S Series™ iQ  |  Drive Architecture™

Powered by multi-core technology, Drive Architecture utilizes independent and fully programmable open architecture processors that efficiently carry out tasks in parallel by utilizing simultaneous multi-threading technology (SMT). Drive Architecture triples the processing power of previous platforms, allowing for super efficient, high-speed multi-tasking of signal processing algorithms for better performance. All this, while significantly improving battery life over our previous technology platform.

Simply put, Drive Architecture's multi-core, open architecture configuration enables the enhancements that maximize your patient's experience. With unprecedented clarity in noise, superior feedback elimination and high-resolution sound imaging — Drive Architecture is the force behind more successful patient results.

Powered by BluWave 2.0, Drive Architecture delivers an unprecedented audio experience with optimal power, efficiency and flexibility.

PureWave Feedback Eliminator

The company that defined feedback cancellation just redefined it with our patent-pending PureWave Feedback Eliminator. With broad bandwidth, faster processing and intelligent artifact elimination, this next generation in feedback cancellation is setting standards that have never existed before. Through the use of intelligent artifact elimination, even the most complex signals won't cause distortion in this class-leading feedback canceller.

Voice iQ

Voice iQ is so fast and smart it reduces noise between syllables of speech. Its two-part algorithm uses dynamic voice identification, coupled with a spectral noise control that calculates appropriate gain on a per channel basis. The result is unprecedented sound quality, ease of listening, and intelligibility of speech in noise.

InVision Directionality

Based on clinical performance measures and patient-proven results, our industry-leading directional system is designed to perform best in highly complex backgrounds of noise. S Series™ boasts the highest mean DI scores and the lowest operational noise floor, helping patients significantly increase their speech understanding in noise.

T² Remote

The new breakthrough T² Remote technology allows your patient to control their hearing aid using any cell or touch-tone phone, avoiding the need to carry additional hardware. T² discreetly and instantly classifies the touch-tone signal and automatically adjusts. Patients can use any touch-tone phone to select a memory or adjust volume.

Live Real Ear Measurement

Starkey was the first company to integrate real-ear measurement into a hearing aid. Now Live Real Ear Measurement in S Series takes this capability to the next level. With this system and the power of Inspire® fitting software, hearing care professionals can watch the hearing aid output in a patient's ear, live in real-ear SPL, while the system evaluates the hearing aid response and matches to your selected target — providing you with the most precise fitting information available.

Live Speech Mapping

Live Speech Mapping verifies hearing aid's processing of speech, or any live acoustic input, in real time. The 3D display engages patients and their families in the fitting process.

Automatic Telephone Solutions (ATS)

ATS automatically detects telephone use and adjusts to the optimal acoustic frequency response for telephone listening.

Intuitive Features

Hearing aids aren't helpful if people don't wear them. And too often, patients become confused when learning to use their hearing aids, abandoning the use of multiple features or programs. That's why Starkey's hearing instruments have convenient features to make using the devices simple and intuitive.

• Voice Indicators
  Alert the patient to the status of the hearing aid, low battery, memory and telephone modes in their choice of male or female voices in a wide variety of languages.
• Reminder
  Offers the option of programming audible voice or tone reminders for follow-up appointments and maintenance checks.
• Leisure Listening: Music Processing
  Offers multiple music genre settings designed to maximize sound quality and listening enjoyment.
• Leisure Listening: Television Processing
  This is a new memory program designed for optimal performance while watching television.
