I just got one of these as my first hearing aid ever and it’s set a high bar for me. Love it so far.

Great review. Thank you for your unbiased approach.

I rarely leave comments on videos, but I just had to say that I genuinely appreciate this very considered and thought out review of these hearing aids. Previously I was on the fence about these hearing aids, but now I’ve driven through straight through it lol. Thanks for this sharing this video :)

A great video. You mentioned streaming quality. My specialist fine tuned the music setting which makes it much more enjoyable.

Great review! Answered a lot of questions and explained features no one else mentioned…I’m getting them and you showed me there’s a lot to like and not many cons! 🎉

Great review. I also have the Genesis AI 24 and agree it took more visits to get them dialed in. The out of the box fitting for me was very “lispie”. It is my understanding the Edge Mode is static from the time you engage it. So as the listening environment changes, the Edge Mode does not continuously adapt or adjust. You would need to “reset” the Edge Mode to the different listening environment. I agree these are much lighter in feel, a fantastic battery life and sweat proof (at least so far I have not had any issues with sweet which I had with with the Starkey Edge 2400’sI had previously). Thank you for the time to put the review together.

Nick, Your review was instrumental in getting me to finally decide on Genesis. Three weeks wearing, I rewatched your video. I agree with all your pluses, with one more plus. I bought mine through Audibel (same price as independent audiologist in NYC) giving users access to a national network of audiologists and a four year warranty. I have called their general customer service number and applaud the quality of support provided. My account is shared with my audiologist and she was aware of the issues I had and how they were resolved. Regarding your cons - what a fair and accurate portrayal. I agree that streaming instrumental music is thin and disappointing, streaming vocal music was okay for my ear. In NYC, there can be static interference on phone calls, both inside and outside. I cannot put the phone in a pocket and chat without interference, I carry it closer to the hearing aids to minimize it. - Excellent presentation!

Another comprehensive and useful review. Excellent!

Excellent review! I have Genesis AI and I love it. You are right about multiple visits but it personalizes it to you . I look at it as learning everything about a new machine.

Thank you for the real life review. Currently shopping for my second set of hearing aids. Living in MN the audiologist here are very pro Starkey as you can imagine lol.

Spent 10 days with these, Phonak Audéo™ Paradise 70, turned them in & the Dr ordered the Starkey Genesis AI RT thanks to your's & other comments! I needed fall notifications, battery level indicators & a decent app, Phonak had none of these!

Excellent review. It will help me, formulate my questions and focus my discussion with my hearing health professional. I know they like Starkey lately, now I know why. Thanks

Brilliant review thank you

I hope you just forgot a big feature of these HA"s, the fall notification if you should fall!

Do you know how they can be connected to in flight entertainment on an airplane. I've purchased AirFly bluetooth and have not had any success in connecting.

I would like to see your comparison between the Genesis AI 20 vs. 24. Big price difference. Is it worth is??

I wish you would have spoken about the connectivity with devices OTHER than just apple products. But overall, good review. Thank you.

Just got a pair for 30 day trial. Restaurants sound great, TV i can make out speech, the phone app so far is way too low at full volume. Any ideas on how to get it louder? if not i will send these back. love the day to day sound but phone is terrible i am on an iphone 12.

Thanks for your wonderful review. Can you please tell me how to use the iphone as a microphone with the hearing aids? You didn’t say it. Thanks a lot.

Very helpful review! Having reviewed both Genesis and Lumity and commented on the "quality" of music streaming on each, how do they compare side by side on this feature? Overall, which one do you prefer?

Great review. Very heplpful. Which one is smaller between the phonak lumity and the genesis ai mric ?

After watching your video, I am grateful for Phonak Virto Paradise hearing aids this year. Especially the MiniControl. Not a big fan of Bluetooth.

Nice review. Thanks. That's really unfortunate about having to turn on edge mode. Obviously it uses more power since it's doing more processing, and someone at Starkey thought people will be put off by the short battery life and hence this kind of kludgy fix. Let us decide! I don't mind changing batteries every day if I have to. And "double tap" sounds pretty lame. Come one, double tapping your ears? I have the IIC (no app) so that's what I'd have to do. Starkey makes great HAs, but on the UI side they kind of drop the ball. Like the phone tone thing they have to make volume and memory changes. I think somebody's brother in law is in charge of UI at Starkey. I am glad to hear your comment about "all the power" this HA has, which caused plosives to be a problem for you. Good you got that fixed. For me, that "problem" means the HA has a lot of CPU available to crank up the high frequencies (which, digiitally, require a lot more processing). That is good news. It means the "new processor "thing is not just hype. Zip is the place to get them (unless you're loaded with money). Where I am now, there is no Zip and I'd have to pay about $3K more to get them. Anyway, thanks again, you've convinced me to get these. I gotta find some way to keep edge mode on all the time. I program my HAs myself so I'll find out what can be done there. Hopefully, like you say, Starkey will hear users feedback and give the audiologist a way to turn them on as the default, battery life be what it may.

Which one do you prefer? The Signia IX charge&go or the Starkey genesis?

How was zip hearing support for multiple adjustments?

I'm giving up my Phonak Lumity 90Rs to get a pair of the new Genesis AI ITE hearing aids. The one feature I will miss the most is being able to be paired to eight devices and seamlessly move from one to another. The one thing I won't miss is the Phonak TV streamer. I sent the first one back for poor sound quality and the replacement is no better. I've got my fingers crossed.

Which receiver power did you have fit? For example, if 40 gain gives you sound quality issues while streaming go to 50 gn and have everything reset to you audiogram. Mine sound great while streaming my rock videos. and movies. Streaming is a separate setting and program. That probably has to be turned up also and the mics “decreased” while on streaming.

I'm trialing a pair of Genesis AI 16 hearing aids. While I see 2-way audio listed as a feature, I haven't been able to locate/access it. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Need some help for my mom...which mode or settings are best for watching tv like sports?

How's does the audio sound quality while streaming music compare with your phonak audéo lumity 90?

I also watched your Oticon Real review video. Which one do you prefer or use as your "daily driver?"

Hmmmm....my experience with these hearing aids differs quite a bit from yours. I've only had them a week but i find myself constantly tweaking them to try to improve the clarity. Quite frankly, they kind of suck. Perhaps this is because I have an android phone and its not really specifically made to work with Android? Regardless of what mode i choose (including Edge Mode) i find that the main issue is voice clarity. It's just not clear. My hearing loss is mild to moderate so its not secondary to a profound hearing loss. I'm still in the trial period for my Genesis AI 24's which is great because these are not for me. They are not even remotely worth their cost. I appreciate your review, though. Thanks.

I just got the Genesis AI today to demo for 2 weeks before I go forward with them. I’m hoping it works! At first, Bluetooth was cutting in and out after trying to test the music app out. It hasn’t done that since. But background noise is to much for me and I’m not able to escape the full AC on blast while listening to music. Help with that area? Please!

Good review! I would like to get the AI 24's. I have an Android phone. Will this cause me compatibility problems?

At what level with in canal or 1/2 she’ll are these rechargeable and Bluetooth . Model #?

I can't find a list of the 77 languages it translates into. Can you put a link?

I wonder what the difference is between these and signia charge and go?

I currently use Starkey Evolv AI earphones, and one of the things that didn't satisfy me is the bluetooth connection in audio streaming. Are you experiencing the same problem for these new Starkey Genesis AI?

Let’s go B’s!!!

Amigo cuál me recomendarías

Not exactly my forte but cool though

I bought Starky Evolv AI and they didn't work, the techs couldn't fix them and they wouldn't give me a refund within the 30 days. Terrible, terrible experience! they don't stand behind them at all. Don't buy them! is my comment.

Shame, you are starting to sound like a youtuber rather than a "real user"
