Starkey Omega AI

Hearing aids have evolved dramatically, and the latest technology from Starkey represents a significant advancement in how people experience sound. At Sioux Falls Audiology Associates, we're proud to offer Starkey Omega AI hearing aids—devices that combine intelligent processing with practical durability to help our patients stay connected to the conversations and moments that matter most.

Advanced Sound Processing with DNN 360

The Omega AI platform features DNN 360 Directionality, which uses deep neural network technology to process sound in ways that mirror natural hearing. This system continuously adapts as you move through different environments, helping you follow conversations whether you're facing the speaker or not. The technology works to maintain your awareness of sounds around you while enhancing speech clarity, particularly in challenging listening situations like restaurants or family gatherings.

Built for Real Life

Omega AI hearing aids are designed to keep up with your daily activities. The rechargeable models offer up to 51 hours of battery life on a single charge, and they're waterproof up to 1 meter—tested to last significantly longer than previous generations. Whether you're caught in unexpected weather or simply going about your routine, these devices are built to handle it.

The RIC RT and mRIC R models include LED indicator lights that show power status and Bluetooth connectivity at a glance. These same lights can help you locate a misplaced hearing aid, adding a layer of practical convenience to your daily use.

Smart Features and Connectivity

Omega AI integrates with the My Starkey app to give you control over your hearing experience. The app includes TeleHear AI, which uses generative AI to help address common concerns in real-time. If you're experiencing an issue with your hearing aids, this feature can often identify and resolve it before you need to contact our office.

Key features include:

• Automatic TV streaming that starts and reconnects without manual input
• Hands-free calling through Bluetooth connectivity
• Balance Builder exercises to help improve stability and coordination
• Automatic respiratory rate monitoring for wellness tracking
• Voice-controlled adjustments through the Gen AI Smart Assistant
• Customizable programs for different listening environments

The platform is also Auracast-ready, which means your hearing aids will be compatible with emerging public audio streaming systems in places like theaters, airports, and places of worship.

Available Models and Styles

We fit Omega AI in multiple styles to match your hearing needs and personal preferences. Options include behind-the-ear (BTE) models in both standard and mini sizes, as well as in-the-ear custom devices. Each style is available in different technology levels, allowing us to recommend the option that best fits your lifestyle and budget.

At Sioux Falls Audiology Associates, Dr. Mandy Rounseville-Norgaard follows evidence-based best practices when fitting hearing aids, including Real Ear Measurement. This verification process helps confirm that your devices are programmed accurately for your specific hearing loss, giving you the best possible outcome from the start.
