How to Ask Your Audiologist About Auri™

A new era of hearing accessibility starts with a simple conversation. 

the Future of Assistive listening

Whether you’re a hearing aid user, someone who struggles in noisy places, or a professional committed to helping patients hear their best, Auracast™ broadcast audio is transforming what modern listening can feel like. This new Bluetooth® Low Energy technology makes it possible to hear clearer, sharper, and more direct sound in public spaces like theaters, classrooms, airports, houses of worship, offices, and more. 

But many people don’t know how to bring it up with their audiologist, and many audiologists are just beginning their own journey with Auracast™. We’re here to make that conversation easier for both sides.

Auri™ docks all have network capability and can store receiver configurations.  This allows for central management, programming, and configuration of the docking stations and the receivers.

Each charging slot features a tension lock that ensures secure charging connectivity, and each slot can be used to store ID cards or other items that are exchanged for and returned when the receiver is not in use.

When people talk about hearing challenges, they’re not just asking for more advanced technology, they’re asking to be understood. Whether it’s a longtime hearing aid user or someone just beginning to notice the strain, the requests go beyond decibels and diagnostics. They speak to a longing for confidence, connection, and dignity. The true need lies not in features, but in how we help people feel seen, heard, and empowered in their daily lives.
