Did you know about the Starkey Livio hearing aid app that controls Starkey hearing aids
and provides advanced functionality? In this video, I’m talking about the Starkey Thrive
hearing control app. Coming up!
Hi, I'm Dr. Derek - audiologist, audio engineer, and musician with Pro Fit Hearing.com bringing
you the best insight in today's latest hearing aids, headphones, and audio technology to
improve your life. If you have concerns about your hearing, always consult with your
local physician or audiologist.
Today, I’m talking about the Starkey Thrive hearing control app designed specifically
for the Starkey Livio Edge AI, Livio AI, and Livio hearing aids. This app supports both
Apple and Android devices. If you want to see which smartphones are compatible with
the app, check out the link in the description below.
Ok, so let’s take a look at the app. It uses five main pages that are accessible by clicking
on an icon along the bottom of the screen.
On the home page you’ll see your Thrive score which includes both the body and brain
scores. If you tap on the circle, it will take you to another screen that provides even
more details about how it determines these scores. Note that we are now on the app’s
third page and the small bar graph icon is selected at the bottom.
First you can see the body score is divided into the number of steps, minutes of exercise,
and hours of standing. This is similar to what you may see on an Apple Watch for example.
If you click on the brain icon, you’ll see your use, engagement, and environment scores.
The use score is determined by how much you use your hearing aids. The engagement score
is determined by how much you speak with other people or stream media to your hearing aids.
And the environment score is determined by the variety of different listening situations
you wear your hearing aids in.
These scores help encourage you to wear your hearing aids
consistently throughout your day.
You can review your past scores by clicking on
the different dates at the bottom of the screen.
Now, let’s go back to the first screen by clicking on the home button icon.
At the upper right hand corner you’ll see a hearing aid icon. Click on this and you'll
see your current battery life. Click on "about" to see your hearing aid model, serial numbers,
and current firmware version.
Go back to the main screen and you’ll see a right and left volume control for your hearing
aids. You can also mute both sides by clicking on the middle speaker icon.
You can change the hearing aid program settings by clicking on the blue, current memory button.
You will see whatever programs are available in your hearing aids, and you can also create
a custom program. In order to adjust the program settings, click the bottom icon that's second
from the left. It looks like circles and lines (or volume faders).
On this screen you can change the frequency response and adjust the background noise level
for speech, noisy places, and windy environments. The last icon will bring up a screen where
you can control your microphone direction. You can have the microphones pick-up from
the front only, all around you, use a switching mode, or use an automatic mode.
The third page or small bar graph icon at the bottom takes you to the brain scores that
we’ve already discussed.
Now, there are two more pages within this app that you want to know about, but first

Fit Hearing. Comment below, does this app provide the features you’re looking for?
The fourth page or remote icon at the bottom takes you to the controls for other wireless
accessories that are compatible with Starkey hearing aids. These accessories include the
tv streamer and several wireless microphones. You can adjust the streaming volume and microphone
volume here. Start and stop the audio streaming with the play button above.
The fifth page or horizontal lines icon at the bottom allows you to access even more
features. You can read the user guide, check device settings, change Thrive score goals,
or access hearing care anywhere for remote adjustments with your provider. You can also
use Thrive care to share activity data with caregivers, set reminders, perform a hearing
aid check, locate your hearing aids, or find out more info about the app.
