Former Starkey Engineer: the executives are/were totally aware of what's going on with regards to wearable technology. So much so, that the 5 or 6 top executives thought they could get away with embezzling millions -- siphoning funds from Starkey into their start-up. Internally, Starkey employees were confused why we weren't moving in on wearables. Starkey already owned the ear among 65+, why not go for the giant market of people with ears under 65? The FBI case hit the papers and it all made sense. Fucking assholes. I left the company over it, and I'm only a little bitter about it.
