Five US presidents, two popes, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, and other notable world leaders have enjoyed better hearing with the help of Starkey hearing aids, which launched in 1970 and rapidly grew to become one of the world’s best known brand names.
William Austin, who purchased Starkey Labs ear mold company and applied his expertise in hearing aid repair, used innovative research and development along with aggressive marketing strategies in an elite market to lead the company to prominence. Starkey’s fame as an innovator continues to grow, becoming a leader in the use of artificial intelligence in their hearing aids since 2017.
Major steps toward naturally clear sound processing and technological breakthroughs to support the overall wellness of their hearing aid wearers are at the heart of their use of AI in their hearing instruments.
Your hearing device is now able to track your physical activity and cognitive health, while also providing language translation, fall detection and alerts, tap control, and other cutting-edge features, like instant AI-based analysis of the acoustic environment in order to make immediate adjustments to improve speech intelligibility.
Starkey’s commitment to iPhone and Android connectivity is a natural part of being able to communicate the wellness information gathered by their devices. In combination with the Thrive app, users can link all of their digital devices with their hearing aids to enhance sound quality and share health monitoring data without the need for an in-office appointment.

Dr. Michelle stood out. Not only because she a highly qualified audiologist, but because she is a warm and caring human being. She has very high standards and was not content with my hearing correction until I was.
My initial thoughts when I met Dr. Michelle was how professional she was, how she listened to my individual concerns and how helpful she was to solve my problems.
I truly feel that Dr. Michelle cares deeply for her patients.
I have been experiencing an increased difficulty hearing with my most recent hearing aid and have recently moved to the area. After reading many reviews, I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Michelle based on the positive comments.
If you are like me and the quality of your hearing is important to you, service is more important than then the instruments themselves.
Dr. Michelle is the best.
