Helping People Hear Anywhere with Telecoils and Auracast

Recently, we received an enthusiastic email from an audiologist who a hearing aid supplier told us that Auracast™ is ready to take over from telecoils and hearing loops. The audiologist, having been the catalyst for some hundred consumer-preferred hearing loops in her community, was prepared to start installing Auracast™ streamed assistive listening systems. She sought advice on gear up for Auracast advocacy, even while her patients currently use and benefit from hearing loops. As advocates for people with hearing loss, this is a fun email to get. Here’s a provider who understands that Auracast system installations won’t be adopted without professionals taking an active role in their communities.
