Starkey Evolv 1000 or Starkey Signature Series? About to place an order

So I currently wear 10 year old pair of Starkey Z Series 70 and about to purchase my first new pair after a decade+ with the current ones.

My requirements were the following:

  1. CIC Shell
  2. Power receiver capable of 70db gain
  3. None of the cute algorithms to mess with sounds etc
  4. I want it to sound like my current aids which is…let me hear everything in their real sound and do not suppress or try to drown out other environmental noises.
  5. And finally, no, I do not want a setting for music, conversations, quiet time, or any of that stuff. One setting for all sounds, and maybe a program two that mirrors settings #1 but slightly louder, and that’s all.

I’m being recommended a pair of Starkey Evolv 1000 CIC which will run about $3500 I think. No bluetooth, non-rechargeable, but the most basic and it’s a 10 channel hearing aid versus my 3 channel aids I currently wear and will give me what I’m asking for.

Also was recommended if I wanted an upgrade into rechargeable and more features, the Stakey Signature Series but these would run about $5500. And as for all the fancy AI features, they can be turned off.

Anything I may be missing or should be informed of before I make the purchase? I’m leaning towards the Evolv 1000. I’m being told there is a Evolv 1200? Should I look into this?

Thank you in advance for any help!! Attached is a photo of my latest hearing test.

Does anyone know if the model include features that help with speech in noise/loud environments? and is that something that the OP maybe interested in?
Someone told me that , with , the difference between the premium and non-premium is not much due to the lack of multiple microphones and small size.
I don’t know the answer but I would be interested in learning about this.

I have recently bought the Signatures and am pleased with them. Previously I bought the Edge 24 half shells, but I returned them. As I have small ear canals I went for the NW battery version of the Signature 24 with M receivers. They are nicely made, fit perfectly in my ears and stay put. I have a few programmes, but these might change: Personal, Edge +, Mute, Music and another with a small increase in volume. I don’t use these programmes very much at all. When I next see my audiologist I might get her to delete the music programme and add in another with more volume increase. The battery version is slightly cheaper than the rechargeable. I have so far only had to change the batteries once and got 10.5 days out of the size 10 batteries. I don’t do long days, approximately 13-14 hours, but nevertheless I am happy with that. I paid £3,699.
