Latest Technology Advancements Developed with a Focus on the Future
Eden Prairie, Minnesota (November 11, 2024) – Starkey, the only American-owned hearing aid manufacturer, last week announced that its newest hearing technology, Edge AI, is now available through the Veterans Affairs Administration, Department of Defense and the Indian Health Service. Building on the success of Genesis AI, which transformed the industry, Edge AI represents the next leap in intelligent hearing technology, redefining the patient and provider experience by offering advanced, streamlined solutions that focus on speed, simplicity, and reliability.
“Our veterans and active-duty military members deserve the absolute best, and so do the professionals who support them every day,” said Brandon Sawalich, President and CEO at Starkey. “At Starkey, we value customer feedback and believe our collaborative approach ensures each new product feature and iteration meets patient and provider needs, solves a real-world challenge, and helps our valued partners effortlessly provide even more patients with exceptional care, outstanding service, and reliable, high-performance hearing technology.”
Starkey designed Edge AI to make the fitting process intuitive and hassle-free, reducing time and effort for both providers and patients. With simplified fitting software and user-friendly devices, Edge AI removes the complexity from customization and adjustment, delivering a smooth, enjoyable experience from start to finish.
Additionally, Edge AI’s durable design ensures fewer repairs and adjustments, reducing the need for follow-up visits and empowering providers to focus on delivering exceptional care with confidence.
Starkey is committed to continually advancing the field of hearing care, and with a vision set five years ahead, the company is dedicated to leading the industry through ongoing innovation and unmatched support for government clinicians. With a focus on providing the best possible experience for both providers and the Veterans they serve, Starkey is positioned as the premier strategic partner for government services, delivering the most advanced hearing technology available.
Supporting and giving back to those who have served our country is an important part of Starkey’s core values, and one of the main pillars of Starkey Cares. This past weekend, Starkey invited employee veterans to attend the Minnesota Vikings game in Starkey’s turf suite. It was an honor to host this amazing group and thank them for everything they have done for our country.
