Starkey, Eden Prairie, Minn, has announced its newest and most advanced line of hearing aids, Evolv AI, has won a 2022 MUSE Design Award in the Product Design, Medical Device category. Having received over 6,000 entries from all over the globe, this annual international competition honors excellence in creativity, innovation, and quality.
“I would like to thank the Starkey team for its relentless pursuit of excellence,” said Starkey President and CEO Brandon Sawalich. “Your tireless work to push the boundaries of innovation continues to earn international recognition for outstanding achievements in design. Hearing aid wearers deserve the best in design, quality, and performance, and that is exactly what we are giving them.”
According to Starkey, Evolv AI set the stage for an entirely new hearing ecosystem that not only emphasizes hearing’s impact on overall health and wellness but creates an effortless user experience. The hearing aids are built on Starkey Sound™ which is modeled after the human auditory system. Like the brain, Starkey Sound is designed to automatically suppress background noise and increase speech audibility and intelligibility with machine learning technology. The combination of these features creates an effortless hearing experience for users, says the company.
“Congratulations to the Starkey team for this impressive, international recognition,” said Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering, Achin Bhowmik, Ph.D. “Evolv AI is not only aesthetically appealing with outstanding product design, but it is also a multifunctional health and communication device. I am so proud to be part of a team that is continually recognized for cutting-edge products that truly help people live better lives.”
