Hearing aid doubles as fall alert

IF YOU are an older adult — or care for someone who is — the risk of a fall could be high on your list of worries. 

Hear More Audiology can help put your mind at rest with a hearing aid that also alerts caregivers in the event of a fall. 

Audiologist Chris Laird of Hear More Audiology said the correlation between hearing loss, ageing, and falling was one reason why Starkey designed the world’s first hearing aid with a fall detection feature in 2019. 

“Fast forward to 2024, and Starkey’s latest innovation, Genesis AI, goes beyond just enhancing your hearing,” she said. 

“Now, not only will wearers benefit from Starkey’s best sounding hearing aid ever, they and their loved ones can also enjoy increased peace of mind by alleviating worries associated with falls and helping wearers feel more independent. 

“Through advanced technology, this feature swiftly alerts caregivers or loved ones in the event of a fall, ensuring that help is on the way when it’s needed most.” 

The single device can help with hearing issues and eliminate the need and inconvenience of wearing a different fall alert device. 

The Genesis AI aids can provide up to 51 hours of use on a single charge and withstand sweat, dirt, dust, and drops of moisture, plus protection against immersion in water up to one meter. 

Wearers can choose from custom in-the-ear options to sleek behind-the-ear designs. 

Hear More Audiology is proud to offer Genesis AI with its advanced fall detect features. 

“As your locally owned and operated community hearing healthcare clinic, our staff have long-term, trusted relationships with our clients,” Chris said.
