Thank you for sharing information about Auracast. There was an excellent presentation on Auracast at the national HLAA convention last summer. Representatives from ReSound & Cochlear Corporation were presenters.

I have Auracast built into my cochlear implant processor; the N8 device by Cochlear Corporation. However, they made it quite clear that it will not be usable in the foreseeable future; think maybe in 5 or 6 years. ReSound and Cochlear Corp. work together so it's logical that both will be frontrunners in Auracast technology.

Meanwhile, telecoils remain the best bet for connectivity for events in venues that have met standards for communication access. Insist that your new hearing aids have functional telecoils and BT/Auracast. The future isn't quite now, but it's coming. Are you currently a telecoil/hearing loop user?

No, I don't have telecoils in my Phonak Lumity aids. I was actually asking about telecoils when my audiologist told me what I have reported. I'll wait till Auracast is in the Phonak aids. Thanks for the report!
