Starkey Genesis AI RIC 312 Accessories Compatibility Guide | Japebo
If you’re looking for Starkey Genesis AI RIC 312 accessories, this guide helps you confirm compatibility and choose the right parts the first time. Starkey RIC hearing aids use a small set of replaceable components that affect comfort, sound quality, and reliability—so identifying the correct accessory type (and the exact size/variant) matters.
On this page you’ll learn what accessories are commonly used with the Starkey Genesis AI RIC 312, how to match them to your current setup, and how to avoid the most common ordering mistakes.
What “RIC 312” means for accessories
RIC (Receiver-in-Canal) means the speaker (receiver) sits in the ear canal and connects to the hearing aid with a thin wire. Many accessory choices depend on this RIC setup—especially the earpiece (dome or custom earmold), the receiver type, and the filters/guards that protect the receiver opening from earwax and moisture.
312 refers to the battery size used by this model family. That can influence which battery-related items you need (for example, size 312 zinc-air batteries), while other accessories (like domes and wax protection) are determined by the receiver/earpiece style rather than the battery.
Common Starkey Genesis AI RIC 312 accessories
Most users will need one or more of the following accessory types over time:
Domes (ear tips)
Domes are the soft silicone tips that sit in your ear canal. They directly impact comfort, retention, and how much sound is “sealed” in the ear (which affects bass, feedback risk, and how natural your own voice sounds).
Domes typically come in different styles (open/vented/closed/power-style) and multiple sizes. Even when two domes look similar, they may attach differently depending on the receiver/earpiece system used.
Wax protection (wax filters/guards)
Wax guards protect the receiver opening from earwax and debris. If your sound becomes weak, muffled, or cuts in and out, a clogged wax filter is one of the first things to check. Using the correct Starkey-compatible wax protection is important—different systems use different filter shapes and tools.
Receivers (speakers) and receiver wires
Receivers wear over time and may also be replaced if you change power level or wire length. Compatibility is critical here: the correct receiver depends on the Genesis AI RIC platform and the receiver specification fitted by your hearing care professional (power level, side, and length).
Batteries (size 312)
If your model uses disposable batteries, choose size 312 zinc-air hearing aid batteries. If you use a rechargeable accessory/charger in some setups, follow the exact charger and power guidelines recommended for your specific Genesis AI configuration.
Cleaning and care items
Cleaning wipes, drying solutions, and small tools help keep microphones and ear tips clear. These are usually universal, but they’re still essential for preventing performance issues and extending the life of domes and receivers.
How to confirm compatibility before you buy
Because “Starkey Genesis AI RIC 312” describes the hearing aid family and battery format, the best way to ensure you pick the right accessory is to match what you already have:
1) Match the ear tip type and attachment
Remove the dome and look at how it attaches to the receiver. Some domes push straight on, while others require a specific mounting style. If you’re unsure, compare the exact dome model name from your packaging or ask for help identifying it.
2) Identify the wax guard system
Wax filters are not one-size-fits-all. Check your current filter tool/packaging or the receiver tip. If you don’t have the packaging, note the filter shape and whether it uses a specific insertion tool.
3) Check receiver details (if ordering a receiver)
Receivers are typically defined by side (left/right), wire length, and power level. Ordering the wrong combination can lead to poor fit or incorrect output. If you’re not replacing like-for-like, verify the correct spec with your hearing care professional.
How to choose the right option (practical guidance)
If comfort is the issue
Try a different dome size first. A dome that’s too small can slip and cause feedback; too large can feel sore and blocky. If your ears feel irritated, consider whether you need a different dome material/style or more frequent replacement.
If sound is weak or muffled
Replace the wax guard and check the dome for blockage. If the issue persists, the receiver may be failing—especially if sound is intermittent.
If you get whistling (feedback)
Feedback is often solved by a better seal (correct dome size/style) or by ensuring the dome is fully seated and not torn. If you recently changed domes, you may need a different style (for example, more closed) depending on your hearing loss and fitting.
If domes don’t stay on the receiver
This can happen if the dome is the wrong attachment type or if it’s worn out. Domes are consumables—regular replacement improves grip and hygiene.
When should you replace Starkey Genesis AI RIC 312 consumables?
Replacement frequency varies by earwax, humidity, and wear, but common guidance is:
Domes: every few weeks to 1–2 months (or sooner if torn, loose, or discolored)
Wax guards: as soon as sound is reduced or on a routine schedule recommended by your provider
Receivers: only when failing, damaged, or when changing specification

FAQ – Starkey Genesis AI RIC 312 accessories
Are all Starkey domes compatible with Genesis AI RIC 312?
No. Dome compatibility depends on the receiver/earpiece system fitted to your hearing aids. Always match the dome attachment style and model family, not just the Starkey brand name.
Which battery does Starkey Genesis AI RIC 312 use?
This model uses size 312 hearing aid batteries (if your particular device setup is battery-powered rather than rechargeable).
Do I need to change wax filters even if I clean my hearing aids?
Yes. Cleaning helps, but wax guards still clog over time. If sound is muffled or quieter than usual, replacing the wax guard is one of the first troubleshooting steps.
How do I know which receiver wire length I need?
Receiver length is usually indicated by a small marking on the receiver/wire or on the original packaging. If you’re unsure, it’s best to check your fitting details with your hearing care professional to avoid ordering an incorrect length.
My hearing aid whistles after changing domes—what should I do?
Try a different dome size, ensure the dome is fully seated, and inspect for tears. If feedback continues, you may need a different dome style (more closed) or a fit adjustment.
