Starkey Muse 1200 RIC – A Reliable Entry-Level Hearing Aid
The Starkey Muse 1200 RIC is a dependable hearing aid from Starkey, a U.S.-based brand trusted since 1967. Released in 2016 as part of the Synergy platform, this Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) model fits discreetly behind the ear, with the receiver sitting inside the ear canal via a thin wire. Designed for mild to moderate hearing loss (20–70 dB), it’s available in both rechargeable and traditional battery-powered options. While it doesn’t boast the latest technology, it delivers solid performance and clear sound at a budget-friendly price, making it a smart choice for users in Bangladesh seeking quality without extra frills.

Why Choose Starkey Muse 1200 RIC?
The Muse 1200 RIC is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss who want essential functionality without complex features. Its discreet RIC design ensures a comfortable fit—especially suitable for first-time users. While it lacks some of the advanced features of the higher-end Muse i2400 (like 20-channel processing or enhanced directional microphones), it outperforms older models like the Halo in terms of clarity. The IP68 durability rating means it can handle Bangladesh’s humid, dusty climate, and the choice between rechargeable and battery options gives users greater flexibility.
Performance in Different Environments
The Muse 1200 performs best in quiet or moderately noisy environments. In one-on-one conversations or small group settings, its Acuity Voice and 12-channel system provide clear, natural sound. In louder environments—such as busy streets or markets—the Noise Tracker II helps reduce ambient noise, though it’s not as advanced as higher-tier models like the i2000 or i2400. For enhanced performance, especially in noise, the SurfLink Remote Microphone accessory can help. And with IP68 protection, it remains reliable through Bangladesh’s hot and humid seasons.
