Phonak has finally confirmed that Auracast is coming to existing Phonak Audéo Infinio Ultra R and Infinio Ultra Sphere hearing aids, without owners needing to buy an entirely new generation of hearing aids. In this video, I explain what Phonak has confirmed, how the Auracast upgrade will work, why this matters for existing Phonak owners, and the one frustrating catch: there isn't an exact release date yet.

Airports, theatres, museums, train stations and other venues could eventually broadcast audio directly to compatible hearing aids.
