Some conversational situations feel like you are in the middle of a busy train station, even when you are just sitting at a table. Conversations are swallowed up by din, music, dishes, air conditioners and whatever else is rattling around in the background. The Starkey StarLink Edge Remote Microphone does exactly what you crave then: it picks up your conversational partner’s voice and sends it directly and clearly to your Starkey hearing aids.
What makes this microphone so special
The Starkey StarLink Edge Remote Microphone is designed for modern Starkey hearing aids that support LE Audio. That means stable connections, clean speech and hardly any delay. It’s literally like getting a personal audio line to the person talking to you – without the rest of the world in between.
The range is about 15 meters. Yes, 15. So your conversation partner can feel free to grab a coffee or sit across the table from you without losing the thread.
How do you use the StarLink Edge Remote Microphone?
The microphone is small, light and flexible to use:
1. Clips to clothing
Your conversation partner easily wears the microphone on the supplied clip. Ideal for one-on-one conversations, walks, teaching or presentations. The microphone focuses on that one voice.
2. Lay down in table mode
For meetings, dinners or study groups, there is table mode. Place the microphone in the middle of the table: it then picks up voices all around, cleverly suppressing noise.
You don’t have to set up anything complicated for this. The microphone automatically recognizes the situation and adjusts the recording pattern accordingly.

Battery and useful life
Nothing more frustrating than a technological marvel that squeaks after only one hour. Fortunately, the StarLink Edge Remote Microphone easily lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge.
- Charging via USB-C
- Automatic power saving when not in use
- Fast charging and ready for the day
Perfect for long work days, lectures or conferences.
Compatibility: will it work with my hearing aids?
The microphone works with Starkey hearing aids that support LE Audio (such as the modern Starkey Edge AI series). Do you have older devices without this technology? Then unfortunately the microphone does not work or does not work well enough.
In doubt? An audiologist (that’s us) can easily check for you.
When is this device really a gamechanger?
- In busy cafes, restaurants and reception halls
- In classrooms, lectures and meetings
- During walks where you just barely walk side by side
- During presentations where the speaker is at a distance
- When you regularly struggle to distinguish one specific voice from the rest
In short: in virtually any situation where background noise is more likely to dominate than the person across from you.
