Hearing Aid Industry CEO Celebrates 30 Years at Starkey
In this special episode, we're celebrating a big milestone. Starkey President and CEO Brandon Sawalich is marking 30 years in the hearing industry this month. To commemorate the anniversary, Dave asked Brandon 30 questions-one for each year he's dedicated to this field. Brandon shares insights from his experience across various roles within Starkey, all of which have given him a comprehensive understanding of the industry.
They also chat about some groundbreaking Starkey moments. Under Brandon’s leadership, Starkey pioneered the incorporation of integrated sensors and was the first to utilize artificial intelligence and health and wellness technology in hearing health products. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss!
As the CEO with the longest tenure in the hearing industry, Brandon held ten different positions prior to his appointment as President and CEO. His experiences have given him a deep understanding of all aspects of the industry, allowing him to lead with agility and keep Starkey a leader in innovation and technology.
We thank him for his commitment to excellence and for leading by example. He continues to be a driving force in helping the world hear better and live better.
About Brandon Sawalich:
As the President and CEO of Starkey, the global leader in hearing technology innovation, Brandon Sawalich’s mindset has one direction: Forward.
Brandon started working in Starkey’s hearing aid repair department nearly 30 years ago, and he has worked in virtually every corner of the business since, learning every aspect of the hearing health care industry, including what patients and hearing professionals expect from the technology Starkey creates.
Now, a new generation at Starkey has arrived. Brandon’s vision for Starkey and its more than 5,000 employees around the world is not to be the biggest; it is to be the best. That starts with product performance, operational excellence and best-in-class customer service. In February 2023, Starkey unveiled the world’s most advanced hearing aid and the industry’s flagship product. Genesis AI is not only setting a new standard for technology at Starkey, but it’s pushing the edge of what is possible for hearing technology innovation.
Brandon believes in the power of kindness. Starkey Cares, Starkey’s corporate social responsibility program has partnered with more than 2,000 hearing health professionals around the United States to get premium hearing technology to people who cannot afford it. As the exclusive global hearing health partner of Special Olympics International, Starkey Cares has fitted hundreds of athletes and coaches with new, free hearing aids and works with their global network of hearing health professionals to continue care in athletes’ home communities.

    Dave, I appreciate this conversation with Justin. His life’s struggle with hearing was so overwhelming, it brought me to tears. I have been watching you for the last month in half talking with various employees and others on your pod cast. I am so excited to be getting these new Starkey Genesis AI, ITC - R, Bluetooth HA's next week. I am an old Veteran who received my first pair of HA’s from VA that were Starkey’s over the ear with replaceable batteries and plastic rubberize domes. I have had two other brands over the years. Had a hearing test last month, VA doctor recommended these, so have spent a lot of time looking for information on the web. My hearing story is very mild and came later in life than Justin’s. I have been so hyped up hearing about his use of the new Starkey Genesis AI eliminating some of the similar problem he and I have and how the new SHA's have helped. Just could not communicate with my family aka wife & friends and was feeling left out and did not like turning my head sideways to try and hear. Thank you Starkey.

    I have had Starkey hearing aids for the last five years. Yesterday I got my new Genesis AL CIC hearing aids. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. These are as close to normal hearing as can be. In a loud restaurant yesterday, and the crowd option works fantastic. I felt like I was just with my group at the table. Still a battery user though.

    My 29-year-old son was diagnosed with APD at 5 years old. Had his first hearing test at 1 year. We did every therapy imaginable: Fastforword and other auditory training, music therapy, balance therapy, hearing aids, and Lindamood Bell. We spent in excess of $100,000 which included 4 years at a special school. LMB was a disaster and very expensive - they took my $15,000 and didn't have a clue. We used other strategies as well: visual aids, recorder, a special recording pen, note takers and the list goes on. While I think he has improved, I believe he would have improved as he gained experience as an adult. While he did fine in college, he ended up leaving due to the huge effort it took to absorb information. Social situations still exhaust him. It takes so much effort to listen and process, especially in noise. The anxiety that results from such an effort is crippling. Here's the sad part, if you didn't know him, you would never guess he struggles every single day to navigate other people. Keep in mind that not all APD individuals are the same. My son is an excellent speller and reader, but he processes slowly, struggles with comprehension and has great difficulty with expressive language.

    What if one hearing aid, (the left in my case) has seemed to have lost it's name, and will no longer pair with the Thrive app? The right device shows the correct name, but the left shows up as a string of diamond shapes with question marks? I can make the phone pair with either, or both of the devices through settings, then Bluetooth options on the phone. Again, it's showing up as question marks again. But, pairing with the Thrive app doesn't happen, because of the missing/invalid name. I use PatientBase and Inspire to program/itr the devices using TeleHear, but since one device isn't paired, TeleHear will not open. The idff device is operational otherwise, and talks to the right device, because the left device controls volume for both devices. The right rocker switch controls tinnitus volume on the right device. If I could simply have an audiologist reset the devices to factory default using the correct programming boot, I can reload the hearing profile myself.

    I just received my Audibel Intrigue AI 24, mRICs three weeks ago. Quite impressed so far, but I really have nothing to compare them to. I love being able to control features from the app. I can set programs with unique equalizer settings which is great because I stream music a lot. I think the STEP feature is rather MEH because it is not accurate at all. I put my devices in when I wake up and after about 6 hours it shows I’ve walked 300 steps, yet my watch registers 1550 for three hours less. That’s not an important feature to me. What update I would love to see is being able to connect multiple devices at one time so I can switch back and forth easily. One update you discussed was always on Edge Mode +. As I get used to these, I’ll be better able to see if it helps. I like the EdgeMode+ feature and I do use it. Mine have Edge Mode +, so I’m not sure if the update is different. I enjoy your podcasts and learned a lot before I decided on purchasing these. So far, very happy.
