First-Ever Hearing Aid with Integrated Sensors and Artificial Intelligence Launches in Australia
The revolutionary Livio™ AI tracks brain and body health and is the world’s first hearing aid with Fall Detection and Alert and Language Translation.
Starkey Hearing Technologies has reinvented both the hearing experience and the hearing aid with Livio AI. The Livio AI is the world’s first Healthable™ to utilise integrated sensors and artificial intelligence and the first device to track physical activity and cognitive health as measured by hearing aid use in social situations. Livio AI also features the first-ever fall detection and alert capability and translates 27 languages instantly.
The Australian launch includes a brand-new mobile app—Thrive™ Hearing Control; and three new wireless accessories—the Starkey Hearing Technologies TV, the Remote and the Remote Microphone +. With the Remote Microphone +, Livio AI features Amazon® Alexa connectivity.
Dawn Rollings, Managing Director of Starkey Hearing Technology Australia said, “First and foremost, Livio AI is the best performing and best sounding hearing aid we have ever made. What makes today a pivotal moment in the global hearing industry, is that with Livio AI, we have transformed a single-use device into the world’s first multi-purpose hearing aid, a Healthable with integrated sensors and artificial intelligence. Livio AI is so much more than just a hearing aid, it is a gateway to better health, wellness and ultimately, a better quality of life.”
The new Hearing Reality™ technology provides an average 50 percent reduction in noisy environments, significant reduced listening effort, and newly enhanced clarity of speech, while the use of artificial intelligence and integrated sensors enable it to optimise the hearing experience.[1] Livio AI has revolutionised what “hearing better” means.
Starkey Hearing Technologies is introducing these breakthrough advancements that are powered by artificial intelligence:
Livio AI will be available from mid May 2019 in Australia. For more information about Livio AI hearing aids, the Thrive mobile app and new Starkey Hearing Technologies accessories, please visit https://www.starkey.com.au
