THD Podcast 128 - Renesas launches a dualmode BT 20hr battery for Assisted Hearing – LE Audio Auracast Classic

The Total Harmonic Discussion / the THD Podcast. A weekly discussion on audio and headphone technologies and the people who bring the technology to market.

In episode 128 of the THD Podcast, Adrie Van Meijeren, the product marketing director for audio & voice at Renesas Electronics, joins to present their new dual-mode Bluetooth IC, the DA14870.

This new BT chip can enable hearing assist devices by providing ultra-low power consumption and high-quality audio streaming through support for Bluetooth 6.0 and LE Audio, Auracast and BT Classic. These chips are critical for both Over-the-Counter (OTC) and clinical audiology devices because they allow for miniaturised form factors and extended battery life, even during continuous audio streaming.

This means that the same hearing aid or hearing assist devices can adjust between use for assisted hearing and high-quality audio playback on the same device. At least from the BT link perspective ;)
