New Hearing Aid Sound Quality
Makes Impossible, Possible
MINNEAPOLIS, MN: At the nation’s
Silicon Valley of nano hearing innovation, scientists at Starkey Hearing Technologies unveiled a tiny device called
circa AI, which in just a few weeks has
become the bellwether for a revolution
in healthcare.
“This is the best sounding, best
performing hearing aid we have ever
made,” announced Dr. Achin Bhowmik,
Starkey’s chief technology officer and
executive vice president of engineering. “When you put it on, you forget
you have it on and you can wear it all
the time. It has automatic connectivity,
streaming your television and cell phone
right into your ear, hands free.”
Dr. Bhowmik joined Starkey, the
nation’s largest hearing aid technology
company, to connect Intel’s advanced
sensor and artificial-intelligence capabilities within an all-new, svelte ear-worn
hearing aid that weighs less than a
dime and employs the same artificial
intelligence used in Apple’s continuous
glucose sensor to be built into its Apple
Watch.

“Circa AI provides the user clean
hearing in noise, significant reduction
in listening effort and less cognitive
fatigue,” said Dr. David Fabry, chief
innovation officer.
Dr. Bhowmik adds, “I will give
you my perspective as a normal-hearing person. I wear circa AI all the time
because it streams my phone calls
hands-free, and when I go to a loud
restaurant where the volume is so loud
anyone would have trouble hearing – I
feel super-human.”
