Starkey Rechargeable Digital Hearing Aids
Muse™ micro RIC 312t R
The Muse™ micro RIC 312t R is just one of the styles available on Starkey’s® “made for music” hearing aid platform. The rechargeable offering is not a Lithium-ion device and nor is the power pack integrated. The power pack is actually ZPower’s innovative silver-zinc battery technology. Which is used with their charger to give at the very least 24 hours of use. Going with this option will allow Starkey customers to switch to normal disposable batteries if they are caught out. From what we can see the Muse micro RIC 312t R will be available in the full three levels of technology.

Muse™ iQR
The Muse iQR hearing aids have just been introduced by Starkey, they are built on their latest Synergy® platform and Acuity™ OS operating system. The devices are Lithium-Ion powered and offer 30 hours of use with streaming, full-day charging in less than three hours, a portable charging case for rapid 15-minute and “weekend” charges, and a telecoil.
20% Longer
Starkey says that their new Lithium-Ion system will provide 20% more power than any of their competitors. They have said that you will get over thirty hours of use with streaming. Obviously, you aren’t going to use it for thirty hours straight, unless of course, you work with my business partner Steve Claridge (Steve The SlaveDriver Claridge!). The thing is though, it means that no matter how much you stream audio, on the phone, listening to music or watching the TV, you simply won’t run out of juice.
Smallest Ever Rechargeable
The bragging rights up to now have been Unitron’s, however, Starkey says that their new rechargeable is 30% smaller than any of their competitors. Considering that is combined with so much power, that’s quite a feat.
