Starkey owns several brands that have different professionals. All their brands have equivalent models.
When I was looking for a Starkey profesional in my area, Starkey’s website only listed two. I called the profesionals and found out neither one handles Starkey aids.
I then called Starkey and was referred to a Micro Tech professional in my area.
Micro Tech, Audibel, and NuEar are all Starkey brands. Some brands (Audibel & NuEar, I believe) are locked to only those brand professionals can program them. I have been told my Micro Tech aids are unlocked.
Starkey’s worldwide directory is at http://www.starkey.com/~/link.aspx?_id=28C1B1CBFC06484EB9F2059754D8FD4A&_z=z
If you still have problems finding a nearby professional, I would call Starkey at (800) 328-8602 or (952) 941-6401. they were very helpful to me.
