Not to be confused with the old Edge AI mode on their last gen products! This is a whole product called Edge AI, and it comes with a dedicated “Neural Processing Unit (NPU)” for “noise management”. I don’t see the word “denoise” anywhere, but I’ll find out exactly what they mean by noise management.

I’ll let you know.
My audio knows I’m highly critical.
This is the third set of Starkey she’s letting me try.

Not to hijack this thread, but may I ask what your impressions were of the Genesis AI?
You have struck gold there…

I generally don’t get any and that’s with the feedback manager off.
I have closed domes.
PS I know what you meant.

She is persistent.
Tried to sell me the Evolv and Genesis.
They were ok but I had issues with noise management and wind.
She’s still new at this.
Learning on the job.
I told her I respect that, to a point.
I’m hopping these have revolved their problems.
The price will also be a factor.
I’m not going to spend a fortune.
I just got my AI Genesis a couple of month ago. Sigh. I knew they were already over a year old, so ancient in tech years. But then if you always wait for the next update, you’ll never get anything.

You’re absolutely right. For what it’s worth, as an independent audiologist myself, i have been very impressed with the Genesis AI and the outcomes my clients have reported to me and i have been fitting an increasing number of people with them as a result. You’ve got a great pair of aids.

Freezer man you’re hearing loss is flat out to 6000 Hz. You should buy your self a pair of apples air pod Pro two and input the autogram using iOS version 18. The AirPod Pro two has 35 DB active noise Compensation, which is what headsets had about 20 years ago
Really not an Apple person.
Can’t see myself walking around with air pods all day.
It would be interesting to try when looking at TV

Ahhhh blast! I only had my new Signature CIC which uses the Genesis chip/platform only for 4 months. And I won’t be able to switch unless I paid. Darn Starkey!
I suspect what many Genesis users have been complaining is the noise reduction fluttering. For example my experience is when I am in loud places such as the supermarket. The freezers/fridges and the loud fans; the sound from these reduce but whenever there is another loud sound such as a bang, the noise reduction algorithm turns off. Then noise reduction returns but flutters again.
I suspect they could not fix this issue and instead made a new chip. I haven’t had any new firmware updates so Genesis will be become an obslete
How does this differ from the original Genesis AI Edge?
Great video:
Phonak Sphere has competition!

Exploring Starkey’s Edge AI Hearing Aids: Always-On DNN, LE Audio, Health Features and more
Abrahams summary of Starkey Edge AI
These are the best Starkey has ever made in my opinion. I have worn many over the last 20 yrs and these have a very clear sound and though I am hearing more of the noise I am not having any problems delineating speech when talking to someone. And I have been in some very noise places. And as Edge is always on you now have the ability to make it work more aggressively if need be with 3 other settings for edge mode.

Phonak Sphere has 2 chips which work together whilst Starkey Edge AI has 1. I think I read from users using the Sphere drains the battery if using their AI function? The starkey video they say the Starkey doesn’t? Battery is important!

It will get better! Give yourself time. I experienced the same when I upgraded my old Starkey’s to the current Signature line-up. I am bang on target gain and I was missing so much. Bare in mind, I only have my left ear which has severe loss and flat loss from 1.4k and right ear is profound. One-to-one conversations and small group speech understanding has vastly improved!
