Livio AI hearing aids are now as smart as most wearables
Among the mountains of sexy technology on the market, it's fair to say that hearing aids don't feature too highly when it comes to innovation and aspirational living. But as Starkey Hearing Technologies demonstrated with its Livio AI device last year, there's a lot to be done in this field -- and now its smart hearing aid has gotten even smarter.
Livio AI hearing aid doubles as a fitness tracker
Hearing aid giant Starkey has dabbled in smart listening devices before, but not like this. The company has unveiled Livio AI, an earpiece that's as much a connected wearable as it is an audio booster. Its AI and sensors will improve your hearing, to be clear -- it can automatically compensate for loud environments and switch modes based on location, with a mobile app providing fine-tuning. However, it's also loaded with features that would normally require a fitness tracker or smartphone.
