Starkey and LG Bring Auracast Streaming to Selected 2025 Televisions

Starkey and LG said selected 2025 LG OLED and QNED evo televisions include Auracast audio streaming. The companies said the feature would help users of compatible hearing aids receive television audio more directly.

During Better Hearing Month, the companies highlighted Starkey Edge AI hearing aids and the new LG televisions. Their account says TV streaming can make dialogue easier to hear, reduce the need for a loud room volume and let people watching together use different comfortable listening levels. These are proposed user benefits, not outcomes measured in the article.

How the connection is described

LE Audio and Auracast support wireless audio distribution to compatible receivers, including multiple listeners. The announcement says an Android phone equipped with LE Audio can enable a wearer of compatible Starkey Edge AI hearing aids to stream from a supported LG television without an additional accessory, using a personalized volume while others hear the TV at their own preferred level. Compatibility should be checked for the specific television, phone, hearing-aid model and software version.

Starkey Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering Achin Bhowmik described the LG partnership as an accessibility improvement intended to provide seamless, higher-fidelity listening. SP Baik, Vice President and Head of TV Product Planning at LG Electronics, said LG wanted entertainment to be accessible to more people, including people with disabilities.
