What was said

"We were at 74 a year ago... 78. I didn't even know there were 78 languages."

Starkey's Genesis AI hearing aids now translate 78 languages in near real-time, effectively eliminating language barriers for wearers. Brecka tested the technology with his Portuguese-speaking housekeeper and described it as 'spy level' capability. The company has added 4 languages in the past year alone.
