Amazing technology, discreet design! 10/10 My dad, 60 yrs old, was fitted with Genesis AI IICs hearing aids and loves them. He was reluctant to get hearing aids (waited 10+ year after noticing a hearing loss) because of the stigma around wearing them. He was fit with a pair that sits deeper in his canals and is nearly invisible. He hears better than ever especially when he is in big crowds or busy restaurants. Thank you, Starkey, for providing my dad a tailored and personal experience when treating his hearing loss.

Loser Livio model I have the Livio model. Works great till you go to a humid environment. I live in south Louisiana, so that means anywhere other than your living room! Can't wear outside because sweat will make them turn off. Dehumidifiers help very little! I'm on 3rd or 4th pair and right now the right one works about 10% of the time. I do have to give credit where credit is due, the tinitus technology works pretty good. Would I buy Starkey hearing aids again? Not no but HECK NO!!!!!

Some improvements & differences from my previous hearing aids The edge mode is very nice & I’ve been using it. I also love the recharging battery, which is different than my previous hearing aid. Although making adjustments through the iPhone is very convenient on this model, I miss being able to adjust the sound UP & DOWN (2 buttons on the ear piece, instead of one.). It now has to go through all of the settings every time I need to adjust the sound, instead of just hitting either button.

They squeal a lot They squeal a lot. Just getting next to something, like inside a car or next to a kitchen cabinet set off the squealing. It is uncomfortable just to reach up to take them out because of the squealing caused by my hand. There needs to be a better filter to stop all the noise of knives and forks clanking on the plates, because all I hear at dinner is plates clanking, and my self chewing. I am effectively deaf at any dining situation.

Needs a lot of work Adequate is probably the best description as to the effectiveness of the Thrive app. It randomly can't find my hearing aids (despite them being next to the 'phone). Volume conrol sometimes only works on one ( but I can control both manually). Other ad hoc bizzare behaviour necessitating uninstalling the app, downloading again and re-setting. Usually works for a few weeks until something else goes wrong...then repeat process. App needs some serious work to bring it to an acceptable, functional level!
