Why Choose Starkey Axio 4 BTE?

The Axio 4 BTE is designed for value and practicality. While it doesn’t include modern extras like Bluetooth or wireless streaming, it offers dependable performance for everyday hearing needs.

Its rugged design and IP57 durability make it well-suited for Bangladesh’s humid and dusty climate.

Performance in Different Environments

• At Home or in Quiet Spaces: Delivers clear speech with 4 channels and Voice iQ for voice enhancement.

• On Busy Streets (e.g., Dhaka or Chittagong): Automatic directionality helps focus on conversations in front, though it may not perform as strongly as high-end models in very loud settings.
