"It's been a few years since the official introduction of the Bluetooth technology Auracast, which allows devices like earbuds, headphones, speakers, and hearing aids to connect to a single source without the need for pairing. Like a radio picks up your local radio stations, all you have to do is connect to the right broadcast. These could be flight announcements from your gate at the airport, the microphone a teacher is using during a presentation,"
"By letting you link directly into one of these broadcasts, Auracast can increase auditory accessibility for those who are hard of hearing, or just more easily pick the relevant information out of a noisy environment. Auracast is available today, but many tech companies don't yet support it, and others barely talk about it - even when it's in their products."
Auracast is a Bluetooth broadcast technology that enables multiple earbuds, headphones, speakers, and hearing aids to receive audio from a single source without individual pairing. Connections work like tuning a radio to a broadcast, useful for airport announcements, classroom microphones, gym TVs, and shared public audio. The technology can boost auditory accessibility for people who are hard of hearing and help listeners isolate relevant information in noisy environments. Auracast hardware exists in many headphones, TVs, and phones, but many manufacturers provide little or no visible support or marketing for the feature, slowing wider adoption.
