How it Works

achieving an active system.

Fall Alert Notifications are not a Substitute for Emergency Services and will
not Contact Emergency Services
Fall Alert notifications are merely a tool that may assist in communicating
certain information to one or more third-party contacts the user has
identified. My Starkey does not communicate with emergency services or provide
emergency assistance in any way and is not a substitute for contacting
professional emergency services. The operation of My Starkey’s fall-detection
features depends on wireless connectivity for both the user and the user’s
designated contact(s), and the feature will not successfully deliver a message
if Bluetooth® or cellular connectivity is lost or interrupted at any point in
the communication pathway. Connectivity can be lost under a number of
circumstances, such as: a paired mobile device is out of range of the hearing
aid(s) or otherwise loses connectivity with the hearing aid(s); the hearing
aids or mobile device are not turned on or sufficiently powered; a mobile
device is in airplane mode; a mobile device malfunctions; or if bad weather
interrupts a mobile device’s network connectivity.
Fall Alert Feature is a General Wellness Product (Not Regulated as a
Medical Device)
The Fall Alert feature is designed and distributed as a General Wellness
product. The Fall Alert feature is not designed or in any way intended to
detect, diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any specific disease or particular,
medical condition and is not targeted to any specific or particular
population. Rather, the Fall Alert feature is designed only to detect that a
user may have fallen and try to send a text message in response to such an
event, in support of the user’s general health.
Additional information can be found in the operations manual that comes with
the hearing aid and the My Starkey End User License Agreement, which is
available in My Starkey and must be read and agreed to before using My
Starkey.
