Livio AI is bursting with features designed by Starkey to include feedback from hearing professionals and seasoned hearing aid wearers. The result: a robust hearing instrument for all environments.

Speech Shift, which helps wearers move easily between speech sounds and conversations in changing environments.

With the TruLink app, Livio wearers are able to make simple adjustments to their hearing preferences, as well as utilize GPS to geo-tag locations for a seamless listening experience.

Livio’s directional microphones assist wearers in many different environments by eliminating distracting background noise. This provides the wearer with a clearer sound signal, with less listening effort. Livio offers flexibility with different frequencies, balancing high and low frequencies for improved speech intelligibility.

With many hearing aids, wearers may experience feedback due to amplification of sound. Halo eliminates the buzzing and whistling for a more comfortable listening experience. By streaming phone calls directly to the wearer’s ears, Livio eliminates the common discomfort of holding a phone up to the hearing aid.

This provides a more natural listening experience. Through connection with TruLink and the iPhone, Livio wearers may also experience an extra boost in amplification if necessary. The iPhone’s microphone becomes an assistive listening device, amplifying focused sounds wearers want to hear and delivering it directly to the hearing aids.
