HearAura is the iPhone remote for Auracast, the new Bluetooth standard that lets a place send its sound straight to your ears: the TV at the gym, the gate announcement, the sermon, the show. If you wear LE Audio hearing aids or Auracast-capable earbuds, HearAura joins the broadcast for you in seconds. LISTEN ANYWHERE - Join Auracast broadcasts by QR code, share link, or nearby scan - Control broadcast volume, and quiet your hearing aids' own microphones so you hear only the program - Save favorite broadcasts and rejoin them with one tap or with Siri - Apple Watch companion: volume and mute from your wrist WHO IT IS FOR - Hearing aid wearers: most hearing aids sold since 2024 have LE Audio inside; ask your audiologist about Auracast - Earbud listeners: Auracast-capable LE Audio earbuds join the same way - AirPods owners: AirPods cannot receive Auracast broadcasts yet, but live captions (including an AirPods-mic mode) and Channels work great today NO HARDWARE YET? TRY THE DEMO A built-in demo simulates the whole join flow, so you can see exactly how it works before you ever meet a broadcast. LIVE CAPTIONS, ON DEVICE Turn speech around you into captions, generated entirely on your iPhone. Nothing you hear is sent to a server. SHARE SOUND WITH FRIENDS Channels stream conversation audio and captions between nearby iPhones over your local network. Nothing touches the internet. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Captions never leave your phone. A NOTE ON SCOPE HearAura is a broadcast assistant for LE Audio devices. It does not amplify, process, or alter sound for your hearing, and it is not a hearing aid or a medical device. Auracast is a trademark of Bluetooth SIG.
