App summary

The Thrive Hearing Control app works seamlessly with sensor-enabled hearing aids to give you full control of your hearing. Change settings easily, adjust volume, create customized memories, and stream music or phone calls with the touch of a button.


The Thrive app gives you access to Healthable features like social engagement and activity tracking. You can set goals and your Engagement Score and Activity Score will track how close you are to meeting them daily. The Thrive app also offers information services like Thrive Assistant, Translate, Transcribe, and Self Check, which lets you check your hearing aid performance without an office visit.

And that’s just the beginning. Thrive also offers:


EDGE MODE
Industry-leading sound performance provides you with instantaneous adjustments for the most challenging listening situations.

REMOTE CONTROL
Easily adjust your hearing aid volume and change between memories created by you or your hearing professional.


PERSONALIZED MEMORIES
Create custom memories using manual and customizable sound adjustments. And geotag these memories so your hearing aids automatically adjust when returning to that location.


FALL DETECTION AND ALERTS
Designed to help you stay independent, falls can be detected, and alert messages sent to selected contacts.


ACTIVITY / ENGAGEMENT TRACKING
Track steps and other activity and set daily goals to inspire a healthy lifestyle. Monitor hearing aid use and social engagement and set daily goals to positively impact brain health.


THRIVE ASSISTANT
Ask questions about your hearing aids like, “how do I adjust volume?” or general questions like, “what’s the weather today?” and get quick answers.


TRANSLATE
This first-to-world feature helps you easily communicate with people who speak other languages.


THRIVE CARE COMPATIBLE
You can use the Thrive app to share helpful information like physical activity, hearing aid usage and social engagement with people you select who have the new Thrive Care app. This helps you maintain independence and provides peace of mind for the Thrive Care users you selected.


SELF CHECK
Allows you to perform a diagnostic test of your hearing aid components without having to make an office visit.


TRANSCRIBE
It’s like closed captioning for real life. Conversations are transcribed so you can read what's being said.


TELEHEAR™
Get help anywhere. Connect with your hearing professional by video call and obtain minor hearing aid adjustments directly to your hearing aids and smartphone.


FIND MY HEARING AIDS
Easily locate lost hearing aids. A signal detector sends a stronger or weaker signal based on how close you are to the location of the hearing aids.

AUDIO*
Enables carefree communication using your Android phone. Delivers superior sound and pristine audio streaming of any music or media played through your Android device.


The Thrive app works with hearing aids from Starkey, Audibel, NuEar, MicroTech and AGX® Hearing. These hearing aids must be purchased from a hearing professional. All features are not available on all hearing aid styles. Check with your hearing professional for details.

*Due to the large number of different Android phones and their capabilities with connecting and streaming audio to hearing aids, Starkey cannot guarantee full compatibility of this Thrive app with all phone models.

Left hearing will not show up in the app. This prevents me from accessing profiles. It's connected and can stream to both hearing aids. Now for the crackhead part. Why tf is there a fitness app included? There's a fitness app built into my phone. My watch has a fitness app. If I set my phone on the counter or in the cup holder of my car, it'll stream flawlessly. But if I go for a walk, it'll cut out. Almost like it's registering each step. Galaxy S20. Disappointed. An EQ would be nice.

I'm not super fond of this app. I want more control over streaming. I want the option to hear those around while streaming. I want to be able to block certain apps from streaming to my hearing aids. For instance, the Amazon app steams to my aids for no reason. Making it so I can't hear while I shop. Give me more control.

I have to constantly restart my phone to get the hearing aids to stay connected. I'm talking 20 times a day. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and cleared the cache over and over. I could have gotten cheaper hearing aids without an app and been happier. You are an established and popular hearing aid company. Do better...
