Starkey Sound Bites is a podcast that shines a light on hearing loss, new research about how it is connected to overall health and wellness, and new hearing aid innovations that make it easier for people to hear better, so they can live better. Hosted by Starkey Chief Innovation Officer Dr. Dave Fabry.
What’s new in hearing aids? Which one is right for me? Can they relieve my tinnitus? And aren’t they all the same? Host Dave Fabry, Ph.D, Archelle Georgiou, MD, and Jamie Myers, Au.D. answer these questions and more in this special Better Hearing Month podcast.
Dave invites Dr. Timothy Shriver, Chairman of The Special Olympics, to the podcast to discuss his organization’s alliance with Starkey Cares, never saying “I’m just…”, putting the power of connections over “things”, and creating a movement that’s a welcome place for people who want to make a difference.
Starkey President and CEO, Brandon Sawalich, sits down with Dave to discuss why Covid erased any doubts that hearing is essential, how Starkey never stopped innovating during the pandemic, industry challenges and opportunities, the Starkey Expo, and why focusing on the patient has been a key to our success.
Thorsten Quaas, Starkey’s VP of European Sales, talks to Dave about his 36 years in the industry, how hearing aid technology has changed during that time, the art of custom devices, and what people outside of the U.S. are looking for from hearing aids.
Dave talks to Justin Osmond about growing up hard of hearing in a musical family, being a hearing aid power user, the awesomeness of accessories, and why — even though he may have hearing loss — he refuses to let hearing loss have him.
Peter Scheifele, Ph.D., calls in from the University of Cincinnati’s FETCHLAB to discuss how he began studying animal audiology, what humans have learned from animal hearing research, how to know if your pet is deaf, and hearing aids for dogs.
Starkey’s Chief Philanthropy Officer, Tani Austin, joins Dave to discuss strong women role models, Starkey Cares, fitting hearing aids on people across the globe, and always putting the patient first.
Dave talks to Starkey’s Founder, Owner and Chairman, Bill Austin, about how he got his start in the hearing industry, his quest to help the world hear, what he loves about custom hearing aids, and why caring is at the core of what we do.
The one and only Huey Lewis joins Dr. Dave to share his path to being a rock star, how Menière’s disease cut his singing career short, and why he recommends hearing aids to anyone with hearing loss.
Our Chief Technology Officer and EVP of Engineering, Achin Bhowmik, Ph.D., tells Dave what brought him to Starkey, how AI is a hearing technology game changer, and the many ways his team is turning hearing aids into want-to-have devices.
