CURRENT CHALLENGES

Better hearing access should not be expensive, restrictive or confusing.

Traditional loops can be costly

Construction, wiring and specialist installation can make a hearing loop difficult to justify for one activity room or community space.

You cannot rely only on BYOD

Residents use different hearing aids, phones and headphones. A practical plan must include facility-provided listening options.

There is no obvious complete setup

Room size, audio source, listener count and staff operations all affect which transmitter and listening devices make sense.

Shared devices require daily management

Charging, storage, cleaning and simple resident controls matter just as much as wireless coverage.

WHY AURACAST

One audio broadcast. A listening option for each resident.

Start without major construction

Connect a transmitter to the room’s existing TV, microphone, mixer or media source.

Support more than one listening pathway

Combine compatible personal devices with facility-managed earbuds, neckloops or headphones.

Give residents personal control

Each listener hears the broadcast through their own listening device at a comfortable volume.

Expand when needs grow

Begin with the room and devices needed today, then add compatible listening options later.

Device compatibility depends on the hearing aid, headphone, phone, operating system, app and firmware. Confirm each personal device before promising direct connection.

THREE STARTING SOLUTIONS

Choose by room, listening pathway and staff workflow.

These are practical starting points. Confirm the final source connection, coverage and device mix before ordering.

QUICK PLANNER

Start with five practical questions.

Tell us what residents need to hear and how the facility will manage listening devices. We will help confirm the final setup.

  1. 01Is the source a TV, microphone, mixer, computer or phone?
  2. 02How many residents may need assistance at the same time?
  3. 03Will the facility provide every listening device?
  4. 04Do any residents need a Telecoil neckloop pathway?
  5. 05How will devices be charged, stored, cleaned and checked out?

FAQ

Questions facility teams ask before choosing a system.

Still unsure? Share your room, source and expected listener count with a Venucast specialist.

Is Auracast a replacement for a hearing loop?

Auracast offers a wireless alternative that may avoid construction-heavy loop installation. The best choice depends on local accessibility requirements, existing equipment and the residents you need to support.

What if residents do not have Auracast hearing aids?

The facility can provide compatible receivers, neckloops or Auracast headphones. That is why the recommended plans do not rely only on BYOD.

Can residents use their own hearing aids or headphones?

Compatible Auracast devices may join the broadcast directly. Confirm the exact model, firmware, phone and app through the compatibility checker before use.

Can AirPods or ordinary Bluetooth headphones connect directly?

Many ordinary Bluetooth devices do not support direct Auracast listening. Some may require a compatible phone receiver or adapter.

Which system is best for a shared TV room?

Start with the TV’s available audio output, room size and number of facility-provided listening devices. A specialist can confirm whether the professional or managed-device option is appropriate.

Can we connect a microphone or existing mixer?

Yes, when the selected transmitter supports the source output. AirCast and NetCast provide professional input options; confirm connector type and audio level before ordering.

How should shared headphones be managed?

Create a simple check-out, charging and wipe-down routine. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidance and keep a small charged-device buffer for busy activities.

Can we start with one room and expand later?

Yes. Begin with the appropriate transmitter and a practical number of listening devices, then add compatible receivers or headphones as participation grows.
