Locally developed hearing aid cuts through the noise -- and masks -- with help of AI [View all]
https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/locally-developed-hearing-aid-cuts-through-the-noise-and-masks-with-help-of-ai/?ampThe “AI” stands for artificial intelligence. According to Starkey, the hearing aid is constantly adjusting with the AI technology, with up to “55 million personalized adjustments every hour.”
“Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good,” Dr. Dave Fabry, chief innovation officer with Starkey, said about the line of Evolv AI hearing aids. “We had no idea that we were developing it for something that would become such a part of our lives now two years later.”
By either double-tapping the hearing aid or initiating it through a smartphone app, people engage “Edge Mode,” which directs the hearing aid to focus in on speech and drown out some of the background noise.

The hearing aid also allows people to listen to music through them, take phone calls, track physical activity and will send an alert to designated emergency contacts if the user falls down.
