All About the Starkey Destiny Hearing Aid

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Thinking about buying a Starkey Destiny hearing aid or two? These hearing aids have an excellent reputation for quality and innovation. They are BTE hearing aids, or behind-the-ear hearing aids, and several styles are available in the Destiny series. Built with BluWave Signal Processing, the Starkey Destiny  hearing aid adapts to your ever-changing environment, a factor that is certainly important for hearing aid wearers.

When you meet with a hearing professional, they will be able to determine the best Starkey Destiny hearing aid model for you, as there are several different kinds. Here are the key features of the Starkey Destiny hearing aid:

Directional Speech Detector (DSD). This feature reduces background noise and focuses on speech sounds. DSD monitors environments and adjusts to them.

Automatic Telephone Response. A big complaint about hearing aids is that talking on a telephone can be difficult. Thanks to Automatic Telephone Response, the Starkey Destiny hearing aid adjusts for optimal communication and eliminates feedback.

Active Feedback Intercept (AFI). AFI helps get rid of annoying feedback sounds like whistling.

Acoustic Signature. This state-of-the-art sound management tool detects and classifies different sound environments and then adapts to an optimal setting. It’s available on the Starkey Destiny 1200 and Starkey Destiny 1600.

What’s more is that the Starkey Destiny hearing aid series is stylish and thoughtfully designed.

Starkey Destiny 1600: Find it at Hearing Aid Express

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Made by Starkey, the Destiny 1600 is a quality hearing aid that offers enhanced hearing to people with hearing loss that is affecting their quality of life. This hearing aid is designed for maximum value and performance. Starkey is known for its innovative hearing aids, and the Destiny 1600 is no exception — it’s comfortable, unobtrusive and built for years of dependable hearing assistance.

Destiny 1600: A BTE Hearing Aid

Starkey Destiny hearing aids, including the Destiny 1600, are BTE hearing aids. BTE stands for “behind the ear,” since the hearing aid’s technology sits behind the wearer’s ear. These types of hearing aids are perfect for those worried about others being able to see that they’re wearing hearing aids, as BTE hearing aids are discreet.

Destiny 1600: Style

Not only is the Destiny 1600 unobtrusive in design, but it comes in several different colors. This means you can match the Starkey Destiny 1600 hearing aid to your hair color, skin tone or lifestyle, which makes it even more discreet.

Destiny 1600: Features

The Starkey 1600 has countless features and can intuitively adapt to the wearer’s ever-changing environment so that they may hear sounds more loudly and clearly. Active Feedback Intercept (AFI) is one feature, and it, according to Starkey, uses “a method that effectively erases whistling, squealing and other irritating feedback sounds.” So many features make this an outstanding hearing aid.

If you’d like to know more about the Starkey Destiny 1600 or if you have questions about hearing aids or hearing loss, visit your local Hearing Aid Express store. We have locations in Austin, Houston and Dallas, and we can also be contacted online.

New Starkey Hearing Aids Feature Sweep Technology

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

New from Starkey: hearing aids that feature Sweep Technology! We were excited to learn about this innovative new feature that will be found on the new Starkey S Series behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids. With Sweep Technology, instead of all of the traditional buttons found on hearing aids, there’s a touch surface that lets users adjust the volume and change settings just by sweeping or touching it with a finger.

Sweep Technology is very different and very innovative for hearing aids. Since there are no openings around the volume control wheel, it is impossible for moisture and dirt to get into the hearing aid. Plus, there is no mechanical movement required for activation — there is just a single seamless control on the sweep surface where users can have full access to changing memory, volume and standby controls. For example, when a user sweeps their finger up, the volume is raised. When they sweep down, the volume is lowered.

Starkey assures that even patients with limited dexterity will be able to easily change settings on hearing aids using Sweep Technology. For many wearers of hearing aids, changing the settings may be very difficult to do. That’s why Starkey spent three years researching and developing a way to incorporate advanced touch surface technology into a hearing aid. The company says their research has paid off — according to the company president, patients in their clinical trials have “overwhelmingly preferred Sweep Technology to traditional controls.”

Starkey Hearing Aids: Dallas, Houston and Austin

These new Starkey hearing aids are definitely an exciting new innovation in hearing technology, and their ease of use will no doubt make wearing and using hearing aids much simpler. Additionally, they deliver comfortable, high-resolution sound. If you have questions about Starkey hearing aids and are in Dallas, Houston or Austin, feel free to contact one of our Hearing Aid Express stores for more information.

Hearing Aids Don’t Have to Be Large

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

It’s something we hear quite a bit from people of all ages who are suffering from hearing loss: they don’t want to wear hearing aids because they’re too big and too easy to see. But that doesn’t have to be true. As a recent article in Frankfort, Kentucky’s State Journal points out, hearing aids are getting smaller and more specialized.

The article says that it’s estimated that 31 million people in the United States have hearing loss, while just 10 percent of those people wear hearing aids. The reasons for so many avoiding hearing aids have to do with cost and appearance — and mainly for the reason that they don’t believe the technology is any good. But the thing is that hearing aids are getting smaller and more specialized, and the technology is now much, much better than what it used to be.

With smaller computer chips, digitized programming and directional microphones that can tell the difference between voices and background noise, today’s hearing aids can really improve a person’s life. Hearing aids are programmed for specific tones, so those with profound hearing loss will have a more powerful device.

Getting a Small Hearing Aid

If you’re interested in finding out more about getting a small hearing aid, visit Hearing Aid Express. We offer several different models from well-known manufacturers like Starkey, ReSound and Unitron. We are also proud to offer a free hearing evaluation, which we highly recommend — and there is no obligation to buy a hearing aid if you are evaluated.
