Auracast™ Broadcast Audio & Hearing Accessibility
Auracast™ broadcast audio allows one transmitter to share sound with multiple compatible hearing aids, headphones, earbuds and receivers. It provides another way to access television sound, presentations and public venue audio through a suitable listening device.
Hear Room provides independent advice on Auracast™ technology for individuals, schools, workplaces and public venues across Australia. We help you choose suitable equipment, understand compatibility and plan how it will work with your existing hearing devices and audio systems.
Whether you want clearer access to television at home or are planning hearing accessibility for a building, we can help you understand your options and select a practical solution.
Auracast™ Products & Listening Solutions
Choosing an Auracast™ solution starts with understanding what you want to hear, where you will use it and the devices you already have.
Hear Room helps you select suitable transmitters, microphones, headphones, earbuds and receivers for listening at home, in education, at work and in public venues. Our independent advice considers your hearing needs, existing equipment, ease of use and budget.
Compatibility matters. Having Bluetooth® does not automatically mean a device supports Auracast™ broadcast audio. We can help you check the features, connections and setup required so you can make an informed choice.
Transmitters
Auracast™ transmitters broadcast audio from televisions, microphones and other suitable sound sources to compatible listening devices.
The right transmitter depends on your audio connections, listening environment, coverage requirements and how people will access the broadcast. Hear Room helps you select and configure a solution suited to your home, classroom, workplace or venue.
Headphones and Earbuds
Auracast™-enabled headphones and earbuds provide access to compatible audio broadcasts, including for people who do not wear hearing aids.
They offer another way to listen to television, presentations and venue audio. Hear Room helps you consider comfort, ease of use, listening needs and how you will find and join a broadcast.
Hearing Aids
Auracast™-enabled hearing aids can receive audio directly from compatible broadcasts, providing another way to access sound at home and in public spaces.
Support depends on the specific hearing aid model, software and manufacturer requirements. Some listening setups may also require an app, compatible phone or accessory to select a broadcast. Hear Room helps you confirm compatibility and understand the setup required for your devices.
Auracast™ in Public Spaces
Auracast™ broadcast audio can help visitors access presentations, announcements and entertainment through compatible hearing aids, headphones, earbuds or dedicated receivers.
Applications include meeting rooms, lecture theatres, places of worship, healthcare waiting areas and community venues. It offers another listening option for people with a range of hearing and communication needs.
A successful installation needs suitable coverage, clear instructions for joining the broadcast and appropriate receiver options for visitors who cannot connect with their own devices.
Hear Room helps organisations assess their listening environment, understand compatibility and plan an Auracast™ solution that works with their existing audio systems and the people using the space.
One Broadcast, Many Listeners
An Auracast™ transmitter sends a single audio broadcast that any number of compatible receivers within range can join. Multiple people can listen at the same time using their own compatible hearing aids, headphones or earbuds, or receivers provided by the venue.
The transmitter does not need a separate paired connection for every listener. Adding more listeners does not require additional audio streams from the transmitter.
Practical access depends on signal coverage, device compatibility and a suitable way for each listener to find and join the broadcast.
Plan Your Auracast™ System with Hear Room
Choosing suitable equipment is one part of creating an effective listening system. Hear Room helps you assess listening needs, understand device compatibility and plan how Auracast™ will connect with your existing audio equipment.
Our independent advice covers Auracast™ and other hearing augmentation technologies, including situations where a combination of systems may better support your users. We also provide commissioning, verification, training and ongoing support.
Whether you are planning a new installation or reviewing an existing system, contact Hear Room to discuss a practical approach for your school, workplace or venue.
