Necessity is the mother of invention, as the saying goes, and hearing aids are a perfect example of such dictum. But a con to this amazing invention is that hearing aids have been prone to damages.. As a reason, manufacturers have applied various techniques to address this issue and the HydraShield 2 nanotechnology successfully mitigate the ingress of both water and oily substances for hearing aids. As a result, the reliability of hearing instruments is enhanced and customers’ satisfaction improved.

Owing to the needs of effective hearing aids, Starkey, a global hearing technology company marks history by being the first company to use nanotechnology for waterproof hearing aids.

The company is recognized for its innovative design, development, and distribution of comprehensive digital hearing systems. Starkey is known for early development and improvement upon its in-the-canal devices, Starkey develops various styles of hearing aids to fit the individual needs of wearers.

Each hearing aid has distinct features enabling superior delivery of sound quality, listening clarity, and effortless transitions. One such product of Starkey is its premium Livio AI, which is the first hearing aid to include artificial intelligence to track body and brain health activities. Livio is suitable for most types of mild to moderate hearing loss, has tinnitus masking features, and can connect to Apple iPhones via Thrive app, allowing a user to stream phone calls, music and messages directly from a smartphone to their hearing aids. Starkey makes a number of other hearing aids with different features.
