Approved by patients and professionals alike, the Synergy platform has made a real impact in the lives of patients. Synergy is the only platform to feature quad core technology and is the first to provide supreme precision for audibility and the ultimate optimization for listening enjoyment.

SYNERGY PLATFORM ADVANCES STARKEY SOUND

Since day one, Starkey® has centered everything we do around the patient. We help enable your patients to hear better in difficult environments and live a better life. As we continue to innovate, we do so with you and your patients in mind.

When we designed Synergy, we knew we wanted the platform to be flexible and powerful enough to serve today’s patients while also meeting the demands of the next generation. Today’s hearing aid wearers want to hear all the subtleties of life, even in complex listening environments: the inflection in the voice of a spouse or the nuances in the notes of a favorite song. They also don’t want to jeopardize their active lifestyles, and prefer devices that allow them to thrive — not slow down.

Today’s patients want more because they do more

We’re excited to announce our next-generation operating system, Acuity OS 2 with Interactive Intelligence that’s five times faster than its predecessor — delivering at the speed of patients’ lives like never before. Interactive Intelligence quickly and continuously adapts to changing environments when speech is present, allowing patients to effortlessly move from one lifescape to the next — without missing a word.

Acuity OS 2 also includes new protocols designed to increase patient satisfaction and optimize initial gain settings. This gives you more time to counsel and educate your patients on their new devices.

HALO 2 CONNECTS PATIENTS TO THEIR WORLD

The TruLink Hearing Control app is also available for select Android phones

Made forHalo 2 works seamlessly with

iPhone, iPad®, iPod touch® and

Apple Watch®

Ultimate Personalization

Patients can control and personalize noise management settings on-demand to ensure they don’t miss a word in wind, noise and crowds. SoundSpace™ has also been relocated to Personalized Control to help patients more easily make adjustments to sounds in specific environments.

Phone Calls*

Your patients can answer calls with the touch of a button and hear entire conversations when streaming directly to their Halo 2 hearing aids via Bluetooth® technology.

SoundSpace

SoundSpace enables patients to easily adjust sound to a specific setting. By simply moving their finger on the screen, they can adjust sound to their liking. They can also save their preferences in different locations as a custom TruLink Memory so that they’re comfortable in any listening environment.

Remote Control

Patients can easily change volume and switch memories on their hearing aids from their Apple® or Android™ device. They can also make adjustments with a visual indicator bar for better control and nearly infinite levels to suit their preference.

TruLink Memories

Up to 20 TruLink Memories can be created using the SoundSpace tool on the TruLink app. Patients can even geotag memories using the built-in GPS on their device. A geotagged memory will recognize where they are, and automatically adjust their Halo 2 hearing aids when they enter that space. For instance, a geotagged “coffee shop” memory will automatically activate when they walk into their favorite coffee shop.

Pristine Audio Streaming*

Halo 2 hearing aids provide direct streaming of phone calls, music and media from a patient’s iPhone — so they can enjoy clear communication and pristine audio streaming any time, anywhere, for impressive, immersive sound.

TruLink Adaptive Car Mode

With TruLink’s Adaptive Car Mode, Halo 2 hearing aids will automatically change to a setting designed to reduce the distracting sounds of driving and enhance patients’ overall driving experiences.

Live Microphone*

Patients can record, play back and email audio as it happens – or listen to it later. They can even use their iPhone as a microphone. They simply set their iPhone nearby, turn on the feature and conversations are streamed directly to their Halo 2 hearing aids.

Siri Integration*Let your patients know they can have Siri® read texts and emails directly to their Halo 2 hearing aids.

Find My Hearing Aids

Lost hearing aids can be easily located using the Find My Hearing Aids feature with both a location and a timestamp. A signal detector sends a stronger or weaker signal based on how close a patient is to locating their Halo 2 hearing aids.

Apple Watch Compatible*

The TruLink app for Apple Watch can control volume, change memories and mute patients’ hearing aids right from their wrists.

Tinnitus Treatment

Integrated controls in the app help patients control the volume and modulation rate of our patent-pending Multiflex Tinnitus Technology.
