Step into the future of hearing technology as Dave Fabry and Holly Schissel unveil Starkey's groundbreaking Edge AI platform and accessories that are revolutionizing the hearing experience. This fascinating deep dive showcases how cutting-edge innovation is removing barriers for people with hearing loss in ways previously unimaginable.

At the heart of this conversation is Starkey's Deep Neural Network technology, delivering up to 13dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio while maintaining all-day battery life—essentially turning a noisy restaurant into a comfortable listening environment. The duo explores their newest accessories: the Table Microphone with its sophisticated multi-array system for group settings, and the Remote Microphone+ that doubles as a hearing aid controller, eliminating the need for multiple devices.

Perhaps most exciting is the discussion around Auracast technology, the future of wireless audio connectivity. Imagine receiving airport announcements, museum audio tours, or television audio directly through your hearing aids without additional equipment. This Bluetooth-on-steroids technology will transform accessibility in public spaces, not just for hearing aid users but anyone using compatible devices.

The conversation highlights Starkey's philosophy of fitting both the hearing loss and the lifestyle—recognizing that even the best hearing aids sometimes need accessories for optimal performance in challenging environments. With Edge Mode Automatic, users can engage enhanced settings for difficult listening situations that automatically adjust as environments change, providing a seamless, intuitive experience.
