Starkey’s new Livio AI hearing aid translates 27 languages in real-time and also doubles as a hands-free earpiece
Amid all the extra features, the Livio AI hearing aid still fulfills its core function. It uses a combination of directional microphones and machine learning algorithms to classify the wearer’s listening environment: chatting outside in a backyard surrounded by natural sounds, having a conversation in a loud restaurant, or listening to music at a concert. The hearing aid then adjusts to the best listening mode for the wearer’s acoustic conditions.
A near-field magnetic induction system provides a wireless link between the hearing aids worn in each ear, which enables the system to seamlessly balance user adjustments to volume or listening environment mode. The ear-to-ear link also enables binaural audio signal processing, which can enhance the wearer’s ability to hear speech in a noisy environment. For example, the hearing aid system may choose to amplify the voice of the person standing directly in front of the wearer.
The Livio AI hearing aid has a fitness tracker with inertial sensors that can count steps and track daily physical activity. But it also comes up with daily wellness scores for both physical and mental health and reports the scores on an associated smartphone app. The mental health “brain score” is based on hearing aid usage time, the degree of social engagement derived from the acoustic environment, and the extent of active listening.
