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.

Auracast: Revolutionizing Accessibility in Audio
Bluetooth Low Energy Audio (LE Audio) and its associated features represent an advanced wireless audio technology, designed to deliver high-quality sound with minimal power consumption to all users. In contrast to standard Bluetooth, which can be power-hungry and limited in functionality, Bluetooth LE Audio offers more efficient, faster, and clearer audio transmission. This is particularly crucial for hearing aids, where both battery life and sound quality are paramount. By incorporating Bluetooth LE Audio, hearing aids can stream audio directly from various devices—such as smartphones, TVs, and public broadcasting systems—with lower battery drain. This technology enhances both usability and convenience, introducing a line of new features and making it revolutionary in the hearing care industry.
