Now Fitting · 2026 Models

The newest hearing aids,
professionally fitted
in Marietta.

As a certified provider of Oticon and Starkey, Aurilink fits the two most advanced hearing aids on the market today — programmed precisely to your hearing profile, lifestyle, and goals.

Why a New Hearing Aid This Year

Hearing aids have changed more in the last two years than the previous ten.

The latest models from Oticon and Starkey use on-device AI to separate speech from noise, adapt to your environment, and stream directly from your phone — without the buzz and feedback older aids were known for.

True AI processing

Deep-learning chips trained on millions of real-world sound scenes — the aid decides, in microseconds, what you actually want to hear.

Direct phone streaming

Calls, music, podcasts, and TV stream straight from your iPhone or Android into both ears — clearer than earbuds, and no one else can hear it.

All-day rechargeable

One overnight charge gets you through ~24 hours, including streaming. No more fumbling with size-312 batteries every few days.

Built for the long run

Untreated hearing loss is one of the largest modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline. Treating it early changes the trajectory.

Oticon · Flagship 2026

Oticon Zeal™

The first hearing aid that understands what you want to hear.

Zeal introduces Oticon's 4D Sensor technology — a constellation of motion, conversation, and acoustic sensors that read your listening intent in real time. When you lean in to focus on one voice, Zeal narrows in with you. When you turn to take in the room, it opens up. The result is the most natural-feeling hearing aid Oticon has ever shipped.

4D Sensor technology

Motion, conversation, environment, and head-movement sensors fused into a single intent-aware sound model.

BrainHearing™ deep neural network

A second-generation DNN trained on 12 million real-life sound scenes — preserving the natural balance of every voice in the room.

LE Audio & Auracast™ ready

Stream directly from iPhone and Android, plus tap into public Auracast broadcasts in airports, theaters, and houses of worship.

Up to 20 hours per charge

Mini rechargeable miniRITE R battery — a 15-minute quick charge gives you ~4 hours of run time.

Starkey · Flagship 2026

Starkey Omega AI

A new dimension in better hearing — durable, all-day, and tuned to you.

Omega AI pairs industry-leading on-device AI with one-tap Edge Mode+, which instantly zeroes in on speech in restaurants, crowds, and other tough scenes. It's waterproof* up to one meter, runs up to 51 hours on a charge, and connects you to your world through enhanced Auracast™ streaming.

Industry-leading AI + Edge Mode+

On-demand, Edge Mode+ zeroes in on speech in the toughest scenes — restaurants, crowds, wind — while industry-leading on-device AI keeps everyday listening clear.

Waterproof & built to last

A 10× more durable waterproof* coating stands up to sweat, rain, and submersion up to one meter — engineered for all-day, every-day wear.

Enhanced Auracast™ & LE Audio

Stream calls and audio from your phone, plus tap into public Auracast broadcasts at airports, gyms, and theaters. Google Fast Pair™ and Apple compatibility make connecting effortless.

Gen AI in the My Starkey app

TeleHear AI listens to your sound concerns and solves them with an instant adjustment, while a Gen AI Smart Assistant answers questions, changes programs, and sets reminders — plus activity, respiratory-rate, and balance tracking.

Side-by-Side

Which one is right for you?

Both are exceptional. The best fit depends on your hearing profile, lifestyle, and what you want the aid to do beyond hearing. Here's how they compare on the specs that matter most.

What They Both Do Brilliantly

Either way, you're getting the latest of everything.

A few years ago, these features were on a wish list. Today they're table stakes — and both flagships deliver them.

Direct Bluetooth to both ears

Phone calls, music, video — straight in, with no neck-loop or middleman device.

Discreet, behind-the-ear fit

Modern receiver-in-canal designs sit invisibly behind the ear. Most patients say they forget they're wearing them.

Custom programming

Every aid is fine-tuned to your audiogram — not loaded with a generic profile out of the box.

Tinnitus relief programs

Built-in sound therapy — gentle, customizable ocean and noise mixes — that can quiet ringing alongside hearing support.

Remote fine-tuning

If something feels off, we can adjust your settings remotely through the app — no extra trip to the clinic.

Lifetime follow-up at Aurilink

Cleaning, refitting, programming changes — included for the life of your hearing aids, no extra charge.

How We Fit You

Your path from first visit to fully fitted.

A new hearing aid is only as good as how it's fitted. Here's our process — and why every Aurilink patient gets one-on-one care, every step.

1

Hearing evaluation

A comprehensive audiometric exam to map exactly how you hear at every frequency — the foundation of any fitting.

2

Try both, side-by-side

You'll wear Zeal and Omega AI in our office and listen to real conversation and music — no commitment.

3

Custom programming

Once you've chosen, we fit and program your aids to your exact audiogram and listening environments.

4

Lifetime fine-tuning

Free follow-ups, cleanings, and remote adjustments — for the life of your hearing aids. We're here.

Common Questions

What people ask before they book.

How much do these hearing aids cost?
Both Oticon Zeal and Starkey Omega AI come in several technology tiers, with pricing that varies based on the level you choose. We always present clear, all-inclusive pricing at your consultation — including your aids, the fitting, and a lifetime of follow-up care. Many patients qualify for insurance reimbursement, HSA/FSA payment, and 0% financing through CareCredit.
How long do they last?
Modern hearing aids typically last 5–7 years with normal use and routine cleanings. The rechargeable lithium-ion batteries inside Zeal and Omega AI hold their full daily charge for roughly 4–5 years before noticeable decline. Your warranty and our lifetime in-office service cover most things that come up in between.
Can I try them before I buy?
Yes — and we strongly encourage it. Your consultation includes a no-pressure in-clinic demo where you'll wear both Zeal and Omega AI and listen to real speech and music. We also offer extended take-home trial programs so you can experience the aids in your own environments before making a final decision.
Do they help with tinnitus?
Often, yes. Roughly 90% of tinnitus cases are linked to underlying hearing loss, and treating the hearing loss frequently reduces the perception of ringing. Both Zeal and Omega AI include built-in tinnitus sound therapy programs, which we customize to your specific tinnitus profile as part of our broader treatment program.
What if I've never worn hearing aids before?
You're in the right place. The majority of our patients are first-time wearers. We take extra time during your first fittings to make sure everything sounds natural — and we adjust gradually, so your brain has time to relearn the soundscape it's been missing.
