Experience Starkey Omega AI in New Britain, PA

Starkey's Omega AI hearing aids represent a significant advancement in hearing technology, featuring DNN 360 directionality that delivers up to 28% better speech intelligibility in challenging environments while maintaining 51 hours of battery life. At Attentus Hearing Care, we're excited to offer this latest platform to patients throughout Bucks and Montgomery counties, bringing advanced hearing solutions directly to your home.

The hearing aid industry continues to evolve rapidly, and Starkey's newest platform demonstrates how artificial intelligence can meaningfully improve real-world listening experiences. Unlike previous generations that required users to compromise between clarity and battery life, Omega AI achieves both simultaneously through intelligent processing and engineering refinements.

What Makes Omega AI Different

The standout feature of Omega AI is its DNN 360 Directionality system, which uses deep neural network processing to continuously adapt to your environment. This technology allows you to move naturally through conversations without manually adjusting settings or losing track of who's speaking.

In testing, Omega AI showed an 8 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio compared to previous Starkey models, which translates to noticeably clearer speech in restaurants, family gatherings, and other challenging listening situations. The system excels at preserving spatial awareness, so you remain connected to your surroundings rather than feeling isolated in a bubble of processed sound.

What sets this apart from traditional directional systems is how it handles multiple speakers. Whether you're at a dinner table with conversations happening around you or walking through a busy environment, the technology adjusts seamlessly without requiring manual program changes.

Built for Real-World Durability

Starkey has reinforced Omega AI for daily wear and tear. The waterproofing has been tested to last 10 times longer than previous coatings, making these devices more resilient to moisture, humidity, and the occasional unexpected encounter with water. For rechargeable models, this waterproofing is rated to 1 meter depth.

The custom models feature a new shell resin that's 20 times tougher than previous materials while remaining easy for us to modify when adjustments are needed. This balance between durability and serviceability means your devices can better withstand the demands of active lifestyles while still receiving the personalized attention that proper fitting requires.

We've also noticed the practical benefits of the LED indicator lights on the RIC RT and mRIC R models. These lights confirm power status and Bluetooth connectivity at a glance, but they also serve a secondary function as a find-my-device tool. If you misplace your hearing aids at home, you can activate the lights through the My Starkey app to locate them quickly.

Generative AI Support Through TeleHear AI

One of the more innovative aspects of Omega AI is TeleHear AI, which uses generative artificial intelligence to help troubleshoot common issues in real time. The system can predict and resolve problems with 93% accuracy, handling situations like feedback, program adjustments, or sound quality concerns without requiring an appointment.

For example, if you're at a family event and notice the sound seems too harsh, you can describe the issue to TeleHear AI, which will suggest and implement adjustments. This responsive approach gives you more control over your listening experience while maintaining the benefit of professional oversight during regular follow-ups.

Edge Mode+ for Challenging Situations

Beyond the automatic adjustments that happen throughout your day, Omega AI includes Edge Mode+, an on-demand feature designed for particularly difficult listening environments. When you're in a crowded restaurant, attending a large gathering, or facing any situation where background noise threatens to overwhelm conversation, Edge Mode+ provides additional processing power to isolate speech.

Activating this mode through the app or a device control gives you enhanced clarity exactly when you need it most. The system works by applying more aggressive speech enhancement and noise reduction strategies that you might not want running constantly but prove valuable in specific circumstances.

Connectivity and Streaming Features

Omega AI supports Bluetooth LE Audio and is Auracast-ready, positioning these devices for emerging streaming standards. You can stream phone calls, music, and other audio directly to your hearing aids from both iPhone and Android devices. Streaming to the StarLink Edge TV Streamer now starts and reconnects automatically, eliminating the frustration of manual pairing each time you sit down to watch television.

Hands-free calling works seamlessly with iPhones, allowing you to take calls without touching your phone. The microphones in your hearing aids pick up your voice clearly, and the caller's voice streams directly to both ears for comfortable, natural-sounding conversations.

Health Tracking Capabilities

Starkey has expanded Omega AI's health monitoring features beyond basic step counting. The platform now includes Balance Builder, which provides guided at-home exercises designed to improve stability and coordination. This feature connects to broader fall prevention efforts, building on Starkey's previous Balance Assessment tool developed in collaboration with Stanford University.

The new Respiratory Rate Monitor automatically tracks your resting breaths per minute without requiring any action on your part or measurably affecting battery performance. This background monitoring can help identify potential health concerns early, though it's not intended to replace medical advice or diagnosis.

These wellness features integrate hearing health into your overall wellbeing picture, recognizing that hearing aids can serve multiple roles beyond amplification.

Our Approach to Fitting Omega AI

At Attentus Hearing Care, we use Real Ear Measurement (REM) for all hearing aid fittings. This verification procedure ensures that Omega AI's advanced features are properly calibrated to your specific hearing loss across all frequencies. REM measures the actual sound levels reaching your eardrum, allowing us to fine-tune the devices with precision that manufacturer formulas alone cannot achieve.

The fitting process begins with comprehensive hearing testing to establish your unique hearing profile. We then program the Omega AI devices according to your results and verify the output using REM. This combination of advanced technology and evidence-based fitting practices gives you the best possible starting point with your new hearing aids.

Because we offer mobile audiology services, we can perform these fittings in your home throughout Bucks and Montgomery counties. Many patients appreciate the convenience and comfort of receiving care in familiar surroundings, and we bring all necessary equipment to ensure the same quality of service you'd receive in a traditional clinic setting.

Available Styles and Options

Omega AI comes in multiple form factors to suit different preferences and hearing needs. The RIC RT and mRIC R models offer rechargeable convenience with the added benefit of LED indicators. Custom models provide a more discreet option for those who prefer hearing aids that sit entirely in the ear canal.

We'll help you choose the style that best matches your hearing loss, dexterity considerations, lifestyle requirements, and aesthetic preferences during your consultation.
