StarLink Edge TV Streamer
Television is the single most common complaint we hear, and a streamer solves it more completely than any hearing aid setting can.
IN SHORT
Auracast ready. Streams television audio straight to LE Audio hearing aids using the newer Bluetooth LE protocol. Requires LE Audio-enabled hearing aids. Aris AI and Vitality AI support it. If your devices are an older generation, the standard TV Streamer is the right choice instead.
What it does
The Edge TV Streamer connects to your television and sends the sound directly into both hearing aids, already shaped to your prescription. Everyone else keeps the volume where they like it, and you get dialogue without the room noise, the reverberation off the walls, or the compression that television speakers add.
It uses Bluetooth Low Energy Audio rather than the older protocol, which means better battery life and, importantly, that it is Auracast ready. Auracast is the emerging broadcast standard that will let venues like theaters, airports, churches and gyms transmit audio directly to hearing aids. Buying an LE Audio device now is the version of this decision that ages well.
Who it suits
- You watch television daily and the volume is a household discussion
- Your hearing aids are LE Audio enabled, such as Aris AI or Vitality AI
- You want equipment that will still be current when Auracast venues arrive
Will it work with my hearing aids?
Requires LE Audio-enabled hearing aids. Aris AI and Vitality AI support it. If your devices are an older generation, the standard TV Streamer is the right choice instead. Do not guess from the model name. Bring your devices in, or call 770-590-8662 with the serial number and we will confirm it in a minute.
Common questions
Do I need the Edge version or the standard TV Streamer?
It depends on your hearing aids. LE Audio models such as Aris AI and Vitality AI can use the Edge streamer. Older devices need the standard TV Streamer. Bring your devices in and we will tell you in a minute.
What is Auracast?
A Bluetooth broadcast standard that lets a venue transmit audio to many devices at once, so a theater or airport announcement can go straight into your hearing aids. Support is still rolling out, but LE Audio hardware is what you need to use it when it does.
Can more than one person use it?
Yes. LE Audio broadcast allows multiple listeners, so two people with compatible hearing aids can both stream from the same television.
