Compatible accessories for each hearing aid

Reach R Plus

Battery Charger

Charging Station

A plug-in charger for everyday use at home, with magnetic slots that hold your Reach R Plus hearing aids in place. It provides a full charge in around four hours and supports 30-minute top-ups. The hearing aids switch off when inserted and on when removed; the charging cable is fixed.

Travel Charger+1

A portable charging case with a built-in battery that provides up to three hearing aid charges away from a power outlet. It charges Reach R Plus in around four hours, supports 30-minute top-ups, and automatically switches the hearing aids off and on as you insert and remove them. The case recharges via USB-C.

Charging+ Station

A charger with built-in drying and UV cleaning to help care for your Reach R Plus hearing aids between uses. It supports 30-minute top-ups and automatically switches the hearing aids off when you insert them and back on when you remove them.

Universal Cable Charger

A compact, lightweight charger that connects directly to the charging contacts on your hearing aids. Removable sleeves make it easier to clean the contacts, and an optional stand helps keep the charger steady. Compatible with Reach R Plus and several other rechargeable Rexton models.

Bluetooth Streamer
None

StarLink Edge LE Adapter

Wireless accessory listed for Omega AI+; part P00018678. The supplied guide does not explain its operation.

CROS System

Reach CROS R-Li T BC

A rechargeable CROS transmitter designed to pair with Reach R Plus for people whose hearing in one ear cannot benefit from a conventional hearing aid. Worn on that side, it picks up sound and sends it wirelessly to the hearing aid on the better-hearing ear. In a BiCROS fitting, that hearing aid also amplifies sound to address hearing loss in the better ear.

None
Remote Control

Smart Key

Smart Key is a pocket-sized remote with dedicated buttons for changing volume and listening programs without using a smartphone. A keyring keeps it handy, and a lock switch prevents accidental button presses in a pocket or bag. Rexton advises against pairing Smart Key and the Rexton App to the same hearing aids, because the app can erase the remote pairing.

StarLink Remote Control 2.0

The Starkey StarLink Remote Control 2.0 is designed to control compatible 2.4 GHz hearing aids. Users can adjust volume, switch programs, and activate features like Edge Mode or Comfort Boost.

Remote Microphone
None

StarLink Edge Remote Microphone

Remote microphone compatible with Omega AI hearing aids using Bluetooth LE Audio.

StarLink Edge Table Microphone

Table microphone compatible with Omega AI hearing aids for group conversations.

Smartphone App

Rexton App+1

The free Rexton App for iPhone and Android lets you adjust volume, switch listening programs, fine-tune sound balance, and check hearing aid battery levels from your phone. Rexton Assist offers personalized sound adjustments based on your feedback, while TeleCare enables remote support and adjustments from participating hearing care providers. Available controls depend on your hearing aid settings; Rexton Assist does not support CROS fittings.

My Starkey

Designed with the input of hearing aid wearers, My Starkey pairs with select Starkey hearing aids to help you enjoy greater listening moments, improved well-being, and easier everyday living — all from the palm of your hand.

Hear Share

Works with My Starkey to share hearing aid usage, activity progress, and safety information with people chosen by the wearer.

TV Streamer

TV Sound

TV Sound sends stereo audio from a television or sound system directly to your Reach R Plus hearing aids. It connects to the audio source through an optical or analog output and supports several hearing aid users listening at once. LED indicators show pairing and streaming status, and the Rexton App lets you adjust streaming volume.

StarLink Edge TV Streamer

Future-proof and Auracast ready, our Edge TV Streamer is 60% smaller than previous Starkey streamers and uses Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio protocol to stream audio straight from a TV to paired Edge AI hearing aids.
