Starkey Livio Edge AI - Next generation sound, never before possible

The new Starkey Livio Edge AI 1200 is the mid to low level technology from American company, Starkey. The Livio range of hearing aids are the first on the market to incorporate 2.4GHz Bluetooth technology and rechargeability in a custom in the ear product. The Livio Edge AI supersedes the existing Livio AI technology which was the first 'healthable' hearing product on the market. This is a class above and really puts Starkey to the forefront of the market.

Features of the Product

In this section we will address some of the key features in the Livio Edge AI 1200 that make it a revolutionary product on the market, what makes it tic and what you can expect to receive with this product.

Edge Mode

Starkey have put the latest technology 'Edge Mode' into the Livio Edge AI 1200. Edge mode provides instantaneous adjustments when in the most challenging listening environments. The AI facility in Edge Mode will conduct an analysis of the environment automatically to make these adjustments.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) & 3D Sensors

Specially designed for the Livio Edge AI 1200 the Artificial Intelligence and 3D sensors track the users activity such as, step count, heart rate, preferred user setting and most importantly a 'fall detection system', so should the user fall the hearing aids will send an automatic notification to a preferred family family or friend.

Thrive App Including thriveCare 

Livio uses the very latest technology for streaming and remote control function. The thrive App has a large range of facilities that the user can access to personalize their lifestyle. Aside from the basic facilities such as, volume control, program adjustment and setting, find my hearing aids, they now also include 'Geo Tagging' which allows the user to set a tag on their favourite environments such as a favourite restaurant or cinema and also Auto On/Off which turns the hearing aids off automatically to save power when not in use.

Healthable technology

The Livio Edge AI 1200 also includes the brain tracking, body tracking and fall detection systems within the Thrive app meaning that it can all be controlled and adjusted personally and easily from the users phone. The user can view their targets and monitor the progress of each of these activities (mainly brain function) to make sure they are getting the best benefit from wearing the hearing aids.

Intelligent Assistance

The thrive app now includes Starkeys own 'intelligent assistnace' facility which quite frankly is brilliant. It allows the user to activate features such as:

Translate - Communicate with people who speak a different language. The hearing aids will automatically translate almost instantaneously so the user is able to communicate and understand in the best possible way.
