Thrive Hearing Control is a companion app for people using compatible Starkey hearing aids. It lets you adjust hearing-aid volume and switch between listening settings, including memories set up by you or your hearing professional. You can also make custom sound adjustments; some memories can be tied to a location so they are available when you return there.
The app includes tools for particular listening situations, such as Edge Mode, and options for streaming audio or phone calls where supported by the hearing aids. Other listed features include speech transcription, translation, an assistant for hearing-aid questions and Self Check, which runs a diagnostic check of hearing-aid components. These functions are intended to support use of compatible devices; they do not replace advice or care from a hearing professional.
For users with supported devices and features, Thrive can track activity and hearing-aid use, and offer daily goals and scores related to activity and social engagement. Fall detection and alerts are also described among its features. The app can share selected information with chosen people using the separate Thrive Care app. Availability can depend on the hearing aids, phone and setup, so this is not a general health tracker for every Android user.
Starkey Hearing Technologies is the named developer. The app is listed in Health & Fitness and has 500,000+ installs. Its rating is 2.76 from 5,960 ratings, a mixed reception that may be worth considering alongside your hearing-aid model and the specific functions you need. Thrive is most relevant if you already use compatible Starkey hearing aids; without them, its central controls have little practical use.
