Achin Bhowmik, CTO of Starkey, presented their new Genesis AI hearing aid technology at the 2023 tinyML Summit. The redesigned hearing aids mimic the biological processes of how people sense and understand the world.
Starkey announced that it “continues to lead the hearing industry into a new era with Evolv AI, Starkey’s award-winning line of hearing aids.” Now with “clearer sound quality, more background noise reduction, improved 2-Way Audio capabilities, and a simplified remote fitting portal, we’re making it more effortless to experience Starkey Sound wherever you are,” the company says.
Starkey announced it is entering into a research collaboration with researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine to study the use of hearing aids equipped with embedded sensors and artificial intelligence to track and mitigate health risks as well as enhance speech intelligibility in challenging listening environments.
Bhowmik is responsible for Starkey’s technology strategy, global research, product development, and engineering departments. Since joining Starkey in 2017, he has led the organization’s efforts to transform hearing aids into multifunctional health devices with advanced sensors and artificial intelligence technologies.
