Auracast
The University has begun implementing Auracast to significantly enhance campus accessibility for students and staff with hearing loss and neurodiversity. This cutting-edge Bluetooth technology allows an unlimited number of users with compatible hearing aids, cochlear implants, and earbuds to stream audio directly from microphones into their personal hearing devices.
Auracast ensures crystal-clear, lag-free audio in lecture halls, seminar rooms, and public spaces*. This deployment removes major acoustic barriers, fosters an inclusive educational environment, and ensures that every member of our campus community can fully engage with lectures & events without restriction.
Training and instruction on the use of Auracast technology can be organised with Media Services by contacting our Helpdesk on x52521 or by emailing us at mediaservices@manchester.ac.uk
