Use Auracast to Connect your Hearing Aids to Your TV

Auracast is a new wireless audio streaming technology built on Bluetooth® LE Audio. It allows one or multiple Auracast compatible hearing aids to receive TV audio directly while the TV's built-in speakers or soundbar continue playing at the same time. This means everyone in the room can enjoy the TV at a comfortable volume, while hearing aid users listen at their own personalized volume.

Auracast technology isn't limited to the home. Churches, theaters, airports, conference centers, and other public venues can also install Auracast transmitters that broadcast audio directly from their sound systems. This allows people with compatible hearing aids to connect and enjoy clear, personalized sound without needing additional receivers or headphones.

Most newer hearing aids already come Auracast enable. This includes popular hearing aids made my Audibel, Bernafon, Jabra, Oticon, Phillips, Resound, and Starkey. See compatibility list on this page full a list of hearing aids. 

You will also need to download and connect your hearing aids to their phone app.

In most cases, yes, but it depends on your TV model. Many TVs can play audio through both the built-in speakers and the optical or AUX output at the same time, allowing hearing aid users and everyone else to listen together. However, some TVs automatically mute the built-in speakers when an external audio output is connected.

If you're unsure, check your TV's audio settings or owner's manual to see if simultaneous audio output is supported. If not, Desert Sound Audiology can help you determine the best solution for your TV and hearing aids.
