Starkey’s Livio AI

Livio AI is not only Starkey’s best sounding hearing aid, but it’s also a multi-purpose device that completely redefines what a hearing aid can do. The world’s first hearing aid to feature integrated sensors and artificial intelligence, Livio AI tracks both brain and body health via the Thrive Hearing Control App. This helps the wearer to stay mentally and physically active.

Normal hearing is a combination of layered sounds which our brain can focus on and interpret differently depending on each specific situation. Hearing loss can prevent these layers from blending seamlessly, which makes it difficult to hear clearly in certain environments – namely, noisy restaurants or places where background noise is present.

The most important job for any hearing aid is to provide the user with crisp, clear hearing, which is as close to natural sound as possible. To achieve this, Livio AI hearing aids utilise a brand new technology called Hearing Reality™. High-speed, high-definition processors within the Livio AI manage each layer of sound individually. The result is a more natural and immersive sound whereby the sounds you want to hear are amplified and the other sounds, like background noise, are “ignored”.

In trials undertaken by Starkey, Livio AI hearing aids earned a 98% satisfaction rating for sound quality, and wearers noted a significant reduction in listening effort!

How does the Thrive Hearing app work with Livio AI hearing aids?

The easy-to-use Thrive Hearing app puts you in control of your Livio AI hearing aids. The wireless connectivity means that you can enhance your listening experience anywhere you go and you can also:

• Track your body and brain health – you will be given a daily wellness score out of 200 based on hearing aid use, activity, social engagement and listening time.
• Translate spoken languages and stream the translation directly to your hearing aid.
• Make real-time adjustments to improve what you hear based on the environment you’re in and listening situations.
• Answer and stream telephone conversations using your hearing aids.
• Create personalised memories that are tagged to certain places (eg: coffee shop) which automatically change your listening mode when you enter the coffee shop, to ensure you receive a crisp sound in all environments.
• Remote programming enables you to request minor adjustments to your hearing aids from your hearing care professional – they can make tweaks remotely, so you don’t have to visit their clinic.
