Starkey Hearing Technologies Deliver A Hearing Revolution
Introducing Livio AI
Starkey Hearing Technologies is delighted to introduce the world’s first Healthable™ hearing aid with integrated sensors and artificial intelligence. Livio™ AI is a multi-purpose device that redefines what a hearing aid can do. It’s a revolutionary hearing aid that provides both superior sound quality and the ability to track body and brain health.
Until now, there has never been a device that tracks physical activity and cognitive health as measured by hearing aid use in social situations. Most fitness tracking devices use the wrist, but the ear provides far more accurate data – in fact, it’s the ideal spot for reliable tracking, and Livio AI is the first-ever device to take advantage of that.
Hear Better. Live Better.
It’s been proven hearing health is directly connected to overall health and well-being. People who are able to hear can engage with the world around them and live better and healthier lives.
Hearing loss has been linked to several chronic disabling conditions like cognitive decline, diabetes, heart disease, dementia and more (4).
The good news is that growing research shows treating hearing loss can improve or limit the risk of some of these serious conditions, including dementia (5). In fact, a 2017 study revealed that treating hearing loss is the single greatest change a person can make to lower their risk of dementia.(1)
Hearing aid wearers have an easier time socialising and enjoying group activities. This can help stave off potential dementia by keeping the brain busy.
Music listening also boosts cognitive functions such as attention, communication and memory.(2) Hearing aids – especially those offering wireless audio streaming – allow listeners to enjoy those positive health benefits.
Evidence also shows monitoring physical activity can provide great benefits to patients by encouraging even more active behaviour.(3)
Livio AI lets people of all ages take a proactive approach to their overall wellness. Sensors inside the hearing aids detect movement, activities and different gestures. The hearing aids then communicate with each other, and with multiple accessories, to deliver meaningful benefits beyond traditional amplification. You will not only hear better, but live better thanks to real-time feedback about your overall body and cognitive fitness.
