Description

The Starkey Omega AI 16 ITE R represents a major achievement in custom-molded digital hearing instrument technology, providing patients across Bangladesh with an exceptional combination of full in-the-ear physical comfort, custom lithium-ion rechargeability, and state-of-the-art artificial intelligence processing. Custom-molded to match the precise anatomical contours of the wearer’s concha bowl and ear canal using advanced 3D ear impression scanning technology, this In-The-Ear (ITE) hearing instrument is powered by Starkey’s industry-leading G3 Gen AI Neuro Processor. Engineered to replicate the natural speed, complex pattern recognition, and neural decoding capabilities of the human auditory cortex, the G3 Gen AI Neuro Processor executes up to 80 million fully automated, real-time acoustic adjustments every hour. With 16 digital signal processing channels and 16 independent frequency bands, the Omega AI 16 ITE R precisely analyzes complex sound environments, boosting subtle speech details while systematically suppressing intrusive background noise across mild to severe hearing loss profiles.

At the core of the Omega AI 16 ITE R sound processing architecture is its sophisticated Binaural Processing engine, enhanced by Deep Neural Network (DNN) noise management algorithms. By maintaining high-speed binaural data synchronization between left and right custom instruments, the system preserves natural spatial awareness and acoustic orientation within complex auditory surroundings. Whether navigating bustling family gatherings in Dhaka, participating in professional corporate boardroom discussions, or dining in busy urban restaurants, the Omega AI 16 ITE R dynamically adapts to shifting environmental soundscapes. Operating alongside Select Edge Mode+, Select Machine Noise Reduction (delivering up to 7 dB of mechanical hum attenuation), and Select Speech in Noise Reduction (providing up to 8 dB of competing vocal suppression), the hearing aid optimizes speech understanding and dramatically reduces listening effort, allowing wearers to socialize and communicate with complete confidence and natural ease.

Beyond its artificial intelligence acoustic processing capabilities, the Omega AI 16 ITE R is designed for exceptional everyday wearability, easy handling, and robust tropical climate durability. The In-The-Ear form factor provides a full custom shell that fills the outer ear concha, offering a secure physical fit that is exceptionally easy to insert, adjust, and remove, making it ideal for users who prefer full handling stability over miniature behind-the-ear wires. The custom lithium-ion rechargeable battery eliminates the hassle and ongoing expense of disposable button batteries, offering reliable, all-day power that seamlessly carries wearers through full days of active work, media streaming, and hands-free phone calls. Custom-molded with Pro8 HydraShield hydrophobic nano-coating, the instrument achieves IP68-rated waterproof protection up to 1 meter depth, shielding internal micro-components against water immersion, sweat, earwax, and high tropical humidity. Complete with Bluetooth Low Energy Audio with Auracast™ protocol, full compatibility with the MyStarkey app, integrated personal health tracking, Fall Alert safety technology, and an official 3-year worldwide warranty, the Omega AI 16 ITE R is available in Bangladesh through the National Hearing Care Centre (NHCC) in Dhanmondi, Dhaka.

More about Features

✔ 16 Channels & 16 Bands powered by G3 Gen Al Neuro Processor – The 16-channel and 16-band digital architecture driven by the G3 Gen AI Neuro Processor divides the audible frequency spectrum into 16 discrete channels. This enables hearing care professionals at NHCC to program and fine-tune amplification curves to match the wearer’s unique audiometric profile with extreme precision. The G3 Gen AI Neuro Processor continuously monitors incoming sound, executing automatic adjustments that preserve speech details while controlling excessive volume across various frequencies.

✔ Bluetooth® LE Protocol with AURACAST™ – Built on modern Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio protocols, the Omega AI 16 ITE R provides direct, energy-efficient audio streaming from compatible iOS and Android smartphones, tablets, and computers. The integration of Auracast™ broadcast audio technology allows wearers to tap directly into public broadcast audio feeds at airports, conference centers, theaters, and places of worship with pristine clarity and ultra-low audio latency.

✔ Binaural Processing with DNN enhanced noise management – When worn as a binaural pair, both hearing aids establish a high-speed wireless link to exchange acoustic information across ears in real time. The onboard Deep Neural Network (DNN) leverages advanced machine learning models trained on millions of diverse sound patterns to preserve natural spatial cues and apply localized noise reduction across both ears simultaneously.

✔ Select Edge Mode+ – An intelligent acoustic feature that conducts real-time environmental sound analysis on demand. When users find themselves in challenging acoustic environments, activating Select Edge Mode+ via a quick tap gesture or app command prompts the AI processor to evaluate immediate acoustic conditions and apply targeted noise reduction and speech enhancement adjustments instantly.

✔ Select Consonant Brightness – Specifically engineered to enhance high-frequency speech clarity by boosting subtle consonant sounds like ‘s’, ‘f’, ‘t’, ‘k’, and ‘sh’. By sharpening high-frequency speech cues without introducing acoustic harshness, it improves word recognition and speech comprehension during conversations.

✔ Select Machine Noise Reduction – Provides up to 7 dB of active noise attenuation targeted directly at low-frequency steady-state mechanical noises, such as air conditioner compressors, ceiling fan hums, generator drones, and vehicle engines. This maintains listening comfort in home, office, and urban commuting settings across Bangladesh.

✔ Select Speech in Noise Reduction – Delivers up to 8 dB of targeted background noise suppression designed to attenuate competing background speech and ambient chatter. By isolating primary conversational voices, it makes understanding speech in restaurants, family gatherings, and public spaces significantly easier.

✔ Select Transient Noise Reduction – Instantly detects and softens sudden, loud impulse noises—such as clattering cutlery, slamming doors, or rattling keys—by up to 6 dB. This prevents sharp acoustic discomfort while maintaining smooth, natural sound quality.

✔ Select Wind Reduction – Provides up to 8 dB of targeted wind noise suppression over the microphone ports. This ensures clear phone calls, undisturbed speech understanding, and comfortable listening during outdoor walks, rickshaw rides, or open-air activities.

✔ Quiet: Mild expansion – Applies mild expansion algorithms to soft ambient sounds in quiet environments. This eliminates internal microphone circuit hiss and subtle ambient noise, ensuring a clean, natural background during quiet reading, resting, or one-on-one quiet discussions.

✔ Music Enhancement – Features specialized sound processing parameters tailored specifically for music reproduction. By expanding dynamic range and preserving natural harmonic overtones, it allows wearers to enjoy live and recorded music with rich fidelity and zero acoustic distortion.

✔ Programmable setting for optimized streaming sound quality – Dedicated audio equalizer controls designed specifically for wireless media streaming. This allows users to customize bass, midrange, and treble frequency responses for phone calls, streaming music, podcasts, and video audio.

✔ TeleHear full remote fit – Enables telehealth fitting sessions directly with audiologists at NHCC. Through the MyStarkey app, hearing care professionals can perform real-time diagnostic checks and make precise remote adjustments to your hearing aid settings without requiring an in-person clinic visit.

✔ Pro8 HydraShield Protection** – Advanced hydrophobic nano-coating covers both internal micro-circuitry and custom external housing. Certified IP68 waterproof up to 1 meter depth, it shields the custom instrument against water immersion, sweat, high tropical humidity, earwax, and environmental dust.
