<p>All,</p>
<p>at this morning's meeting we learned about a new hearing aid
technology called auracast. I did an AI lookup in Copilot about
this technology and here is what it had to say.</p>
<p>It's actually a technology that I'm looking forward to. I don't
need it now but when it becomes fully available everywhere I
might.</p>
<p>Essentially this is a new Bluetooth upgraded technology that
allows a device like a TV to broadcast throughout your house up to
320 ft and anybody in the house wearing compatible hearing aids
can tune into the TV.</p>
<p>Copilot uses a train station as an example. Train stations can be
very noisy, and it can be difficult for everybody to hear the
information about what trains are coming and going. It would be
great if you're hearing aids could tap into a broadcast and hear
all the train announcements without having to pair their hearing
aids with anything.</p>
<p>It's all about not having to pair the way that you do today and
also how many devices can be connected to the system at the same
time.</p>

<p>Auracast is an innovative Bluetooth technology designed to
enhance audio sharing and accessibility. It allows a single
device, like a phone or TV, to broadcast audio to multiple
Bluetooth receivers simultaneously. This means you can share
music, podcasts, or other audio with friends without needing to
pass around earbuds or deal with pairing hassles.</p>
<p>Auracast also has practical applications in public spaces, such
as enabling people to tune into announcements or audio streams
through their personal devices, making environments like train
stations more inclusive. It's a game-changer for audio sharing and
accessibility!</p>
<p>Auracast, which uses Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio, typically
has a range of up to <strong>100 meters (328 feet)</strong>,
depending on the transmission device. This means you can enjoy
audio from your TV or other devices even if you're in another
room, as long as there are no significant obstacles like thick
walls or interference.</p>
