Starkey hearing aid models, prices, and reviews

Okay hello, my name is Mike H., I got the Starkey Evolv hearing aids, it’s probably been 3 months ago, something like that, and so far, I have no complaints. This is my fourth set of hearing aids in my life and I can say that these are the best ones I’ve ever had. I did choose the battery over the rechargeable, because I wanted the ability to take spare batteries with me when I go places and if the charge runs out I just swap out the batteries and good to go, and they’re really not that expensive as far as I’m concerned. Got them in, can’t even tell they’re there can you? That’s one thing I really like about them, they do a good job of fitting behind the ears and in my case, I chose the hard mold insert, the last pair of hearing aids I’d had that’s what I used and I’m used to it- it worked fine for me. Like I say I have no complaints with these, like any hearing aids, they’re still not perfect when there’s a lot of background noise. But that’s the nature of the best so to speak. I love the fact that they’re Bluetooth, I can do all my phone calls through my hearing aids, makes it very easy, gives me two hands to work while I’m talking. Also the adjustments on the app on my phone allow me a lot of control to fine tune how they’re doing if I am in a noisy environment and then those settings get applied permanently and all I have to do is click the mode on my hearing aid and change to whatever I need. Don’t have much else to say, again I’m pleased with them, and I hope you’ll trust this company, I was leery of ordering something over the internet and on a phone call, but they came through with everything they said they would do and the hearing aids are as good as they said they would be, can’t ask for any more than that. Good luck.

Hello my name is Sam S., I live in Greenville, SC, 72 years old, retired guy, fairly active, and I have had problems with my hearing for a long time. My children and now my grandchildren will vouch for that. They have long wanted me to do something about it and I tried about 4 years ago but just didn’t feel good with the results, the noise was amplified, although speech was, the noise was too, so it just didn’t fill the bill and I turned them back in and got a refund. So fast forward about four years and I went to an audiologist, got my hearing tested, and talked about getting a real high quality hearing aid this time around and with the help of ZipHearing I was able to do that. I got a pair of Starkey Evolv AI 2400 hearing aids which are a premium hearing aid, they have a lot of advanced features, they’re very new, they just came on the market last year, and that’s what I wanted. I wanted the best technology that I could possibly afford this time around and I feel like I’ve gotten it. The model I have is styled with a receiver in the ear, and the piece behind the ears, so far I haven’t had anybody you know say anything about “oh you wear hearing aids.” So it’s nice that they’re kind of invisible. I will say that I love these, this particular product because it’s got a lot of artificial intelligence, the latest technology that seems to be everywhere in our lives. These things will analyze the sound around me in a restaurant or some other public place and help to adjust the background level noise down, and then I can, with a few push buttons on their app, raise the speech level up and hear soft speakers, even my grandchildren. So I love it. They’re made for iPhone and other Apple products, so they connect flawlessly with my iPhone, they’re rechargeable which was another thing I wanted for sure, and after looking at my list of things that I was wanting when I went out to get these, they have like I said the great noise reduction and they help you hear speech better, but I also have tinnitus, however it’s pronounced, I have the ringing in my ears that I’ve had for 15 years. Kinda got used to it, but with these new Starkey hearing aids, I don’t notice it as much because they have a setting where you can actually get a white noise sent into the hearing aids it just is enough to overwhelm that ringing in my ears all the time, so that’s been great. They’re, you know the downside, you know they’re advanced technology so they are a little complicated, but I’ve had great support from the audiologist, Starkey has been good as well, I’ve called them, their tech support department a couple of times and asked questions, so I feel like I’m getting there. I’ve only had them now for about, less than 2 months, so you know there’s a time period involved here where you’re getting used to all that technology in your ears. I have a recharger that sits by the desk during the day or on the nightstand at nighttime. They will, I think in the near future, have a device that will stream your television signal into your ears as well. All in all, I like the product a lot, I’ve even gone so far as to get my wife in with the audiologist and get her Costco hearing aids replaced with Starkey hearing aids, so she’ll have those in place very shortly, and I’d recommend them to anyone. As far as the experience with Zip I found it to be very good. I was a little doubtful, I thought maybe if they could save me that much money I’d probably get less service from the audiologist but that was not the case, the care I got was excellent and I saved a good deal of money. I found out about ZipHearing from HearingTracker.com and I’ll put in that little commercial at the end. They’re a website that tracks technology and just basically anything to do with the hearing aid industry and I read a lot about hearing aids before I bought these, and I don’t know that everyone would do as much reading as I did but you can’t go wrong looking at that website, HearingTracker.com. But again, great product, great price, really glad that I did what I did, thanks.

Hi folks my name is John, I live in Sarasota, FL, I am 74 and 3 quarters years old. I have needed hearing aids for the last 4 or 5, maybe 6 years. Been tested a whole bunch of times, and finally at the urging of my wonderful wife I finally said okay I’m gonna get with it. Because a bunch of my friends from high school and other associates have them and so they have a bunch of experience and I started looking about 3, 4 years ago and the prices were 7, 8 thousand, all crazy stuff, there’s kind of a hearing aid shell game going on, so I went online and found the website for the guys I’m making this video for and they recommended me to a great company here in Florida. I got the, I’m gonna show them to you, my little Starkey hearing aids, I have the in ear hearing aids, they are absolutely wonderful, nobody even knows I have them, and the happiest person on the planet is my wife, because before I got these hearing aids, when we were watching TV I would have to have the closed captioning on and then I bought a set of noise dampening earphones, so when we were watching TV together we couldn’t even have a discussion. These hearing aids have basically changed her life as well as mine, I didn’t know my car turn signals made noise until I had my hearing aids in, so, the benefits are life altering, and the only complaint, it’s not really a complaint but the only thing I would say is they make my ears itch a little bit every now and then, but other than that, the service I got from all the people involved with my purchase are absolutely spectacular. You know, it just, Jeff and his guys are great, they work with great people in your market, so check them out, I couldn’t more highly recommend them, and they also worked out to be very affordable, I have a bunch of different features in mine for restaurants, movie theaters, I couldn’t hear the dialog, now I hear it and I gotta tone my hearing aids down a little bit, but absolutely couldn’t be happier. Hope you guys take advantage of it, have a great day, really appreciate your help, thanks.

Hello my name is Scott and I’m from Freedom, PA and I’m here to talk to you today, to review the Starkey Picasso in-the-ear, i2400 hearing aids. I’ve been wearing hearing aids now for the last 27 years and I really was self conscious about people seeing stuff in my ears, but the in-the-ear, makes it very unnoticeable. I like the hearing aids, I like the technology, with the Starkey hearing aids. Again, there’s so many things you can do with the hearing aid as I could never do before. I have a little button on my hearing aid where I can just push it, I can hit normal, I can hit crowd, I can hit television if I’m on the television, it automatically changes if I’m on the telephone. Just the technology in the last 27 years has been unbelievable with the Starkey. They’re US made, they take a 312 battery, I’m getting consistently 7 to 8 days on a battery, and again they’re just little batteries. I recommend them 100%, I’m very happy with Starkey, and I’m sure if I’m happy you’ll be definitely happy with them. Thank you

Hi, my name is Steve, I’m making this little video to kinda show you what my experience has been with hearing aids. I’m 72 years old and as far as hearing loss I’ve probably had it for some time but, these hearing aids now I finally just made the leap to get these, in, I guess it was late November of 2019, so they’re only what 3 months old or something. But my experience has been positive so far. The brand I chose is Starkey, and I’ll show you, I’ve got them on right now and I’ll just swing this thing around here and hopefully you can see them over my ear. So you can see they’re pretty discreet, you can hardly see that they’re there. I wouldn’t care if you could see them or not, because I need them, but anyway, and I’ll take these off in a minute and show you what they look like without being installed over my ear. Why did I choose this hearing aid? I chose the Starkey because of the ability to make adjustments to them on the phone app, so, it’s just handy that way. And I don’t think all of them come with that, the different brands, but this one did, and also because it’s rechargeable. Here’s the case that they come in and it’s got the little mini USB port in the back that plugs in and it holds at least a 2 or 3 day charge in it when its unplugged so I can take it with me when I’m on the road. The hearing aids are magnetized in that little rechargeable area , they fit right in there and they won't fall out. What do I like about them? They’re comfortable, good sound quality, the app is easy to use and they are rechargeable. What do I not like about it? There’s really nothing that’s bothersome. The little retention tail, and I’ll show you that when I take them off here in a second, they call it a retention tail or a sport clip that’s supposed to hold them in a little more secure, if your doing exercising. I had some trouble with that in the beginning, just getting them to stay in the position that they’re meant to be in. When I talked to Starkey about it they said, if you don’t need it to retain them and the hearing aids stay in place without it, just take them off and that’s really simple to do. Would I recommend them to a friend? Yes. When I first put them on, I was almost in tears I couldn’t believe how much I could hear with them on and how much I’d been missing over the years, so yeah I’d definitely recommend them. What is the number one piece of advice I’d give to someone that’s purchasing hearing aids? Well I went to three different providers, to see, to get tested, and the third one was the one that I found to be, the people that I felt most comfortable with. As far as ZipHearing, I placed the order through the provider that was going to fit them, and then everything worked out just fine. But I would recommend going to two or three different people to get your ears tested, your hearing tested, because you may find a better fit with one of them than with another. And the only problem I’ve ever had and it isn’t Starkeys, or any hearing aid manufacturer’s fault, but with this covid-19 and you’re wearing a mask, you have to be really careful when you’re taking the mask off so you don’t get it caught in the hearing aid and have it dislodged and come out of your ear and lose it. I’ve been real fortunate I haven’t lost anything but I have gotten them caught a couple times where they’ve come out of my ear. I’ll take them out right now and show you what they look like. Really small, I don’t know how to describe it, it’s probably about an inch long and maybe a half inch wide and maybe 3/16ths of an inch thick, but, and that little tail hanging down right here is what I’m talking about. When you put this thing on it kinda flips in your ear like a little kickstand, you curl it up and put it in the bottom of your ear, sometimes it just wants to go the wrong way for some reason, but that happened during the first month and since then I haven’t seemed to have a problem with it. I’ll take the other one off, that’s the same thing, show you what they look like just laying there, and that’s it. So hopefully the review is giving you some information that’s useful.

Hi my name is David, I live in Brooklyn New York and I am 68 years old. The hearing aids that I have are the Starkey Evolve AI 1600. They fit in the ear. They have a little bulb that fits in the ear and the main part fits over the ear. And they go in very easily. 6-7 years ago, maybe 8 even, my family started telling me that I was having trouble hearing. I went to an ENT specialist in 2018, he did a hearing test, he told me that in fact, I have trouble hearing women, by which he meant that I don’t hear high frequencies that I could use hearing aids. I didn’t do anything for awhile. I went to Costco a year or two later. I got another hearing test, still didn’t do anything. Had a third hearing test with the ENT that I’d seen for ear issues. Still didn’t do anything. The pandemic came, and I started thinking more seriously about getting them. I got a flier in the mail back in October from an audiology clinic in Brooklyn for a free exam. I went for another free exam. They turned out to be somebody from Starkey who was selling their hearing aids. The representative who I liked a lot gave me a pair to try while we were talking, I thought they were very helpful. He did say that the discount that was available would only be for another day or two, I’d have to buy them quickly, which didn’t sit well with me. I went online, found Ziphearing, found the same pair of hearing aids that the guy wanted to sell me and they were $1600 less expensive on Ziphearing. So I was happy with that. And when I found out they had a local audiologist I decided to go ahead and purchase them. The starkey evolve ai. What I like about them is, for instance, I had gone to see a Broadway show 2-3 weeks before I went for that last audiologist exam and I probably missed 15-20% of the dialogue in the show. A week or so after I bought the hearing aids I went to see another broadway show, also dialogue and I heard everything. I thought that was great. One of the things I like about these aids, is that they have different settings. They have normal, I have 3 that I use. Normal, restaurant, and auditorium. When I went to the broadway show I used auditorium and I think that was very helpful. About a week after I got the hearing aids I also went to a noisy restaurant with my wife who sat opposite of me, kinda farther apart it was a big table and for the first time in a long time I was about to hear her throughout the entire meal. The last point I would make is I am regretful I didn't get the hearing aids sooner because I had health insurance prior to medicare at 65 which I believe would have paid me back substantially much of the cost of the hearing aids but once I went on medicare they only pay a very limited amount reimbursement so if you're getting close to 65 and you have good health insurance you might consider getting them before you turn 65. Other than that I have been happy with ziphearing and the starkeys and thank you for your time.
