Overview of Starkey Genesis AI CROS Hearing Aids

🆕 April 2024 Update:

In April 2024, Starkey added the Genesis AI CROS and BiCROS hearing aids to their AI platform, which debuted in October 2023. This range replaces the previous Starkey Evolv AI hearing aids, which were launched in the UK in January 2022.

The Genesis AI series brings new advancements and technologies that make a real difference, alongside familiar features that Starkey wearers already love. The updated processing chip enhances performance with five times the computational memory and ten times the non-volatile memory, providing a smoother and more efficient experience.

🎧 What are Starkey Genesis AI CROS and BiCROS Hearing Aids?

CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signal): Designed for people with normal hearing in one ear and hearing loss in the other, the Genesis AI CROS system captures sound from the side of the weaker ear and transmits it to the hearing aid in the stronger ear, enabling the user to hear sounds from both sides.
BiCROS (Bilateral Contralateral Routing of Signal): For those who have hearing loss in both ears, but one ear has more significant impairment, the Genesis AI BiCROS system helps by transmitting sound from the ear with minimal or no hearing to the ear with better hearing, improving the overall auditory experience on both sides.

⚡ Key Features of Starkey Genesis AI CROS and BiCROS Hearing Aids

Innovative Sound Transmission:
- CROS: Transmits sound from the microphone on the weaker ear to the hearing aid on the stronger ear, allowing for a full auditory experience.
- BiCROS: Captures sound from the poorer hearing ear and transmits it to the hearing aid on the better ear, making it possible to hear sounds from both sides, despite asymmetric hearing loss.
Enhanced Sound Quality: The Neuro Sound Processing Technology used in the Genesis AI CROS/BiCROS hearing aids works at a remarkable 80 million times per hour to improve clarity, sensitivity to softer sounds, and reduced listening strain, making it easier for users to hear across a range of environments. 🎧✨
Design: The CROS/BiCROS models are Receiver in Canal (RIC) hearing aids with a telecoil and double push button for ease of use, providing a compact, discreet design for maximum comfort throughout the day. 🎧👂
Battery Life: Starkey’s Genesis AI hearing aids, including the CROS and BiCROS models, boast up to 51 hours of battery life on a single charge, making it easy to use throughout the day without frequent recharging. 🔋🕰️
Advanced Connectivity: As part of the AI platform, these hearing aids offer Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to connect seamlessly to smartphones and other devices, ensuring easy communication and hands-free calls. 📱🔗

🎯 Who Should Consider CROS or BiCROS Hearing Aids?

CROS Users: If you have normal hearing in one ear but struggle with hearing loss in the other ear, the Genesis AI CROS will allow you to hear sound from both sides using your stronger ear.
BiCROS Users: If you experience hearing loss in both ears, but one ear has severe or profound hearing loss, the Genesis AI BiCROS system allows for sound perception in both ears, ensuring a more natural auditory experience.

🔄 Starkey Genesis AI CROS/BiCROS Hearing Aids vs. Other Hearing Aids

While the Genesis AI CROS and BiCROS hearing aids are designed for asymmetric hearing loss, they offer features not typically found in traditional hearing aids:

CROS technology allows sound to be captured on the weaker side and delivered to the stronger ear.
BiCROS enables sound to be transmitted from both sides, accommodating users with significant hearing loss in one ear and mild-to-moderate loss in the other.

The Neuro Sound Processing Technology ensures clarity and enhances sound quality, providing a comfortable listening experience across various environments, especially in noisy settings.

🎉 Conclusion

The Starkey Genesis AI CROS and BiCROS hearing aids are excellent choices for individuals experiencing hearing loss in one or both ears. Whether you need to hear from your weaker ear (CROS) or both ears (BiCROS), these hearing aids offer advanced sound processing, long-lasting battery life, and a sleek, comfortable design. With their improved performance and Bluetooth connectivity, the Genesis AI CROS/BiCROS models ensure an optimized auditory experience in all environments, empowering users to fully engage with the world around them. 🌟👂
