Starkey Omega AI Custom Hearing Aids
Background
Starkey is a longtime leader in custom-molded hearing aids, and Omega AI represents the brand’s latest flagship platform.
Omega AI is built around always-on artificial intelligence designed to improve speech clarity and reduce listening effort in real-world environments. For people who prefer in-ear hearing aids, Starkey offers Omega AI in three custom styles—In-the-Ear (ITE) Rechargeable, In-the-Canal (ITC) Rechargeable, and Completely-in-Canal (CIC)—so you can choose the right balance of size, features, and discretion.
Each Omega AI device is custom-made from an ear impression, resulting in a personalized fit that can improve comfort, stability, and discretion.
Key Features
Always-On AI for Speech Clarity
Omega AI uses Starkey’s latest sound processing chip (released in late 2025) to actively analyze your environment and prioritize speech, even in challenging background noise.
The goal is clearer conversations with less listening fatigue—especially in social settings like restaurants, meetings, and group conversations.
Modern Connectivity and App Control
Omega AI supports Bluetooth streaming across all three sizes, including the invisible-style CIC. The CIC is one of the smallest Bluetooth streaming hearing aids on the market and cleverly uses the clear pull tab as a wireless antenna. All three styles pair with the My Starkey app, letting you adjust volume, change programs, and check battery status directly from your phone.
Rechargeable models are designed with future-ready connectivity in mind, including support for emerging broadcast audio standards.
Compare the 3 In-Ear Styles
Omega AI ITE R (In-the-Ear, Rechargeable)
Best for: Easiest handling and visibility
- Largest of the three in-ear options
- Fills more of the outer ear, making insertion and removal easier
- Rechargeable battery
- Bluetooth streaming and app control
This is the most approachable in-ear option for users who want custom fit with simpler handling.
Omega AI ITC R (In-the-Canal, Rechargeable)
Best for: A smaller look without giving up features
- Medium-size design that sits deeper in the ear canal
- Rechargeable battery
- Bluetooth streaming and app control
ITC R offers a strong balance between discretion and modern convenience.
Omega AI CIC (Completely-in-Canal)
Best for: Maximum discretion
- Sits deep in the ear canal and is nearly invisible when worn
- Uses a disposable battery
- One of the smallest streaming-capable custom hearing aids on the market
CIC is ideal if appearance is your top priority and you want the smallest possible hearing aid without moving to a larger style.
How Does the Sound Compare?
Starkey Omega AI emphasizes clear, crisp speech with reduced background noise and lower listening effort. We've been very impressed with this new generation of devices from the brand.
Because these are prescription hearing aids, your hearing care professional can fine-tune the sound over time to match your preferences, environments, and hearing needs.
