What was said
"If somebody was wearing our product, falls, it detects a fall, it sends a text to 3 of their family members... I've had many letters thanking us for what we've done because it saved somebody's life."
New AI-powered hearing aids from Starkey include six embedded sensors that detect falls and automatically text up to three family members. The devices also track biometrics including heart rate, temperature, and gait analysis. Sawalich confirmed multiple instances where this feature has saved lives.
