Starkey Hearing Aids

Starkey Laboratories, Inc. came about in the early 1970s through the merger of a professional aid service and a small earmold company, but it gained fire and momentum through a dream that allowed founder William Austin to gain focus and move forward to create one of the largest worldwide hearing technology corporations in the world. Starkey hearing aids comprise at least ten different custom programmable series lines, but the company has also brought about other hearing-related innovations, including the Earborne headset technology and cochlear surgical devices. As of the present time, Starkey owns and operates thirty-three complexes throughout the world, covering every continent and eighteen countries that include North America, Canada, Central America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

As for Starkey hearing aids, ten lines consist of rapidly growing brands such as CE-1™ (the first) through CE-7™, Aries™, Sequel™, Cetera™, Endeavor™, Arista™, Genesis™, Axent™, Tympanette™, and Intra™, the last of which was the model specifically customized for President Ronald Reagan in the early 1980s. Although Starkey produces a wide array of styles, “Completely-in-the-Ear” (CIC) hearing instruments are among Starkey’s specialization due to the company’s dedicating to advance on developing hearing technology by researching through a human hearing approach. This is why CICs are predominant in the design and the making. CICs are placed in the ear, closer to the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and so assume a more “intimate” stance with the user. The Tympanette™, the tymp style hearing aid by Starkey, is regarded as the smallest CIC hearing aid ever made and is quite an industrial innovation for sheer minute size and complexity. Other Starkey model lines, such as Genesis™, Cetera™, Aries™, Sequel™, and Axent™ are known for their integration of Precision Directional Imaging system™ (or PDI), which allows users to focus on sounds that come to life inside the ear canal, as they pass through the eardrum and enter the inner ear. The Starkey Axent™ hearing aids, as a matter of fact, have become the standard for all hearing aid instruments operating on advanced digital technology.
