Starkey Wi Series features their latest noise reduction and speech preservation system, and virtually eliminates buzzing and whistling. It is designed to deliver incredible sound clarity even in the noisiest situations. Wi Series can also stream stereo sound directly from your TV, radio or computer to your hearing aids, like headphones.
The new Starkey Wi Series has a number of groundbreaking features;
IRIS Technology is Starkey’s new wireless integrated circuit platform that lets you connect directly – and wirelessly – to most media devices. Now you can hear TV, radio and your computer in stereo-quality sound directly through your hearing aids.
The biggest problem hearing aid wearers experience is that annoying whistling called feedback, which can be caused by any number of things, such as hugging a loved one, having the hearing aid brushed by hair, or simply being outside on a windy day. Thanks to a breakthrough feature called PureWave Feedback Eliminator, Starkey hearing aids virtually eliminate buzzing and whistling.
Hearing comfortably in noise is one of the biggest problems for people who wear hearing aids. Voice iQ is designed to maintain speech understanding in noise and reduce listening effort.
Chances are you can hear the voices that are directly in front of you when in quiet situations, but have trouble when the noise level increases, like when you are in a restaurant with family and friends. The most advanced modern digital hearing aids are designed to constantly analyze the sounds of various environments and automatically select the appropriate programming mode for specific situations. InVision Directionality is a feature engineered to classify and react to a wide range of environmental sounds to provide comfort and better understanding in even the noisiest situations.
Anyone who wears hearing aids knows telephone conversations can sometimes be difficult. With Automatic Telephone Solutions, Starkey hearing aids virtually eliminate feedback while automatically adjusting for optimal communication on the telephone.
Special memory capability that allows your hearing aids to automatically adjust to the preset music and TV listening settings most comfortable for you.
T2 – First-ever technology that discreetly and simply adjusts your hearing aid’s memory or volume using any touch-tone phone without additional hardware.
Thanks to Starkey’s proprietary Advanced HydraShield technology, your Wi Series hearing aids are 100 percent resistant to water, humidity, sweat, rust and corrosion.
SurfLink Media Streamer – Starkey’s set-and-forget wireless transmitter requires no pairing. Plug it into your TV or stereo and you’re done! It automatically streams sound directly into your hearing aids when you’re in range. You can transition from one device to another simply by moving from room to room. And, it allows others in the room listen to the TV or stereo at the volume they prefer.
SurfLink Remote – A remote is available with Starkey Wi Series hearing aids.
The Starkey Wi Series is available as a RIC product at present but plans are in place to introduce ‘in the ear’ versions in time.
