The Starkey Genesis AI 24 ITC R in review
Mit dem Starkey Edge AI hat Starkey nach nur einem Jahr bereits eine neue, verbesserte Technik auf den Markt gebracht. Da diese Geräte nun nicht mehr aktuell sind, nehmen wir eine Abwertung der Gesamtnote vor.
Are you curious about this hearing aid from Starkey? Let's see what we have found out. The Genesis AI 24 ITC R has been developed for light, moderate, and severe hearing needs and it is worn in the ear. It is a slightly visible hearing aid of the highest quality.
With the sound exit close to the eardrum, we have a good, clean sound.
Hearing comfort
The listening comfort determines whether someone enjoys wearing their hearing aids or not. That’s why we first looked at how the hearing aid handles background noise. With this model, presented to us by Starkey, we were impressed by the excellent sound management. Of course, noise suppression is integrated, which is supposed to reduce tiring background noises. In the Genesis AI 24 ITC R, disruptive noises can be adjusted in several gradations, allowing one to decide how much attenuation is really comfortable. The Genesis AI 24 ITC R is equipped with incredibly good wind detection. Nothing stands in the way of a walk by the sea.
Furthermore, we were surprised by how well the impulse sound management works here. Nothing bangs, nothing rattles – very good! The hearing aid earns a big plus point for its excellent 3D hearing. Flexible, highly adaptive directional microphones allow for various directional characteristics and automatically adjust to the requirements of the respective situation. For a precise, lifelike listening experience, the number of adjustable frequency bands is of great importance. With 24, this Starkey device is a true top model and allows for differentiated fine-tuning over several years.
One component in the signal processing of the Genesis AI 24 ITC R is artificial intelligence. The impact is positive, as many customers find conversations in noisy situations significantly more relaxed.
Rating Hearing comfort: 1,0
Operation & connectivity
Most hearing aids automatically adapt to their surroundings. However, it can sometimes be very practical to make adjustments yourself. After all, the hearing aid doesn't know how you are feeling at the moment. We looked at the control options offered by the Genesis AI 24 ITC R: Generally, there is a button on the hearing aid, and we found one on the Genesis AI 24 as well. It can be configured as a volume control or program selection button, and it can also be disabled if desired. A remote control is available for the Genesis AI 24 ITC R. It's quite handy, fits in your pocket, and offers a volume up/down option as well as various listening programs.
Voice control is an option for operation that is becoming increasingly popular. Starkey has recognized this and provides this feature in its Genesis AI 24 ITC R. We believe this is the fastest way to adjust the volume or switch the hearing program. During testing, we were quite impressed with the tap control. Just tap your ear lightly, and your Starkey hearing aid knows it needs to do something. We were already familiar with this sensor-controlled technology from wireless headphones, and it's great that such a feature is now also available in hearing aids.
Hearing aid apps are becoming increasingly popular. With the Genesis AI 24 ITC R, we are lucky: there is a matching app. This app completely impressed us. Not only are there numerous options to customize the hearing aids to individual hearing preferences, but the app also offers plenty of lifestyle features. You no longer need headphones here, as it has a wireless option and can transmit sounds directly from the smartphone to the ears – provided the smartphone is equipped with 2.4 GHz LE technology.

Simplicity & security
How does one manage with the hearing aid in everyday life? This is the next aspect we need to evaluate. Because only when such a device works easily and uncomplicatedly can one get accustomed to it. The Genesis AI 24 ITC R performs exceptionally well in situation recognition. Those who desire comprehensive and powerful fully automatic features in a hearing aid and wish to make as few adjustments as possible will find this device perfect. The adaptive algorithms untangle the individual sound events in the environment and present the soundscape clearly and precisely. A great bonus in this hearing aid is the automatic acclimatization. Especially for those who have been hearing poorly for a long time and are then wearing a hearing aid for the first time, this is an enormous relief. The volume does not need to be immediately set to maximum. You can start at a lower level, and gradually and almost unnoticed, the amplification approaches the target.
The Genesis AI 24 ITC R is equipped with a rechargeable battery. We find this very good, as rechargeable hearing aids are absolutely modern. You don't have to have batteries lying around everywhere or change the battery in the middle of a concert. The hearing aid is simply placed in the charging station overnight and has enough energy for the following day.
The Genesis AI 24 is virtually dustproof and waterproof, and with its IP 68 classification, it is certainly well protected against external influences.
Rating Simplicity & security: 1,0
Extras
Before we come to the end, let's take a look at the extras: A special tinnitus program can be programmed upon request in the Genesis AI 24 ITC R. This allows for the generation of stimulating, pleasant sounds that distract from tinnitus when it is particularly strong. We find this very useful and happily award extra points.
We really appreciate the possibility of remote adjustments. This is very helpful whenever you just want to change a small aspect of the hearing aid settings but don’t want to travel to the audiologist. Instead, you make contact via the app, and the hearing professional sends a customized data package back the same way.
Special sensors in the Starkey Genesis AI 24 ITC R offer brand new insights into your health status. For instance, at the end of the day, you can check how many steps you have taken. By the way, you don’t even need to have your smartphone with you while you are out and about. You only need to glance at the app to retrieve the data. Digital algorithms and suitable apps increasingly allow for the integration of lifestyle functions that support your daily life. We are impressed by what hearing aids like this from Starkey can do today. Make sure to give it a try!
