Starkey’s Genesis Line of Digital Hearing Instruments

As the world’s leading custom hearing instrument manufacturer, Starkey Laboratories offers a comprehensive family of digital hearing solutions available with a wide variety of advanced signal processing features. All Starkey Genesis products feature an exclusive sound environment called Precision Audio Imaging. Precision Audio Imaging’s combination of capabilities incorporates Starkey’s proven compression technology, along with maximum levels of audibility, high fidelity and hearing comfort.

Axent II Digital Signal Processor
Axent is our premier digital technology, with an exclusive set of features unlike any other instrument available. Axent II’s new dynamic directionality function automatically adapts the hearing instruments’s directional microphone to the best setting to minimise unwanted noise. New indicator tones for low battery warning, memory switching and volume control settings increase your hearing comfort by making it easier to find the appropriate listening level.

Axent II’s patented digital algorithm helps minimize and eliminate the onset of feedback, a common nemesis to other hearing instruments. Within its elaborate frequency channel network, the algorithm detects feedback before it becomes audible. It then reduces levels in just those specific channels, with no noticeable effect on perceived volume levels. Available in a complete range of sizes from BTE to CIC, Axent II’s wide dynamic range compression, noise management, feedback cancellation, and expansion capabilities make it an ideal solution for the most demanding hearing needs and environments.

Arista Digital Signal Processor
Arista is Starkey’s newest digital technology and offers a variety of value-enhanced features that improve your overall listening experience. Adaptive noise management and multi channel expansion allow for crisp and clear sound quality in all types of listening environments. And feedback, a common problem with most digital instruments is virtually eliminated with Starkey’s unique adaptive feedback management technology.

Arista’s three wide dynamic range compression channels allow your hearing professional to specifically adjust the instrument’s frequency response to precisely match your hearing loss. Indicator tones for low battery warning, memory switching and volume control settings increase your hearing comfort by making it easier to find the appropriate listening level. Arista is available in all styles from BTE to CIC, and is appropriate for patients requiring advanced digital technology for a variety of listening environments.

Available in all sizes from BTE to CIC for most types of impairment, Sequel is well suited for variable listening environments.

Endeavour Digital Signal Processor
Endeavour provides the value and sophistication of digital technology with an emphasis on simplicity. Endeavour now features expansion technology to ensure that circuit noise and low-level environmental noises from ventilation systems and other household appliances do not interfere with the vital speech components critical for maximum audibility. New indicator tones for low battery warning, memory switching and volume control settings increase your hearing comfort by making it easier to find the appropriate listening level. Available in all sizes from BTE to CIC for most types of impairment, Endeavour is an effective solution for those with the most basic digital amplification requirements.
