On today’s episode of Asking for a Trend, Host Josh Lipton breaks down some of the top stories and themes of the trading week.
Daymond John, FUBU and the Shark Group founder, and Brandon Sawalich, Starkey CEO, discuss how Starkey is using AI to revolutionize the hearing aid industry.
John explains that he uses Starkey hearing aids, and explains, “they’re way more than something that I just use to amplify hearing, which is probably the most important part. But now I can use them for so much more.” Sawalich explains that Starkey is “redefining hearing aids and eliminating the stigma of what hearing aids is.” He continues, “It’s not about amplifying sound. You have a mini computer inside your ear where basically the ear is the new wrist, and helping people be the best selves they can be each and every day.” The technology can be used for things like listening to music, sending messages, and translating languages. Sawalich even calls it “your personal assistant.”
