How Can I Improve Sound Clarity When Using Auracast with My Hearing Aids in Public Venues? – Avantree Support

For clearer Auracast audio, adjust your hearing aid's streaming settings.

In busy venues, surrounding sound can compete with the Auracast stream. Adjusting the broadcast sound preference and hearing aid microphone level can make speech easier to hear.

Adjust the Broadcast Sound

In your hearing aid app, look for the sound preference used during Auracast or broadcast streaming.
