I’m glad to hear all of the testing that goes into the hearing aids. While I appreciate waterproofing the biggest problem for me is when I’m teaching and I start sweating. I end up taking out my hearing aids so they won’t get more moisture and get damaged but then I can’t hear my students. I hope you’ll continue testing for ways to combat sweating moisture.
Sadly, I have to admit that I think I've gotten into the shower with every set of hearing aids I have owned over the last twenty-five years. No damage to any of them. I have been wearing new Starkey Genesis AI ITE devices for the last month and haven't showered with them as yet, but, so far I am completely underwhelmed with them in terms of wind noise reduction, feedback and echo problems. I'm going back to the VA this week for a followup appointment and if we can't make some improvements they're going back. I hate to say that, because I like supporting the only company that makes hearing aids here in America.
Hi Bill - Thanks for commenting. Based on what you're describing, it sounds like some additional adjustments and fine-tuning may be required. We hope that they better meet your expectations after your upcoming appointment.
@@starkeyhearingaids As do I. I was really excited when the Genesis platform launched. I was hoping these would be my all time favorites. Fingers crossed.
I tried these hearing aids, worked in quite one on one but did not work in noise, on the phone. Bluetooth (BT) drops out, cannot have a phone call over BT, problems streaming music as well. Great battery life.
@@waynekosters1814 The bluetooth works fine for me. I have an iPhone 12, that may be why. They work fine for me with the tv streamer. I have trouble hearing my wife and that's a huge problem for me...
How would you say the Starkey Genesis AI stacks up against the Phonak Audéo Life hearing aids on the market currently? Which of the two hearing aids are more "waterproof"?
Great question! Genesis AI is tested at a depth of 1m (3+ feet), whereas others on the market are tested up to 50 cm (~1 ft). Our methods of protection are proprietary, so hard to compare there, but Genesis AI is built to withstand daily wear and tear, whatever you do!
How many feet is it for 5 meters depth of pool and ocean water ? My friends has October 2022 Phonaks Audeo Life Waterproof sweatproof Over-The-Ears hearing Aides with wireless Bluetooth added and works with Bluetooth Android cellphone computer and she goes ocean surfing and water skiing and swimming in fresh water pools numbers of times and mountain biking and camping for weeks bringing only solar power panel Bank Mobile cellphone computer rechargeable battery to charge her hearing Aides base for 3 hours while sleeping 6 hours and while leaving hearing Aides hooked up to hearing Aides base to recharge her hearing aides . I don't know if 6 meters are over 6 feet or not but her hearing aides are still working at 6 feet deep ocean water and swimming pools and she shake water out and start back wearing hearing Aides like it didn't get water in them . Oh hold on . I'm speaking to her now .
This is utterly misleading. While the body is water-resistant, the receivers are not. Twice, my brand new Starkey Genesis AI receivers have shorted out and had to be replaced after a simple, short run. No swimming, no immersion. Deceptive advertising.

Starkey hearing Aides Over-The-Ears hearing Aides will not work with Old and New Android cellphone computer smart phone Bluetooth.
Moisture is one of the #1 causes for hearing aid repairs!! This is awesome!
Moisture and pets have been the nemesis of hearing aids for a long time!
