About this app

The Thrive Hearing Control app works seamlessly with sensor-enabled hearing aids to give you full control of your hearing. Change settings easily, adjust volume, create customized memories, and stream music or phone calls with the touch of a button.


The Thrive app gives you access to Healthable features like social engagement and activity tracking. You can set goals and your Engagement Score and Activity Score will track how close you are to meeting them daily. The Thrive app also offers information services like Thrive Assistant, Translate, Transcribe, and Self Check, which lets you check your hearing aid performance without an office visit.

And that’s just the beginning. Thrive also offers:


EDGE MODE
Industry-leading sound performance provides you with instantaneous adjustments for the most challenging listening situations.

REMOTE CONTROL
Easily adjust your hearing aid volume and change between memories created by you or your hearing professional.


PERSONALIZED MEMORIES
Create custom memories using manual and customizable sound adjustments. And geotag these memories so your hearing aids automatically adjust when returning to that location.


FALL DETECTION AND ALERTS
Designed to help you stay independent, falls can be detected, and alert messages sent to selected contacts.


ACTIVITY / ENGAGEMENT TRACKING
Track steps and other activity and set daily goals to inspire a healthy lifestyle. Monitor hearing aid use and social engagement and set daily goals to positively impact brain health.


THRIVE ASSISTANT
Ask questions about your hearing aids like, “how do I adjust volume?” or general questions like, “what’s the weather today?” and get quick answers.


TRANSLATE
This first-to-world feature helps you easily communicate with people who speak other languages.


THRIVE CARE COMPATIBLE
You can use the Thrive app to share helpful information like physical activity, hearing aid usage and social engagement with people you select who have the new Thrive Care app. This helps you maintain independence and provides peace of mind for the Thrive Care users you selected.


SELF CHECK
Allows you to perform a diagnostic test of your hearing aid components without having to make an office visit.


TRANSCRIBE
It’s like closed captioning for real life. Conversations are transcribed so you can read what's being said.


TELEHEAR™
Get help anywhere. Connect with your hearing professional by video call and obtain minor hearing aid adjustments directly to your hearing aids and smartphone.


FIND MY HEARING AIDS
Easily locate lost hearing aids. A signal detector sends a stronger or weaker signal based on how close you are to the location of the hearing aids.

AUDIO*
Enables carefree communication using your Android phone. Delivers superior sound and pristine audio streaming of any music or media played through your Android device.


The Thrive app works with hearing aids from Starkey, Audibel, NuEar, MicroTech and AGX® Hearing. These hearing aids must be purchased from a hearing professional. All features are not available on all hearing aid styles. Check with your hearing professional for details.

*Due to the large number of different Android phones and their capabilities with connecting and streaming audio to hearing aids, Starkey cannot guarantee full compatibility of this Thrive app with all phone models.

This app is a marvel of code writing incompetence. Fails to hold settings daily, stream boost activates every time you do anything on your phone, and the white noise is like standing in a wind tunnel. Right and left settings change independently and randomly, so when settings fail, they're not even the same, or randomly the volume on one will go completely off. Choose a profile and close your phone and the setting is lost. If you're looking at hearing aids that use this app, buy another brand.

Hi, Randy, your S21 have all the audio setting active. Any time you tap the screen a sound is sent, when the screen goes dark the volume changes. I recommend you toggle off the auto streaming under the device settings.

Admit it, Starkey, your app and connectivity features are not what they should or could be. The issue I have is that the app constantly drops and changes the settings I put into it. Believe it or not, it's quite annoying to have the sounds in your world suddenly and abruptly change because you received a text message, or better yet, no reason whatsoever. It's not my phone It's your app. This app sucks and by your responses to reviews and lack of upgrades, you really don't care to fix it.

You would benefit from turning off the feature called Auto Streaming. The way auto streaming works is when a streaming event is detected the hearing aids will jump to a setting that is design to make the sound quality. If can be annoying for notifications that stream like text. You can toggle this feature off under Thrive devices settings

When on phone calls, with my bluetooth and having the Stream setting in Thrive turned on, I hear conversations just fine. But something is wrong with respect to people on the other end hearing me. My voice is softer for them if I have my Bluetooth on, plus it breaks up a lot. Very frustrating, especially as I hear the Trive version for Apple users is great. Not great at all for Andrioid users.

Thank you for the feedback. The Thrive Hearing Control app doesn't control the audio that is sent to the person on the other end. It doesn't have any impact on the cellular connections. The phone's speak will pick up your voice. If you have a case that block that speaker, or your phone is in your pocket, it will be hard for people to hear you.
