Does the charger include a dehumidifier?

None of the Genesis AI chargers include a dehumidifer. If you're concerned about moisture impacting your hearing aids, you may want to purchase small desiccant that you can put inside your charger.

How will I know when it's time to change the battery?

How long do the batteries last?

The batteries on the IIC and CIC models will usually need to be changed about once every 3-5 days.

Are the batteries hard to change?

The size 10 batteries which power the small CIC and IIC models can be tricky for some people to handle, and they require pretty good dexterity, especially with the IIC model. If you're concerned about this we'd recommend getting the larger and rechargeable ITC R model, so changing batteries isn't necessary.

How do I turn this hearing aid on and off?

If you use a model that takes disposable batteries, simply open the battery door to turn the hearing aid off, and when you close it, the aid will turn on. If you use a rechargeable model, the aid will automatically turn off when you put it back in it's charger, and will turn on when you take it out. To turn a rechargeable aid off manually, just press and hold the pushbutton for 3 seconds. Repeat to turn it back on.

Does the app have a “Find My Hearing Aid” feature?

Yes, but it in order for this feature work, your phone and hearing aids must've been paired before the hearing aids were lost. If they were, and you lose your hearing aids, the app will tell you show you a location on a map, where the hearing aids were last connected to the phone.

How can I control this hearing aid, and which settings can I control?

Using either the onboard rockerswitch, push button, or the handheld remote, you can control the volume and program, and on some models, "Edge Mode." You can also activate Edge Mode using the My Starkey app, and you also have access to an equalizer that lets you adjust the base and treble of the hearing aids. Note that the CIC NW and IIC models cannot be controlled via the My Starkey App, and the IIC model does not have room for an onboard push button. The only way to control the IIC model is via Starkey's T2 app, and via that app you can control the volume and program of the hearing aids. The CIC NW can be controlled via a push button, or the T2 app, or a combination of both.

How do I activate Edge Mode?

With the 24 tech level, Edge Mode can be activated by double "air tapping" near the near the hearing aid, via a push button on the hearing aid, or through the My Starkey app. With the 20 and 16 tech levels, Edge Mode can only be activated via the My Starkey app.

Which tech level is the IIC available in?

All levels except the 12 level.

Can I get this hearing aid with a telecoil?

The RIC RT and RIC 312 models come with a telecoil, and the ITE R model can have a telecoil added (optional).

Is this hearing aid CROS compatible?

The RIC RT model is compatible with the CROS RIC.

Which models have Edge Mode?

All models with a tech level of 16 and above have Edge Mode, and all models have except the IIC NW and CIC NW have Edge Mode .

Genesis AI vs Evolv AI

Genesis AI differs from Evolv AI in just about every way that a new generation hearing aid can differ from its predecessor.

Starting with what's on the inside, Genesis AI features a new Neuro Processor, which Starkey boasts is the smallest and most powerful processor in the industry.

The processor is 4x faster than Starkey's previous processor and has 6x more transistors, and remarkably, operates even more efficiently than the previous processor, which means better battery life—more on that below.

Most notably, the Neuro Processor has an on-board Deep Neural Network (DNN) accelerator engine that mimics the cerebral cortex of the human brain. Utilizing complex pattern recognition with advanced machine learning technology, it adapts to more listening situations than ever before.

Starkey says this new processor pushes energy-efficient artificial intelligence to its limits, analyzing and automatically optimizing sound over 80 million times an hour. All of this means hearing aids that can auto-adjust themselves better, and more frequently, requiring less engagement from the wearer.

Starkey has also released all-new fitting software 'Pro Fit', which they remade from the ground up based on input from hearing professionals around the globe. Designed for efficiency, ease of use and a seamless fitting experience — from first fit to fine tuning. This means a more streamlined programming and adjustment period with Genesis AI hearing aids.

Genesis AI also features 2 new styles from Starkey, the mRIC R, and RIC RT. Both new models have lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, with the RIC RT model lasting an industry-best 51 hours on a single charge. These new RIC models feature a new exterior casing and improved water resistance as compared to Evolv AI RIC models.

Finally, Genesis AI is compatible with an all-new app, called My Starkey, and you can learn more about that app in the 'Apps & Accessories' section further down this page.

Remote, $179

Compatible with all Genesis AI models except the IIC NW and CIC NW. You probably don't need this. Most people use the app to control their hearing aids, and if not the app, then the push button on the hearing aid itself. But if neither of those suit you, this remote is a simple way to control the volume and program.
