Starkey Hearing Aids Just Got Google Fast Pair (2026 Firmware Update!)

Be honest, are you still pairing your hearing aids through Bluetooth menus like it’s 2018?

Google Fast Pair has officially arrived in the world of hearing aids, and Starkey is one of the very first manufacturers to support it.

With a new firmware update rolling out on January 28 (US) and February 25 (rest of the world), Starkey Edge AI and Omega AI hearing aids can now connect to Android phones in seconds — just place them near your phone and tap connect.

No digging through Bluetooth settings.
No repeated pairing attempts.
It just works.

This tech was previously limited to earbuds, smartwatches, and gaming accessories — but hearing aids have finally joined the party.

Oticon also supports Google Fast Pair, but beyond that?
That’s it. No other manufacturers currently offer this.

In this video, I explain:

-What Google Fast Pair is
-Which hearing aids support it
-How the new Starkey firmware works
-Why this is a big deal for Android users
