Starkey

Starkey Hearing Technologies is a privately held, global hearing technology company headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minn.

We develop products using an evidence-based design approach, meaning that rigorous testing takes place to prove the benefits of a new technology or algorithm before a hearing aid is ever fit on a patient. Every Starkey Hearing Technologies employee is committed to helping people on their journey to better hearing every day.

Starkey Hearing Technologies operates 25+ facilities and conducts business in more than 100 markets worldwide. We develop, manufacture and distribute hearing aids via three distinct brands - Audibel, NuEar and our original brand, Starkey.
