Starkey Hearing Aids

Four Decades Of Innovation

From humble beginnings as a hearing aid repair shop, Starkey has done things differently. Starkey's focus is not just manufacturing hearing aids, it's improving the hearing lives of people around the world. To this end, Starkey have created the most advanced Research and Development department in the industry and continue to make life-changing advances year after year.

Starkey firsts include the first in-canal hearing aid, the first CIC hearing aid, the first hearing aid with nanotechnology and the first real-ear measurement integrated directly into a hearing device.

Breakthroughs Come In All Shapes And Sizes — Especially Small

Starkey's latest innovations in hearing aid design create an unparalleled listening experience while eliminating some of the most frustrating characteristics of older hearing aids. For the first time ever, hearing aids are virtually feedback-free. Starkey's nanotechnology also enabled them incorporate automatic telephone recognition across a full line of hearing aids.

Researching The Future

At the in Berkeley, CA, Starkey's researchers explore the medical and technological breakthroughs of the future. Research conducted at the Center is focused on two primary tracks: auditory perceptual science — how the auditory system perceives sound — and signal processing technology — how hearing aids can modify sound to enhance auditory perception.

Working with leading researchers and universities around the world, Starkey continues to seek ways to better understand the science of hearing loss and its impact on auditory perception and cognition, so we can continue developing the technology to improve it.
