Due to an injury while serving in Vietnam, I have been wearing hearing aids for years. As a veteran audiologist for 40 years, I have sampled products built by all the major 6 manufacturers.
This product review is different. Instead of talking about the cutting-edge specifications of Starkey’s new prescription fitted Omega AI 24 I’m going to share how I feel when I wear them. This is one of the world’s first Deep Neural Network (DNN) hearing aid with 360 degree directionality.
The sound quality is so mysteriously natural that I forget I’m wearing the Omega AIs until I remove them at bedtime. That is when it dawns on me that for the entire day, I have been hearing everything around me, but also aware of what direction it was coming from. It is an uncanny sensation because none of these sounds affect my ability to track and understand conversation from different directions. It is a good experience that is hard to explain. These aids make it easy for me to hear my best. The deep neural network processing eliminates my need to fiddle with a phone app or volume control.
The Starkey Omega AI 24 is the first hearing aid that I look forward to wearing when I get up in the morning. It is also comforting to know that Starkey is the only American hearing aid manufacturer, so I have convenient access to supplies and service.
Our Florida hearing clinics work with all major manufacturers. I feel that the Starkey Omega AI has set the gold standard for future hearing aid technology.
In review, wearing the Omega AI 24 hearing aids makes me very happy. I have more spatial awareness and feel more connected to my surroundings. And I can easily understand and follow conversations with my patients and family. Wearing these aids generates positive emotions for me. Starkey Omega AIs are my feel-good hearing aids!
I am so immpressed with the Starkey Omega AI aids that I want to share my experience. I have given my audiology doctors in 8 Tampa Bay locations permission to download a custom prescription and loan out these aids with no obligation to purchase.
