✔ Adaptive Directionality – Continuously adjusts microphone focus to follow the direction of speech, helping you concentrate on conversations in front of you while minimising distracting background sounds from other directions.
✔ Music Enhancement – Specifically engineered for music lovers, this feature fine-tunes your hearing aids to deliver a rich, detailed, and immersive audio experience. Unlike general sound amplification, it preserves the subtle nuances of vocals and instruments, making live concerts, recordings, or traditional Bangladeshi music sound more vibrant and natural. Whether you’re casually listening or professionally involved in music, this setting ensures clarity without distortion.
✔ Auto Experience Manager – This intelligent feature is designed to ease the transition for new hearing aid users by gradually adjusting volume and sound settings over time.

It improves comfort and confidence in daily social situations, which is especially important in community-oriented cultures like Bangladesh’s.
✔ Frequency Lowering – This feature helps individuals who have difficulty hearing high-frequency sounds, such as birds chirping, doorbells, or certain speech consonants like “s” and “f.” It works by shifting these high-pitched sounds into lower frequency ranges where your hearing is stronger. This ensures that you don’t miss important environmental cues or parts of speech, enhancing overall clarity and communication. It is especially useful in multilingual settings like Bangladesh, where speech nuances matter.
✔ 2.4 GHz CROS/BiCROS Option – For individuals with single-sided hearing loss or unaidable hearing in one ear, the 2.4 GHz CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signal) and BiCROS system transmits sound from the poorer ear to the better ear using wireless technology.

✔ Multiflex Tinnitus Technology – Starkey’s built-in Multiflex Tinnitus feature provides relief for those who suffer from tinnitus or ringing in the ears. It generates a customizable, soothing sound that masks the tinnitus and helps the brain shift focus away from the discomfort. This can be particularly beneficial in quiet moments or at bedtime, improving overall comfort and mental well-being for users in any setting.
✔ Auto On-Off – The Auto On-Off function intelligently powers the hearing aids on when inserted into the ear and off when removed. This helps conserve battery life and simplifies usage, especially for elderly users or those new to hearing aids. It ensures a hassle-free experience and peace of mind, removing the need to remember power buttons or switches.
✔ Tonal & Voice Indicators – This feature provides helpful audio cues, such as tones or voice prompts, to alert the user about changes like volume adjustments, program changes, or battery status. These indicators make the hearing aids more intuitive and user-friendly, especially for elderly users or those with visual impairments. It adds an extra layer of guidance to ensure users always know what their device is doing, reducing confusion and enhancing confidence in daily use.
✔ Automatic Telephone Response – The hearing aid automatically detects when a phone is placed near the ear and adjusts its settings to optimise sound for phone calls. This includes reducing background noise and enhancing speech clarity, making it easier to communicate clearly over the phone. In a country like Bangladesh, where phone calls are a primary mode of communication, this feature significantly improves convenience and accessibility for users.
✔ Up to 5 Memories (4 Programmable and Stream Boost) – With support for up to five unique listening programs, users can switch between environments with ease. Whether you’re at home, in traffic, in a meeting, or watching TV, you can personalise each memory setting to match your lifestyle.

Maintenance
Regular Cleaning
Clean your hearing aids daily to remove dirt, earwax, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth or a specialised hearing aid cleaning tool to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using any liquids, alcohol-based wipes, or household cleaning agents, as these can damage sensitive components. For more detailed cleaning, use a small brush or wax loop to gently clear debris from the microphone and receiver ports, being careful not to push debris further into the device.
Proper Charging Care
Always place your hearing aids in their designated Starkey charger when not in use. Ensure the charging contacts are free from dust and moisture. Avoid overcharging or leaving the charger plugged in continuously without supervision. Charging the device in a dry, cool place—away from direct sunlight or heat sources—will extend battery life and maintain charging efficiency.
Moisture Protection
Even though the device features Surface™ Nanoshield IP68 water resistance, it’s important to store it in a dry box or dehumidifier overnight, especially in humid climates like Bangladesh. This protects internal circuits from long-term moisture exposure and prevents corrosion. Always dry your ears before inserting the device and avoid wearing it while bathing or in heavy rain.
Wax Guard Replacement
The Starkey Evolv AI 1200 ITE R includes a wax guard system to prevent earwax from entering the speaker. Over time, this guard can clog and affect performance. Check it weekly and replace it as needed using the manufacturer-supplied wax guard tool. This simple maintenance step keeps your audio clear and extends the life of your hearing aid.
Periodic Professional Servicing
Visit your hearing care provider every 4–6 months for a professional cleaning and performance check-up. Audiologists can run diagnostic tests, update firmware if needed, and check fit and comfort. Regular servicing ensures that your device remains optimised and continues delivering peak performance.
Safe Handling and Storage
Handle your hearing aids with clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or moisture. When not in use, store the devices in their charging case or a designated protective case to shield them from dust, pets, and accidental drops. Avoid placing them near sinks, open windows, or areas with high humidity, such as kitchens or bathrooms.
Avoiding Physical Damage
Though designed to be durable, the device can still be damaged by physical shock. Always remove the hearing aids before engaging in vigorous activity, such as contact sports or tasks involving heavy machinery. Dropping the device can damage internal components or misalign the custom fit, so handle with care.
Environmental Precautions
Keep your device away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to heat (like being left in a hot car) or cold can degrade battery performance and cause the casing to warp or crack. Similarly, avoid exposing the device to dusty or sandy environments, which can clog ports and reduce performance.
Software Updates and App Maintenance
Users of the Thrive Hearing Control App should regularly check for updates on their smartphone to ensure they are using the latest software version. These updates may improve performance, fix minor bugs, or introduce new features. Restart your phone and reconnect your hearing aid via Bluetooth if you experience connectivity issues.
Battery Health and Charging Routine
Although the device uses a reliable rechargeable battery system, maintaining a consistent charging routine helps prolong battery lifespan. Try not to let the battery drain completely before recharging. If you’re not using the device for an extended period, store it in a powered-off state and ensure the battery level is at least 50% before doing so.

Routine Performance Testing
Every few weeks, test your hearing aids’ performance using a simple listening check. Turn on the device and cup it in your hand—if you don’t hear feedback (a slight whistling sound), there may be a blockage. This quick test helps identify issues early, such as a clogged receiver or microphone.
Update Firmware as Recommended
If your provider notifies you of a firmware update or if prompted via the Thrive Hearing Control App, schedule a visit or perform the update through the app if supported. Firmware updates can fix bugs, improve sound processing, and enhance connectivity or battery performance.
Maintain Accessories and App Connections
If you’re using accessories like a TV streamer, remote microphone, or remote control, keep them clean and charged as well. Check for firmware or app updates that may improve integration with your hearing aids. Proper care of these accessories ensures a seamless listening experience across multiple devices.
Use of Dehumidifiers or Drying Kits
Even with IP68-rated water resistance, prolonged exposure to humidity (common in Bangladesh’s climate) can degrade internal components over time. A UV drying kit or hearing aid dehumidifier used overnight can dramatically extend the life of your hearing aids, especially during monsoon seasons.
Regular Follow-Up Appointments
Schedule a check-up every 6 to 12 months with your audiologist. Besides professional cleaning, they can adjust sound settings, test hearing changes, and ensure your device remains well-calibrated. These visits are also a great time to ask questions or get retrained on app features.
Battery Contact Cleaning
Over time, the metal contact points on rechargeable hearing aids can accumulate debris or skin oils. Clean them gently using a dry, soft cloth or cotton swab. Clean contacts ensure more efficient charging and prevent connectivity errors between the device and charger.
