Hearing Aids

These devices also aid in communication, allowing the deaf or hard of hearing to return to our world of sound, music and speech. Today’s digital hearing aids do not have the disadvantages of the previous generation – high noise levels, inability to filter noise, poor adjustability and a design that made many people embarrassed to use them.

The Livio AI hearing aids from Starkey Hearing Technologies, which use artificial intelligence technology in their work, also work as human health trackers, monitoring brain activity and physical health. They come with a smartphone app that can display real-time information about the user’s health using data from built-in motion sensors and a heart rate monitor.

In addition, Livio AI has a feature that automatically detects user falls and sends a message to a contact person about it. The location tracking system allows such a person in an emergency situation to see the location of the hearing aid wearer’s fall on a map. Users can also manually activate the alarm by pressing a button on the device itself.

This device, which is no longer just a hearing aid, also has a language translation feature that can translate speech from over twenty different languages directly into the user’s ears.

Eargo manufactures miniature hearing aids using materials that provide a unique fit to the user’s ear and are virtually invisible when worn. The Eargo product is equipped with a rechargeable battery and is similar in function to high-end audio headphones. This hearing aid can be purchased over the Internet without having to go to a specialist, and it is also remotely set up and when the person receives their device, it is already fully set up, charged and ready to use. If the user needs additional setup to get the Eargo ready for use, they do it with simple taps on the ear.
