After installation, how do the theaters and venues ‘do it’?

The installation is an addition to the venue’s existing sound system and it basically consists of a transmitter and a transiever.  The audio is projected to all Auracast-ready devices including hearing aids, cochlear implants, headphones and earbuds.  If a patron doesn’t have any of these, each venue will have a number of auracast-ready headphones for your use.  Anyone can receive the high quality audio!

Below is a list hearing devices and headphones/earbuds that will work.
