Omega Ai Key Features
At Starkey, excellence in innovation, quality, service, and delivery drives extraordinary results. We are pushing beyond limits to shape the future of hearing technology.
Omega AI enters the market as an engineering breakthrough only Starkey could deliver, continuing the momentum of Edge AI and proving once again that the industry’s only privately-owned company is setting the pace for innovation.
The Connection Between Health and Hearing
Hearing health is directly connected to overall health and well-being. That’s been proven, and it means people who are able to hear can engage with the world around them and live better and healthier lives.
Ever-increasing evidence also shows treatment of hearing loss with hearing aids can improve or limit some serious health issues like cognitive decline and dementia.
Omega Ai lets people of all ages take a proactive approach to their overall wellness. Sensors inside the hearing aids detect movement, activities and different gestures. The hearing aids then communicate with each other, and with multiple accessories, to deliver meaningful benefits beyond traditional amplification.
You will not only hear better but live better thanks to real-time feedback about your overall body and cognitive fitness.
