Hearing aids have come a long way from the bulky, whistling devices many of us remember. Today’s models are discreet, high-tech, and designed to enhance every aspect of your life, not just your hearing.
The team at Meadows & Wood Hearing Care has just returned from visiting Starkey’s Global HQ in Minnesota; one of the world’s leading hearing aid manufacturers. Alongside 50 audiologists from across the UK, we saw first-hand the incredible innovation and care behind Starkey’s devices. The best part? That same technology is available right here at our clinics in North Somerset and Bristol.
At Starkey’s impressive HQ, we saw how each hearing aid is rigorously tested for durability in all environments. Each device undergoes extreme tests, from being frozen in sub-zero temperatures, baked in high heat, and drenched in saline streams within pressurised chambers, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability no matter the environment.
We also discovered Starkey’s latest cutting-edge technology. Their Edge AI model uses artificial intelligence to boost speech clarity by up to 30%, even in noisy environments like restaurants and family gatherings. With built-in 3D motion sensors, these devices can track steps, monitor social engagement, and even help detect falls before they happen.
Their latest models also feature Auracast™ broadcast streaming, allowing you to connect directly to public sound systems, like cinemas and airports, thanks to next-generation Bluetooth LE Audio.
At Meadows & Wood, we’re proud to offer the latest hearing care technology as North Somerset’s only full-time, fully independent audiology and tinnitus treatment clinic. Our expert audiologists are here to support you with personalised care and state-of-the-art hearing solutions. Get in touch with our friendly team today by clicking the button below.
