Meet Starkey Omega AI
Starkey’s Flagship Hearing Aid
Starkey launched Omega AI in October 2025 as its current flagship hearing aid. The technology represents Starkey’s biggest leap forward to date. AI drives sound processing and adapts as you move through your day. For a closer look, see our Omega AI deep dive.
What Makes Omega AI Stand Out?
-
Omega AI introduces four breakthrough technologies you will not find in any other hearing aid.
- G3 Gen AI Neuro Processor: Powers a deep neural network purpose-built for hearing in real-world environments.
- DNN 360 Directionality: The world’s first deep neural network-powered directionality system, processing sound from every direction at once.
- Push to Talk: An industry-first feature that lets you press your hearing aid to capture a conversation in noise.
- Auracast and Google Fast Pair: Starkey added both in January 2026. You can now stream from airports, gyms, and theaters with one tap.
Each feature reduces the work it takes to follow a conversation.
Rechargeable and Waterproof
Omega AI runs up to 51 hours on a single charge. The aids resist water up to 1 meter. Sweat, rain, and splashes will not slow you down.
What that means in real life:
- All-day battery for active lifestyles
- Sweat-proof during workouts and hot summer days
- Splash-proof for rain, kitchens, and bathrooms
- Quick top-up charging for last-minute outings
Most patients charge overnight and forget about them all day.
Health-Boosting Features
Starkey pioneered health tracking inside hearing aids. Omega AI extends that legacy with sensors and tools no other hearing aid offers.
- Fall detection and alerts: The aids sense a fall and send a message to your designated contacts.
- Respiratory rate monitoring: An industry-first sensor that tracks breathing throughout the day.
- Step and activity tracking: Counts steps, active minutes, and movement.
- Cognitive engagement scoring: Measures conversation time as an indicator of brain health.
- Balance Builder: Guided at-home exercises that support balance and reduce fall risk.
These tools turn your hearing aids into a quiet wellness companion.
My Starkey App: A Smarter Way to Hear
Tap. Speak. Hear Better.
Omega AI adds hands-free controls that go beyond a simple tap on the device.
- Push to Talk: Press the hearing aid to speak directly into it. Only Starkey offers this feature today.
- Edge Mode+: Tap to activate instant speech focus in challenging environments.
- Audio streaming: One tap answers calls or pauses music without touching your phone.
These controls add real convenience for busy days and crowded rooms.
Available Models in the Omega AI Line
Omega AI comes in styles and tiers for every kind of hearing loss and lifestyle.
- Omega AI RIC RT: Rechargeable receiver-in-canal with telecoil
- Omega AI custom in-the-ear: Discreet rechargeable fit for those who prefer in-the-ear styling
- Premium to essential tiers: Performance levels that fit your environment and budget

Starkey Edge AI: Still A Powerful Choice
Starkey launched Edge AI in October 2024 as its flagship until Omega arrived. Edge AI remains one of the most capable hearing aids on the market. Patients who want strong AI at a friendlier price often choose Edge AI.

Edge AI runs on Starkey’s G2 Neuro Processor with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit.

Key Highlights:
