Starkey Edge AI 24 is the high-end of the new line of Edge AI hearing aids by Starkey. It is an intelligent blend of advanced Artificial Intelligence, strong and impressive connectivity, and health-tracking features, all in a sleek and versatile design that fits your lifestyle.

Edge AI 24 is based on the hardware, the G2 Neuro Processor, the first built-in neural processing unit (NPU) in a hearing aid, which mimics the activity of your brain as it processes sound. It is an ever-studying system that analyzes your surroundings, categorizes complex soundscapes, and adapts to provide you with clearer speech, reduce the amount of listening fatigue, and provide you with a more natural experience of listening.

The most memorable point is Edge Mode+, an on-demand AI mode that can be enabled (through the My Starkey app or a tap) at a time that you require it the most (such as in a noisy restaurant, at a crowded event, or at a busy cafe).  This makes it suitable in extremely noisy environments such as restaurants, crowded events, or busy cafes, where you can control it on demand.

In terms of connectivity, Starkey Edge AI 24 is also future-proof: it utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio, is Auracast-compatible, and it could stream phone calls, music, and even public broadcast audio (where Auracast is supported) with ease. You can call, play music, and even listen to the radio in the future, with ease.

The battery life is great, particularly on the rechargeable ones: in the RIC RT model, you can have up to 51 hours of battery life on a full charge.  This makes it a good companion during long hours or during traveling, or when you do not feel like charging your batteries every now and then.

There is also in-built health and wellness monitoring in Starkey Edge AI 24 and 3D sensors to track your activity, fall detection, and even guide you through balance assessment exercises using the My Starkey app. , making it not only a hearing aid but a wellness device.

Strengths: one of them is durability: the hearing aid will be constructed using Pro8 HydraShield (8 layers of protection) and is IP68 water and dustproof, which is tough enough to be worn anywhere in difficult conditions every day.

You can use program switching, volume control, and get Edge Mode+ settings on the My Starkey app to control things. It can also be controlled on an Apple Watch, which is quite convenient in situations when your phone is not at hand. .
