The Starkey Edge AI 12 is a smart, AI-enhanced hearing aid that introduces the next level of sound processing, high-level connectivity, and health-tracking to daily hearing aid use. The edge AI 12, which is based on the Edge AI platform by Starkey, provides users with an intelligent hearing experience that is both powerful and adaptive, able to differentiate between speech and noise, which is similar to the functioning of the auditory cortex of the brain, to provide better clarity and a reduced listening fatigue.
Key Highlights
- Smart, real-time sound processing: G2 Neuro Processor (which has a built-in neural processing unit) classifies soundscapes, enhances speech, and removes background noise in real-time.
- Edge Mode+: Customizable on-demand AI optimization (switched on with either the app or a double-tap) provides better control in demanding listening situations - enhancing clarity of speech or minimizing unpleasant noise in real-time.
