The hearing aid industry has been using hearing loop systems for many years to help people with hearing loss participate more fully in conversations, presentations, and events. A hearing loop wirelessly transmits audio signals via a magnetic field, which is picked up directly by hearing aids with a T-setting (telecoil), without the need for any additional equipment.
This trusted technology makes it possible to deliver clear sound—without echo or background noise—making it ideal in spaces where acoustics or distance hinder speech intelligibility. Think of churches, theaters, service counters, or meeting rooms. With a well-installed hearing loop, inclusive communication becomes not just achievable, but second nature.
Even during your event or service, it’s important that your message is heard.
An unlimited number of Auracast™ receivers within range can join a broadcast. The transmitter—such as a microphone, sound system, smartphone, television, or tablet—sends a high-quality broadcast to the receiver, which can be headphones, earbuds, or a hearing aid. As an interim solution, the audio can also be sent to a smartphone or smartwatch if your earbuds, headphones, or hearing aid don’t yet support Auracast™.
Room amplification
Locations using public address (PA) systems—such as airports, cinemas, lecture halls, conference centers, houses of worship, and more—can offer a much better audio experience. Visitors can receive the PA audio directly in their own Bluetooth® earbuds with Auracast™ broadcast audio or hearing aids. When used in this way, Auracast™ broadcast audio functions as a high-quality, cost-effective, next-generation assistive listening system (ALS), improving the audio experience for visitors both with and without hearing loss.
Silent spaces
Public spaces with silent television screens—such as airports, gyms, and waiting rooms—can offer a more enjoyable viewing experience. Visitors can use their own Bluetooth® earbuds with Auracast™ broadcast audio or hearing aids to listen to the television’s audio feed.
Multilingual support
Public venues offering simultaneous interpretation services—such as conference and meeting centers—can provide an improved listening experience. Attendees can use their own Bluetooth® earbuds with Auracast™ broadcast audio or hearing aids to listen to audio in their preferred language, making it easier to participate in events held in multiple languages.
Tour guide systems
Locations offering guided tours—such as museums, convention centers, and tourist attractions—can greatly enhance the visitor experience. Guests can use their own Bluetooth® earbuds with Auracast™ broadcast audio or hearing aids during the tour, ensuring a more engaging and personalized experience.
