Summary

The Academy introduces Auracast and describes its participation in discussions about patient and provider needs.

Key findings

  • The June 2022 item presents access to public-address audio and public televisions as potential benefits once hearing device manufacturers make Auracast available.
  • The Academy says it and past presidents Catherine Palmer and Angela Shoup participated in discussions with Bluetooth SIG to bring audiology, patient and provider needs into the work.
  • The item contains no Auracast activation procedure, stream-to-microphone setting, fitting verification target or survey of clinical practice.

Limits

A short launch-era news item, not a clinical practice guideline or a test. Its prospective device statements describe June 2022 and should not be used as a current compatibility list.
