For decades we have relied on induction loops to transmit audio to hearing aids. This is no longer good enough. Induction loops are analogue, deliver medium quality and rely on the hearing aid having a T setting.

Modern hearing aids, especially those that sit in the ear canal, can not receive induction loop audio.

The solution is Auracast.

Auracast uses a dedicated version of Bluetooth to broadcast your audio signal. This broadcast can be received by hundreds of people at once. You need either an Auracast capable hearing aid, or a dedicated receiver. Some mobile phones and some headphones are also able to receive the signal.

At present I suggest Auracast is installed alongside an existing induction loop system. Auracast will not transmit to the older hearing aids that are designed for induction loops.

AURI™ IN HOUSES OF WORSHIP

COMMON CHALLENGES

• Reverberant acoustics and inconsistent sound coverage: Traditional worship spaces are often beautiful
  but acoustically challenging, with high ceilings, hard surfaces, and long reverberation times.
• Lack of awareness around assistive listening options: Many attendees simply don’t know that help is
  available or assume it’s outdated or hard to use.
• Complicated or intrusive systems: Older technologies often require special equipment or visible
  headsets that feel cumbersome or stigmatizing.
• Limited adoption due to complexity: Congregants may avoid using assistive listening because it draws
  attention or requires staff intervention.
  AURI™ ADVANTAGES
• Simple to connect: Attendees can access audio instantly using their own smartphone, Auracast-enabled
  hearing aid, or a dedicated Auri™ receiver.
• Discreet and dignified: People can use their personal devices, making accessibility seamless and private.
• Supports multi-channel audio for overflow rooms and language translation: Stream different languages,
  live interpretation, or coverage for overflow spaces without extra infrastructure or visible equipment.
• Easy for staff and volunteers: Simple setup and support make it practical for smaller teams and
  volunteers to manage.
  USE CASE SCENARIOS
• Worship services: Every sermon, scripture reading, and announcement delivered with clarity and reach.
• Choir performances and events: Ensure music, readings, and performances are accessible to all attendees,
  even in large or acoustically challenging spaces.
• Small group spaces: Bring the same high-quality, inclusive audio to classrooms, fellowship halls,
  and breakout rooms.
  KEY DIFFERENTIATORS
• Broadcast audio for everyday worship: Auri™ brings the power of next-generation Auracast™ broadcast
  audio into the heart of spiritual gatherings.
• Flexible, future-ready streaming: Auri™ complements existing systems while adding the convenience of
  wireless, device-based access, ideal for venues looking to expand or modernize their assistive listening options
  without replacing everything at once.
• Enhance outreach and community support: Make your worship services more accessible to visitors,
  multilingual audiences, and people with hearing loss.
• Developed by trusted leaders: Created by Ampetronic and Listen Technologies, recognized worldwide for
  delivering assistive listening systems that ensure clear, inclusive audio in demanding environments.
