LE Audio: The Future of Bluetooth Streaming for Hearing Aids
Bluetooth technology is constantly evolving, and LE Audio is the latest standard for wireless streaming. It offers improved sound quality, lower power consumption, and broader compatibility with modern devices. The Bernafon Encanta hearing aids support this new Bluetooth variant. However, many smartphones and other devices do not support it by default. The Easy LE Adapter provides a practical solution, enabling many Android phones to connect to LE Audio.
What is LE Audio?
LE Audio stands for Low Energy Audio. It is the next step in Bluetooth development and offers several advantages over classic Bluetooth audio:
Improved sound quality with less delay
Lower power consumption, ideal for devices like hearing aids
Support for Auracast™, allowing audio to be streamed to multiple receivers at the same time
These features make LE Audio especially suitable for wireless applications where reliability, sound quality, and energy efficiency are key.
Easy LE Adapter: Easily connect more devices
Not every device supports LE Audio out of the box. With the Easy LE Adapter, it becomes possible to connect devices such as Android smartphones to LE Audio-compatible hearing aids like the Bernafon Encanta.
The adapter connects via the USB-C port of the smartphone or tablet. Thanks to the pass-through functionality, the device can continue to charge during use. This allows users to benefit from the advantages of LE Audio without compromising on usability or battery life.
