Summary
Phonak's article for hearing care professionals on Bluetooth Classic, Roger and Auracast in the Audéo EON hearing aids.
Key findings
- States that Audéo EON supports both the High Quality and the Standard Quality Auracast bitrates, which Phonak says broadens compatibility with transmitters.
- Where the phone has a native Auracast assistant, wearers can search for and join a broadcast there; the myPhonak and myPhonak Junior apps add a QR code scanner so that phones without a native assistant can still join.
- Wearers can adjust the balance between streamed and acoustic sound in the app, and clinicians can adjust Auracast settings in the fitting software.
- Reports that in Phonak's testing EON received an Auracast signal at up to 211 m, farther than three other hearing aids in the comparison. The test conditions are not published; the reference directs readers to a Sonova claims email address.
- The archived page metadata gives publication on 17 September 2026 and modification on 21 September 2026; it does not identify which passages changed.
Limits
Manufacturer material for clinicians about one product family. The range comparison is unpublished, with no test conditions or competing models named, and the article gives no latency figures.
