Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Jan. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Starkey is pleased to announce that Livio Edge AI<\/a> has won a GOOD DESIGN\u00ae Award<\/a>. GOOD DESIGN is the world\u2019s most recognized program for design excellence worldwide. It represents the world\u2019s critical mass of the design and manufacturing industry, representing the best consumer design ranging from electronics to transportation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to continue to earn recognition for excellence, both inside and outside of the hearing industry,\u201d said Starkey President and CEO Brandon Sawalich<\/a>. \u201cThis award is proof that we are making great strides in breaking the long-standing stigma around hearing aids. We are turning them into want-to-wear devices that not only help people hear better, but live better lives through our Healthable technology.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Livio AI is the device that launched a revolution in the hearing aid industry. It is the world\u2019s first Healthable, multi-purpose hearing aid<\/a>, featuring integrated sensors and artificial intelligence that provide superior sound quality and the ability to track both body and brain health. Early in 2020, Starkey built on that technology, with the release of Livio Edge AI.<\/p>\n

With a simple double tap of the hearing aid, Edge Mode<\/a> instantaneously conducts an AI-based analysis of the listening environment and makes immediate adjustments. The result is never-before-possible sound performance, even in the most challenging listening environments, giving the hearing impaired the ability to hear more clearly and comfortably.\u00a0Innovative features and accessories, such as Fall Alert<\/a>, the\u00a0Thrive Hearing Control App<\/a> and the Thrive Care App<\/a>, contributed to the judges\u2019 decisions during the award selection process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very pleased that the design community is recognizing our technological innovations,\u201d said Starkey Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering Achin Bhowmik, Ph.D.<\/a> \u201cLivio Edge AI embodies a stunning architecture that packs advanced technologies into ergonomic designs, offering features and functions that enhance quality of life and connect people with the world around them. I offer my thanks and congratulations to the entire Starkey team, for this tremendous award.\u201d<\/p>\n
