Audio visual technologies combine

Visual assistance company OrCam and hearing aid manufacturers Starkey have partnered to combine their technologies for people who live with vision and hearing loss.

Starkey’s Livio Edge AI hearing aids and OrCam’s MyEye device can be paired via a wireless connection to create a single solution for patients.

When paired to a Livio Edge AI hearing aid, the audio from OrCam MyEye is streamed wirelessly to the hearing aid.

Professor Amnon Shashua, co-founder and co-CEO of OrCam Technologies, said: ‘This holistic technological approach provides the ability for those with both vision and hearing loss to access the world more independently.’
