EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA – Starkey, the only American-owned major hearing aid manufacturer, last week announced that its newest hearing technology, Edge AI, is now available through the Veterans Affairs Administration, Department of Defense and the Indian Health Service.
Building on the success of Genesis AI, “Edge AI represents the next leap in intelligent hearing technology, redefining the patient and provider experience by offering advanced, streamlined solutions that focus on speed, simplicity, and reliability.”
“Our veterans and active-duty military members deserve the absolute best, and so do the professionals who support them every day.

Starkey’s Edge AI technology is designed to streamline the hearing aid fitting process, aiming to reduce time and effort for both providers and patients. The system includes simplified fitting software and user-friendly devices to facilitate customization and adjustment, enhancing the overall experience from start to finish.
Edge AI’s durable construction is intended to minimize repairs and adjustments, potentially decreasing the need for follow-up visits and allowing providers to focus more on patient care.
With a forward-looking approach, Starkey is committed to advancing hearing care through continuous innovation and support for government clinicians. The company aims to provide an optimal experience for both providers and the Veterans they serve, positioning itself as a strategic partner in delivering advanced hearing technology to government services.
In alignment with Starkey’s core values, the company supports and honors those who have served. Recently, Starkey invited employee veterans to attend a Minnesota Vikings game in its turf suite as a gesture of appreciation for their service.
