Health Tracking Features in Modern Hearing Aids
The Starkey Omega AI goes beyond hearing improvement by passively tracking respiratory rate, balance, steps, and social engagement throughout the day.

Most people walk into our office focused on one thing, hearing better. That’s why you make the appointment, and rightly so. What often surprises patients is everything else a device like the Starkey Omega AI can do quietly in the background as you go about your day. Today’s hearing aids do much more than amplify sound. They can also help you keep track of aspects of your health and wellness.
Hearing Aids Have Quietly Become Health Devices
For a long time, hearing aids were judged on sound alone. Can they handle a loud restaurant? Does speech sound natural, or thin and processed? Those questions still decide whether a device is worth wearing, and sound performance isn't something we compromise on. They're just no longer the full picture.
Starkey has been building wellness tools into its hearing aids for years under the name Healthable technology. Omega AI pushes that further than any model before it. It counts your steps, logs how much of your day you spend in conversation, and adds two features nothing else on the market has: an automatic respiratory rate monitor and a balance training tool called Balance Builder.
What the Breathing Monitor Tracks
The respiratory rate monitor is a first for the industry. It counts your resting breaths per minute automatically, in the background. There's no app to open and no sitting still for a reading. You wear your hearing aids and it works.
So why does breathing matter? Your resting breath rate turns out to be a useful signal about what's happening in your body. Noticeable shifts can point to illness, elevated stress, or changes in heart health, sometimes before you feel anything is off. A steady passive record of that gives you and your physician real context when something starts to change.
Battery drain is usually the first question people ask about any added feature. Starkey built this one so the monitoring has no measurable effect on battery life. Omega AI still delivers 51 hours on a charge with health tracking running. That was deliberate. A wellness feature you have to switch off to get through the day isn't much of a feature.
How Balance Builder Works on Fall Risk
Falls are one of the biggest health threats older adults face, and hearing loss is a documented risk factor. Your inner ear does more than let you hear. It helps keep you upright, and research links even mild hearing loss to a higher chance of falling.
Starkey worked with Stanford University to develop and validate the balance assessment feature found in earlier devices. Balance Builder takes the next step. Through the My Starkey app, it walks you through guided exercises at home built to improve your stability and coordination over time. The point isn't only to measure your risk. It's to do something about it. No equipment, no gym, just your phone.
Steps, Social Time, and What They Reveal
Omega AI tracks daily steps and social engagement too, meaning how much time you actually spend talking with other people. That last one tells you more about your health than you'd expect.
Hearing loss tends to pull people out of social situations without them fully noticing. Dinners get skipped. Phone calls get shorter. That kind of withdrawal is tied to cognitive decline and depression. When your hearing aids track engagement, you and your audiologist can see whether treatment is turning into a more connected life or whether something still needs adjusting. Data like that is worth having.
The Fitting Behind the Technology
None of this helps if the devices sit in a drawer. A hearing aid programmed poorly for your specific loss won't sound the way it should, and anything that sounds off or feels uncomfortable stops getting worn. All of this tracking depends on one thing, you actually keeping the devices in your ears.
We fit the Starkey Omega AI as part of our comprehensive best practice process, with a structured follow-up schedule to confirm the devices are doing their job for your hearing and for everything else they're keeping an eye on.
See If the Omega AI Fits Your Life
Our audiologists take the time to match technology to your hearing, your daily routine, and what you want out of treatment. Those goals have more room to grow than they did a few years ago, and we're glad to walk you through what these features would look like day to day before you commit to anything.
