The Edge AI’s Technological Advancements

  • Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio: It’s the next generation of Bluetooth audio which consumes less power, and offers a number of improvements over classic Bluetooth audio. Edge AI hearing aids pair more easily, connect more quickly, stream more robustly, and are Auracast™ ready, allowing users to share audio with multiple devices nearby.
  • G2 Neuro Processor:It is a chip in Starkey hearing aids that functions like the brain’s auditory cortex, featuring a fully integrated neural processing unit (NPU). This advanced AI technology classifies soundscapes, enhances speech, and reduces noise in real time, providing a more natural listening experience.
  • Neuro Sound Technology 2.0: It is a sound experience system that mimics natural brain processes by analysing acoustic data, motion, and listening intent. It operates in three areas: Sensory, which maps the listener’s environment; Subconscious, which manages tasks automatically in the background; and Conscious, which provides the user with greater control and flexibility over their hearing experience.
