1 in 3 adults in the UK are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus, so making places accessible isn’t just a good thing to do – it’s essential. That’s why we’re excited to share our thought leadership report on Auracast, a groundbreaking new technology.

Are you ready to shape the future of accessible audio?

Whether you are a hardware manufacturer, an operating systems software developer, or a professional in facilities management, understanding the potential of Auracast could be the key to shaping the future of accessible audio.

The rollout of this exciting new technology has already begun, and the next two years are critical for ensuring it’s implemented effectively.

RNID report on Auracast

RNID’s thought leadership report explores Auracast’s opportunities and challenges, with actionable recommendations for an inclusive Auracast rollout in the UK, including:

  • Hardware manufacturers and platform developers create accessible user interfaces
  • The NHS source and provide Auracast-enabled hearing aids and cochlear implants
  • National infrastructure pilots Auracast with people whilst upgrading
  • Venues continue to maintain hearing loops through the transition period

Auracast technology can provide clearer audio for everyday conversations, live events, crucial safety announcements, and much more. But Auracast will only reach its full potential if it’s deployed in the right way – by the companies building Auracast-enabled products and the people who use them. 

Whatever your role, RNID is here to help you make informed decisions as you play your part in the Auracast-enabled audio accessibility revolution. Together, we can make a difference.
