Sound quality is key to a successful hearing journey. If a hearing aid does not deliver natural and seamless sound quality, nothing else the hearing aid does matters. Starkey has completely reimagined the modern hearing aid with Genesis AI, our latest innovation in hearing technology.

Genesis AI also delivers Starkey’s first use of an on-board Deep Neural Network (DNN) accelerator engine and includes several improvements to noise reduction and streaming sound quality. This course will provide an overview of both the new and improved sound quality features within Genesis AI.

Performing real-ear measures is a clinical win - win - win. It ensures patient audibility and therefore success with amplification. It aids confidence in the provider that they are delivering the highest standard of care. And it creates value for the practice by delivering clinical efficiency through the decreased need for adjustment appointments. During this course, we will discuss the setup of the real-ear equipment in a real office environment, how to structure patient appointments for measuring patient outcomes, integrating real-ear measures with hearing aid adjustments, and what to look for in hearing aid fitting. The goal of this course is to not only deliver efficient solutions that you can integrate into your office today, but also expand your thinking about ways to use real-ear in your clinical practice.
