What is Auracast™ and why is it a Game Changer for Accessible Audio?

So.. What is Auracast™? 

Auracast™ broadcast audio is a new capability of Bluetooth ® ️LE that allows one source to stream to many devices at the same time. Think of it like a “silent PA system” but one that you can actually hear through your hearing aids, cochlear implants, headphones or smartphone. 

Unlike traditional Bluetooth®, which connects one-on-one, Auracast™ enables one-to-many streaming. You don’t need to pair devices or change settings,  just scan, tap, and listen. It’s like Wi-Fi, but for sound.

How Auracast™ works:

  1. A venue (theater, museum, or transit hub) installs an Auracast™ compatible transmitter.
  2. The transmitter broadcasts audio such as announcements, music, or speech.
  3. Users join the broadcast using their smartphone, hearing aids, cochlear implants or other compatible devices.
  4. The results? Real-time audio that is clear, reliable, and personal.

Why Auracast™ matters:

Auracast™ is more than just a Bluetooth upgrade, it is a significant leap forward in audio accessibility. 

  • Universal access: works across hearing aids, cochlear implants, headphones and smartphones. No need for special receivers.
  • Ease of use: Join by scanning a QR code, selecting from a list, or auto-joining a saved stream. 
  • High-quality, precise audio in concerts, lectures, or stadiums - No matter where you sit.
  • Use during tours, in museums, or with guided groups -  Listen directly from your own devices without extra equipment.
  • Consistent quality: Delivers low-latency, reliable sound even in noisy environments, no matter where you sit.
  • Personal control: users adjust their own volume and experience discreetly on their own devices.
  • Scalability: From small classrooms to massive stadiums, Auracast™ adapts to the space without losing quality.   

Where you’ll see it in action:

  • Classrooms and Universities - students can listen through their own phones or hearing devices.
  • Museums and tours - Multilingual or accessible audio guides without extra equipment.
  • Transit Hubs - Hear real-time announcements, even in loud crowded spaces.
  • Event venues - let every seat be a front row seat.
  • Hospitals and public offices - Private, clear communication where it matters most.

Inclusive Audio for Everyone

Auracast™  is inclusive by design, making audio more accessible for people with hearing difficulties while also improving the overall listening experience for everyone.  By delivering precise, reliable sound to each listener, Auracast™ ensures that no one misses a word, whether at a concert, lecture, museum, or guided tours.

Bettear + Auracast™: A New Era of Inclusive Audio

At Bettear, we are proud to build our solutions around Auracast™ technology because it aligns perfectly with our mission: making audio accessible, simple, and inclusive for everyone. 

We have already integrated Auracast™ into our product lineup, including B-CASTER and B-RTX, so venues, organisations and individuals can break down barriers and ensure that no one misses a moment, whether it is a speech, a concert, or a simple announcement.

Our impact was recently highlighted by Israel21c, which covered how Bettear is transforming accessibility in cultural and public spaces by allowing people to connect effortlessly through their own devices. It’s a clear sign of how inclusive audio can change the way we experience events, and Auracast™ now makes that vision even more scalable.
