Starkey Muse
January 2017.
Muse , built on Starkey’s all new Synergy chip platform is the only platform to feature quad core twin compressor technology. Synergy, in combination with Acuity OS, Starkey's new high-definition operating system, enables speech and music to be processed uniquely – advancing speech audibility and listening enjoyment of music in all environments. Halo 2, Muse, and SoundLens hearing aids (all built on the Synergy platform) are all high-end hearing aids with 16 to 24 channels of operation and adjustment.
Speech Processing, Music Optimization, Noise Management, Wind Noise Management, and Directional processing all increase in sophistication as you move from the i 1600 , to the i 2000 , and finally the i 2400 . The most important features are the same at all 3 technology levels: Feedback Management, Tinnitus Masking, Frequency Lowering (if required), and Wireless Accessory Compatibility is available in every price point.
Muse is available in all hearing aid styles:
- Small Behind the ear RIC (receiver in the canal) size 312 battery
- Small Behind the ear Slim Tube - size 312 battery
- Medium Behind the Ear with standard tubing - size 13 battery
- Custom -made CIC (completely in the canal) small size 10 battery
- Custom-made ITC (in the canal) with medium size 312 battery
- Custom-made ITE (in the ear) with larger size 13 battery
Muse is available in a range of colors to match hair color, eyeglasses, or skin tone.
POWER
The Muse can be fitted to mild-to-moderate hearing losses as well as very severe hearing losses.
CUSTOM-MADE EARMOLDS
We recommend custom-made earmolds from our earmold lab for severe hearing losses for the behind the ear styles. Custom-made earmolds can also improve retention and ease of use with milder hearing losses.
SmartPhone Apps WITH TruLINK
The TruLink Hearing Control app for both Apple and Android devices provides patients with control to adjust volume, memories and more. There is also a Find My Hearing Aid feature.
SPEECH SHIFT
Engineered to enhance real-time audibility by identifying high-frequency speech cues and replicating them in lower frequencies, Speech Shift is unlike other technologies that apply frequency compression broadly. Halo 2 maintains these frequency relationships retaining sound quality while providing clarity for high-frequency speech.
TINNITUS MASKING
Our patent-pending Multiflex Tinnitus Technology is now standard on all product styles and technology levels. Designed with personalization and flexibility in mind, Multiflex Tinnitus Technology works as a wireless binaural system with synchronized user controls providing the best comfort and control.
A MORE NATURAL LISTENING EXPERIENCE
Acuity Binaural Imaging ("ear-to-ear" communication powered by TruLink and an Apple device) brings ultra high-definition audio for a more natural ear-to-ear experience. Thanks to collaborative decision making, speech audibility can be preserved while simultaneously maintain comfort.
LISTENING ENJOYMENT
The Acuity Lifescape Analyzer, is Starkey's most rigorously tested environmental detection system. This system detects multiple environments simultaneously and is Starkey's most sophisticated and accurate classification and adaptation system.
OPTIMIZING SPEECH UNDERSTANDING
Starkey's proprietary multi-segment compression architecture, Acuity Speech Optimization, combines speech audibility and overall comfort.
SUPERIOR DIRECTIONAL DETECTION
Designed to improve speech detection in noisy listening environments, Acuity Directionality is intelligent and personalized to continually adapt in all channels, prioritizing conversations with up to 6dB of speech enhancement, so patients can better hear and participate in conversations from all directions.
OPTIMAL AUDIBILITY IN NOISY ENVIRONMENTS
Acuity Voice runs in parallel with Acuity Lifescape Analyzer to provide optimal audibility for speech. Its two-part algorithm uses dynamic voice identification, coupled with a spectral noise control that calculates appropriate gain on a per-channel basis, for unprecedented sound quality, ease of listening, and intelligibility of speech in noise.
MUSIC
With our revolutionary new platform and operating system, Muse is designed to enhance the way patients listen to music. This unique prescription focuses on music enjoyment, makes soft music sounds audible, can be fit easily to accommodate each patient’s subjective hearing tastes, adapts and improves music listening sound quality automatically.
FEEDBACK MANAGEMENT
The only proactive feedback management system, our WhistleFree Feedback Cancellation anticipates feedback and can be personalized to product and patient.
EFFORTLESS CONNECTIONS WITH STREAMING MEDIA
Muse and TruLink offer patients carefree connectivity and control. Wearers can stream any music or media played on their iPhone directly to hearing aids for a more immersive and impressive listening experience.
RELIABLE, DURABLE AND HASSLE-FREE
Surface Nanoshield, our next generation moisture and wax repellent ensures reliability and durability. This nano-coating delivers excellent protection from water, wax and oils.
