Auracast™ is transforming how people experience audio, making assistive listening more accessible, flexible, and user-friendly. As we look forward to the upcoming iPhone release, which many hope will finally bring native Auracast™ support, now is the perfect time to explore how you can take advantage of this breakthrough technology. Even without built-in iOS compatibility, there are ways to enjoy Auracast™ broadcast audio today using innovative solutions like Auri™, plus compatible hearing devices and apps.
This guide will explain Auracast™, the current iPhone limitations, and the tools available to help you connect.
Auracast™ is built on Bluetooth® LE Audio, enabling one device to simultaneously broadcast audio to many listeners. Whether it’s a live performance, a public announcement in an airport, or personal streaming at home, Auracast™ opens new possibilities for accessible audio.
While iPhones don’t yet support Auracast™ natively, compatible hearing devices, apps, and accessories already enable access, and that’s where Auri™ comes in.
Auri™, developed by Ampetronic | Listen Technologies, is the first fully integrated assistive listening system powered by Auracast™ broadcast audio.

Why Auri™ Stands Out:
Here are ways users can access Auracast™ audio right now:
1. Auracast™-enabled Hearing Aids (and Apps)
Use manufacturer apps to connect your Auracast™-ready hearing aids to your iPhone.
2. Use Auri™ Systems at Venues
In places equipped with Auri™, your phone can act as the control or listening device if it’s Auracast™ capable, or you can borrow an Auri™ RX1 receiver.
3. Accessible Experience Even Without Native Support
Auri™ bridges the gap with receivers and software, allowing venues to offer Auracast™ now, iPhones can connect through apps or dedicated receivers, even before native iOS support arrives.
Even without native Auracast™ support, iPhone users can access broadcast audio today using compatible hearing aids and apps. As we anticipate the next iPhone release, which may finally include Auracast™ support, now is the perfect time to familiarize yourself with the solutions that make assistive listening simple, reliable, and inclusive.
