Starkey Edge AI 24

Starkey Edge AI 24

Launched November 2024, Starkey Edge AI’s processor offers faster and more efficient sound management, expanding its ability to handle complex sound environments with improved dynamic range and a lower noise floor. This refinement enhances overall sound clarity, especially by isolating speech from background noise through its advanced Speech Presence Predictor, which more accurately detects and filters non-speech sounds. Additionally, the optimized power efficiency of Edge AI’s processing extends battery life across diverse listening modes, offering longer-lasting performance for users moving between different environments.

• Advanced Features: While all Edge AI models include core features, higher models like the 2400 offer additional AI-based sound enhancements, advanced noise reduction, and more customizable options to suit specific hearing needs.
• Bluetooth and Streaming: Each model supports Bluetooth, though the Edge AI 24 provides the highest quality and most stable streaming, especially valuable for those who frequently rely on Bluetooth connections.

Summary: The Edge AI 24 is Starkey's most advanced model, designed for individuals with demanding hearing requirements in varied environments. The 16 and 20 models offer quality support for simpler listening needs, with the 20 providing a balanced choice between advanced features and essential hearing support.
