Google announced on Thursday that Android phones will soon support Auracast, a new Bluetooth technology that uses a phone to enable a direct connection from hearing aids to audio broadcasts in noisy environments.
With Auracast, compatible hearing aids and earbuds can receive direct audio streams, such as a PA system at a train station or an audio broadcast at a concert. Google notes that hearing aid presets can be applied to these broadcasts, which means users can personalize streams to their hearing.
