Amazon Fire TV introduces ‘Dual Audio’ feature for simultaneous listening via hearing aids and TV speakers


Amazon announced on Wednesday new accessibility features for Fire TV, including a notable "Dual Audio" capability for the newly launched Fire TV Omni Amazon Fire TV's "Dual Audio" lets one user listen through a hearing aid while others enjoy audio through the TV's built-in speakers.

The new feature allows one user to listen through a hearing aid while others in the same room can enjoy audio through the TV’s built-in speakers. Dual Audio is a significant addition for hard-of-hearing users, allowing them to share a more communal viewing experience by listening to a TV show or movie simultaneously with friends and family. Certain device packaging will feature newly introduced tactile-marked QR codes that include raised UV dots for better visibility, positioned on the top left corner of the back panel inside the box, where the Quick Start Guide is found.
