Starkey’s AI-Powered Flagship
Starkey launched its new flagship hearing aid platform, Omega AI, in late 2025. The release builds on Starkey’s reputation for pushing the boundaries of what hearing aids can do, blending traditional hearing technology with smart, connected features.
What’s new?
Starkey tends to release new hearing aids faster than most leading manufacturers, and Omega AI arrives just one year after Edge AI. From the outside, the two look nearly identical. The real changes are under the hood, with updates focused on sound processing and intelligent features.
- Omega AI introduces a new processing chip and expands how AI is used inside the device. Instead of only cleaning up sound, AI now helps steer the onboard directional microphones in real time, adapting more naturally to your environment.
- Starkey also used this launch to improve durability. The devices were already rated IP68, but they can now withstand even more moisture and exposure to the elements.
- One feature we especially love is the new AI smart assistant. You can access it through the app or with a simple tap on the hearing aids. It can change programs, adjust volume, or even set reminders, which then play directly through your hearing aids. It’s genuinely useful and surprisingly intuitive.
- Another standout feature is Edge Mode+. This is a situational tool you can activate in the app that scans your environment and creates a custom program on the spot. We’ve found it to be particularly helpful in the toughest listening environments, where standard programs sometimes fall short.
Styles and Fit Options
Edge AI is available in a range of styles, including:
- A mini receiver-in-canal (RIC) model for maximum discretion
- A larger RIC version with longer battery life (up to 51 hours per charge).
- The larger RIC version also includes telecoil capabilities.
- A RIC with disposable 312 batteries
- Several in-ear options, including custom-molded styles that fit fully inside the ear
Highlights
- 🔋 Up to 51 hours of battery life
- 🧠 New health-tracking features, including a balance assessment
- 🎧 Always-on Edge Mode with optional Edge Plus for noisy environments
- 📶 Updated Bluetooth 5.3 with support for Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast
- 👂 Same discreet form factor as previous generations
- 🇺🇸 The only American-based manufacturer among the global “Big 5”
Who Is Edge AI Best For?
Starkey may be the smallest of the Big 5 hearing aid manufacturers, but it’s earned a loyal following among early adopters and tech-savvy users. If you're looking for professionally fit hearing aids with a full suite of smart features, Omega AI should be on your shortlist.
