Android is adding Auracast support, which allows hearing aids to connect to public audio broadcasts


Android phones will soon support Auracast, a Bluetooth technology that uses your phone to connect hearing aids to audio broadcasts.

Google announced on Thursday that Android phones will soon support Auracast, a new Bluetooth technology that uses a phone to enable a direct connection from hearing aids to audio broadcasts in noisy environments. With Auracast, compatible hearing aids and earbuds can receive direct audio streams, such as a PA system at a train station or an audio broadcast at a concert. The latest Android 16 beta also brings a new accessibility feature that will allow users with low vision to outline text in order to make it easier to read.
