“Starkey has been a world leader in custom hearing aid technology for years with the most recent Muse hearing aids becoming one of the most popular product lines in Germany and SoundLens Synergy becoming our most popular invisible product,” said Starkey Hearing Technologies Director of European Operations, Thorsten Quaas. “The Muse hearing aid line provides customers with the highest quality of hearing technology and the personalization only Starkey custom-fit products can offer. We are excited to see the incredible advancements of both technologies in the new IQ versions come 2018.”
New Features with Acuity Immersion Technology, Inspired by Virtual Reality Research
Built with Starkey Hearing Technologies’ Synergy platform and Acuity OS 2 operating system, the new iQ technologies will include the following new features:
- Acuity Immersion – Designed to leverage microphone placement to aid with high-frequency information for improved sound quality and sense of spatial awareness, the company says this technology has the potential to help patients relearn key acoustic brain cues to support clear speech, a sense of presence, and spatial attention for vital connection to their environment.
- Acuity Immersion Directionality – Designed to restore front-to-back cues for a more natural, safer listening experience.
- Speech Indicators for Memory – Provides descriptive names for memory environments rather than numeric indicators.
- Smart VC – Allows for an increase in gain in all channels not already at maximum, to give wearers a desired increase in loudness when needed.
“As part of our commitment to lead the world in hearing innovation, we are excited to share the results of our collaboration with the world’s top researchers in today’s most advanced technologies at EUHA 2017,” said Starkey Hearing Technologies President Brandon Sawalich. “By working closely with leading researchers in the fields of neuroscience, virtual reality, audiology, and signal processing to integrate advancements into our award-winning products, this technology enables us to provide patients with new levels of presence, clarity, and personalization previously unattainable with traditional hearing devices.”
Starkey Audiology Research Shines with Talks on Cognition and Digital Noise Reduction
On October 19 and 20, Galster will give two special lectures relating to Starkey Hearing Technologies’ research efforts in cognition and hearing loss, digital noise reduction technology, and patient experiences. Topics include:
- Oct. 19 at 11:00 a.m. (GMT+2) – “Searching for specificity in cognitive screeners: MoCA vs. PNT”
- Oct. 20 at 11:30 a.m. (GMT+2) – “Does noise tolerance predict patient preference for digital noise reduction?”

I am interested in this hearing aid. Where can I find in in Long Island NY? What is the cost?
Cost please
need price and who to contact for procurement
Are these completely hidden and are they available in Canada
Are these available in the US? What is the range in price?
I would like to know where I can get information about German hearing aids in Spokane Wa.
Cost, please?
I wish I could have stayed with a hearing aid instead of going through this: https://cihorrorstory.com/
but the fact was that my hearing was all gone in one ear and therefore my decision to have a CI was based on that fact. You might want to warn some of your patients about the dangers of a cochlear implant.
interesting in knowing more. where you can purchase them….cost?
I am interested in purchasing this hearing aid, where is it available in California, Los Angeles?
