It’s official: The holiday season is here. By now, our minds may be swirling with not only visions of sugarplums, but also gift lists, grocery lists, gatherings, greeting cards, going away, and getting in that shoveling or plowing everywhere in between.
But have no fear—there are many things we can do to keep up with all of the holiday hoopla and take care of ourselves in the process.
We can delegate. We can plan our spending. We can maintain healthy habits…We can treat our hearing loss—with Omega AI hearing aids.
Here are 6 ways Omega AI can help us keep up with the holiday season through better hearing technology.
1. Mix and a mingle—we won’t miss a word
What’s a holiday gathering without the excitement of catching up with the people we care about? And when we’re wearing Omega AI hearing aids, we won’t miss a jingling beat.
Not only will we be able to hear conversations with a genuine sense of clarity, but we’ll also be able to keep up with them—wherever we go, in fact: As the world’s first hearing aid with a built-in directionality system, Omega AI intuitively detects speech and background noise around us and adjusts accordingly with exceptional sound. Room to room, appetizer to appetizer, our hearing adapts as we go.
What fun it is to reconnect on everything from our favorite tween’s graphic novel heroes to our bestie’s upcoming vacation to every joyful toast the evening has to offer. With Omega AI by our side, we’ve got this.
2. Let it snow—Omega AI are waterproof
The weather outside can be frightful this time of year, but we needn’t fear rain, snow, or any other moisture slowing us down: Omega AI are built to be waterproof*, sweatproof, and everyday- (and that includes holiday-) proof.
So, whether we’re out window-shopping, caroling, or full-on snowplowing, we can count on Omega AI to withstand snowflakes, raindrops, and any sudden drops or dunks that may arise, all season long. Bring it on, Mother Nature—with Omega AI, it’s durability all the way!
3. Traveling? Ho, ho, ho—off we go!
Some say we can’t beat home sweet home for the holidays, but sometimes it’s seeing our loved ones that truly makes us feel “at home”—wherever we are: This is where Omega AI can be a huge help with simplifying travel during the festive season.
Ensuring we stay connected every step of our journey, this hearing aid integrates the future-forward Bluetooth® LE Audio streaming protocol to help us connect faster and stream more robustly—everything from daily news to road trip tunes.
Moreover, LE Audio gives us Auracast™ connectivity when we pair Omega AI with the My Starkey app. This helps ensure that not even the busiest airports can get in the way of hearing important travel announcements (example: flight updates) from the PA system—we can stream them straight to our hearing aids with stellar clarity (if that airport broadcasts via Auracast).
Of course, we’ll also maintain our best hearing and communication on the flight** itself, whether it’s with our seatmates or the flight staff (we’ll always know when the flight attendants are approaching with the dining cart, even from behind!). It’s all thanks to Omega AI and its built-in directionality system, allowing us to pinpoint speech from all directions. Merry travels!
4. Dashing through the stores—with Omega AI every step of the way
Whether we’re checking things off our gift list or collecting ingredients for the big feast, Omega AI will get us to the retail finish line with flying colors.
Remember, this hearing aid gives us the improved ability to hear and communicate. So, when it comes to store employees, we can get our questions answered, find the goodies we need, and be out of the jam-packed mall faster than we can say “season’s greetings.”
We can even count our steps while we’re at it via the Health section of the My Starkey app. So, forget the stress and trade it for some holiday glow on the go!
5. Voices singing, let’s be jolly—Edge Mode+ has us covered
Holiday gatherings are known for being merry and bright. But for the times when we notice the merriment maxing out (as in, getting a little too loud), don’t worry—there’s Edge Mode+.
Think of this My Starkey app feature as Omega AI’s “little helper,” giving us instant speech clarity with the tap of a button in any challenging listening environment. Do you hear what I hear? Yep—our best hearing without interruption.
6. Make it a holiday to remember—with Smart Assistant reminders
Why bother making a list and checking it twice when we can create reminders and stream them through our Omega AI hearing aids? Using our voice, we simply ask My Starkey’s Smart Assistant to establish reminders to prompt us of important dates. These can be outings such as dentist appointments or jingle-bell balls, or key tasks such as taking medication or buying stocking stuffers.
Plus, Smart Assistant uses innovative Gen AI technology, meaning that if any questions come up along the way—like “Where is the nearest toy store?” or “Can you change my hearing aid program to ‘Café,’?”—Smart Assistant will help us with either, in a detailed, conversational manner.
So, when it comes to completing all of the tasks on our lists, we’ll be good—for goodness sakes—thanks to Omega AI and My Starkey.
