Accessories

Accessories pair and configure additional devices to adjust volume, program, etc., using a remote control or stream audio from a mobile phone, MP3 player, computer, television, DVD player, remote microphone, etc., directly to wireless hearing aids. Starkey offers several accessories that can be synced with wireless hearing aids. Click on any accessory below for more information.

StarLink Edge Remote MicStarLink Edge Remote Mic - Streams audio from its built-in microphones.

The Remote Microphone (Remote Mic) streams audio from its built-in microphones directly to Omega AI and Edge AI wireless hearing aids. When worn by a distant speaker in noisy environments, the Remote Mic is an assistive listening device.

Streaming starts automatically when the Remote Mic is turned on and aids are paired to the device. Streaming stops automatically when the Remote Mic is turned off. The patient can adjust the volume via the Remote Mic or hearing aid user control (if configured for this function). The hearing aids can also be programmed for audio streaming only or audio streaming plus microphone to allow environmental sounds to be heard during audio streaming.

The operating range from the Remote Mic to the hearing aids is 15 meters or 50 feet. If the Remote Mic is affixed to clothing or worn on a lanyard, it should be within 20 centimeters or 8 inches of the speaker’s mouth.

Remote Microphone +Remote Microphone + - Streams audio from different audio sources (e.g., companion mic, Bluetooth device, FM system, etc.).

The Remote Microphone + (Remote Mic +) streams audio from different audio sources directly to G Series AI and Genesis AI wireless hearing aids. When worn by a distant speaker in noisy environments, the Remote Mic + is an assistive listening device. The Remote Mic + can also interface with the following audio sources:

Bluetooth (such as a mobile phone)
Teleloop Systems
FM Systems
Line-In Audio

If the microphone is worn on the body, it automatically prioritizes sound from above while reducing sound levels from other directions. This is useful if listening to a single speaker when background noise is present. If the microphone is placed horizontally (on its clip), it receives sound from all directions (omni). This setting is useful for listening to multiple nearby speakers in quiet environments. To receive audio from other inputs, either the Remote Mic + must be paired to a Bluetooth device, an attached FM receiver, or an optional line-in cable connected to the microUSB jack.

Streaming starts automatically when the Remote Mic + is turned on and aids are paired to the device. The patient can start/stop streaming and/or adjust the volume via the Remote Mic +, Remote (if the Favorite button is configured for Accessory Start/Stop), the My Starkey mobile application, or hearing aid user control (if configured for these functions). The hearing aids can also be programmed for audio streaming only or audio streaming plus microphone to allow environmental sounds to be heard during audio streaming.

Below is a picture of the Remote Mic + and descriptions of the buttons. See the Remote Microphone + User Manual for instructions on setting up and operating the accessory or viewing instructional videos. For assistance with solving Remote Mic + issues, see Troubleshooting Accessories or FAQ's.

When hearing aids are synced with the Remote Mic +, any previously synced hearing aids will be automatically deleted. The operating range from the Remote Mic + to the hearing aids is 20 meters or 60 feet. If the Remote Mic + is affixed to clothing or worn on a lanyard, it should be within 20 centimeters or 8 inches of the speaker’s mouth.
