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.”
