Introducing Starkey Edge AI Hearing Aids at our St. Louis Practice

The Edge AI hearing aids use smart technology to help you hear more naturally. At their core is Starkey's new G2 processor that works with your brain's hearing center to help you hear better. This processor continuously analyzes sounds in your environment, focusing on what's most important while reducing unwanted noise.

When you're wearing Edge AI hearing aids, they're constantly working to help you hear your best. They map out the sounds around you and make automatic adjustments as your environment changes. You don't have to fiddle with settings when moving from a quiet room to a noisy space - the hearing aids adapt on their own to keep sounds clear and comfortable.

For our St. Louis patients, this means better hearing whether you're dining at a busy restaurant on The Hill, enjoying a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium, or spending time with family in your Kirkwood home. The Edge AI's ability to adapt to different environments makes it particularly well-suited for the active lifestyle many of our patients enjoy throughout the greater St. Louis area.

The More You Wear Them, The Better They Work

One of the best things about Edge AI is that it learns your preferences over time. Using the My Starkey app on your phone, you can make small adjustments to how the hearing aids work in different situations. The more you use them, the better they get at automatically giving you the sound quality you prefer. This learning ability means each pair of Edge AI hearing aids becomes uniquely tuned to its wearer, much like how a comfortable pair of shoes molds to your feet. Our patients often tell us they forget they're wearing hearing aids after a few weeks because the sound feels so natural and personalized.

Clear Sound When You Need It Most

We know that hearing in noisy places like restaurants or family gatherings can be challenging. Edge AI is particularly good at helping in these situations. The hearing aids can tell the difference between speech and background noise, focusing on the voices you want to hear. If noise suddenly gets louder, you can use the Edge Mode+ feature in the My Starkey app to help you focus even better on conversations.

Making Life Easier

Beyond just helping you hear better, Edge AI includes practical features that make daily life easier:

• Battery lasts up to 51 hours on a single charge Waterproof design on rechargeable models
• Easy connection to phones and other devices
• Health tracking features
• Fall detection with alerts to family members
• Balance checking tools Works with Apple Watch for easy adjustments

The My Starkey app turns your phone into a simple control center for your hearing aids. You can adjust volume, change programs, find lost hearing aids, and even have remote appointments with us when needed. The extended battery life is particularly valuable for active lifestyles, giving you enough power for a full weekend trip without needing to recharge. Many of our patients appreciate the peace of mind that comes with the fall detection feature, which can automatically notify family members if help is needed.

Styles to Fit Your Needs

We know everyone has different preferences when it comes to hearing aids. That's why we offer Edge AI in several styles:

If you prefer a hearing aid that sits behind your ear, we have three options:

• A standard receiver-in-canal (RIC RT)
• A mini version for those wanting something smaller (mRIC R)
• A battery-powered option (RIC 312)

For those who prefer hearing aids that fit in their ear, we offer:

• A full in-the-ear style (ITE R)
• A smaller in-the-canal option (ITC/HS R)
• Our smallest completely-in-canal style (CIC)

Staying Connected

Edge AI makes it simple to connect to your everyday devices. The hearing aids link easily to smartphones and other electronics, letting you stream phone calls, music, and other audio right to your ears. For professionals, this means clearer audio during video conferences and the ability to seamlessly switch between phone calls and in-person conversations. The hearing aids can even automatically adjust their settings based on whether you're in a meeting room or working in an open office space. Using the My Starkey app, you can adjust your hearing aids whenever you need to. If you ever misplace them, the app can help you find them. And if you need help between visits, we can make adjustments remotely through the app.

Real Results From Real People

What matters most is how hearing aids work in real life. Our patients who wear Edge AI tell us they're reconnecting with family in ways they hadn't for years. At Greentree Hearing & Audiology, John Scarlas and our team use real ear measurement technology to verify that each hearing aid is providing the exact amount of amplification prescribed for your specific hearing loss. This scientific approach to fitting, combined with our expertise in programming Edge AI, helps ensure optimal performance. They're joining conversations at family dinners again. They're hearing their grandchildren clearly. They're getting back to their favorite activities with confidence. These are the kind of results that make a real difference in daily life.
