👂 Introduction to Starkey Genesis AI 20 Hearing Aids
Launched in October 2023, the Starkey Genesis AI 20 hearing aids replace the previous Evolv AI range and offer advanced performance across several models. Available in Receiver in Canal (RIC-RT), microRIC-R, rechargeable, and custom In-Ear options, these hearing aids incorporate Neuro Sound Technology, which processes sound at an impressive 80 million times per hour. This helps to improve clarity, sensitivity to soft sounds, and reduces listening effort.
With a new processing chip, speed and memory have been significantly improved, offering superior performance in a variety of listening environments. The Genesis AI 20 also features extended battery life of up to 51 hours on a single charge, along with a compact, redesigned look. Although it doesn’t include some advanced features of the Genesis AI 24, such as additional channels and enhanced noise reduction, it remains a reliable choice for those seeking style, comfort, and high performance in their hearing aids. 🌟
⚡ Starkey Genesis AI 20 Hearing Aid’s Neuro Sound Technology
The Neuro Sound Technology in the Genesis AI 20 hearing aids replicates the way the brain processes sound, helping to fill in the gaps caused by hearing loss. With 80 million adjustments per hour, this technology ensures:
- Enhanced clarity in speech and sounds

- Reduced listening effort for more natural hearing
Thanks to the updated processing chip, which now has five times more computational memory and ten times more non-volatile memory, wearers will experience a faster, more efficient sound processing, leading to a clearer, more natural listening experience. 🧠💡
