Minneapolis, Nov. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Starkey Hearing Technologies is proud to announce that Livio AI, the world’s first multi-purpose hearing aid, has earned a place on TIME’s 2019 list of best inventions in the accessibility category. A widely recognized and prestigious designation, this list highlights inventions that are making the world better, smarter and even a bit more fun.

TIME uses a rigorous, multi-step process to assemble the annual list. Contenders from around the world are evaluated on key factors, including originality, effectiveness, ambition and influence. The result: 100 groundbreaking inventions that are changing the way we live, work, play and think about what’s possible.
