Resound has released version 1.39 of their “Smart 3D” phone app, which includes support for Auracast.
Has anybody had any luck with this? I gave it a quick try and it finds the Auracast transmitter I have setup (AK3040ProMax), but I can’t click on it and eventually it just times out.
(My Auracast transmitter shows up as TYL.Auracast_ffbb)
You didn’t say what hearing aid model you are using. Only the Nexia and Vivia will work.
Anyhow, I’m interested in reading if someone got it work on either a iPhone or Android. Hopefully, someone will try it with a FMA120 FlooGoo.
Also make sure you are using the latest Resound software for your hearing aids.

You mean firmware no doubt .
I’ve just been made aware that SmartFit software has just been updated to 2.1 as well.
Yes, the firmware in the hearing aid.
I have Nexia / Jabra EnhancePro 20s. Firmware is up to date according to the Smart 3D app.
I will upgrade SmartFit tomorrow and try if will check if newer firmware is available via SmartFit. I don’t have my Noahlink with me today.
Last time the phone app did not report an available firmware upgrade, but SmartFit did.
Either way though, I would expect the phone app to be clever enough to alert me if I need a HA firmware upgrade for Auracast.
I have Jabra EP20 ITC HAs. I tried the Resound Smart 3D phone app and It works on my Jabras. I also have the Resound TV streamer plus. This app v1.39 found the TV streamer and it worked fine. I am going to try the auracast search function on Sunday at church that uses a Moerlabs auracast tranmsmitter. I’ll report back then
Great, looking forward to hearing back on this, you’ll be one of the first to confirm!
Yes, this has been confirmed to work with the FMA120 as an Auracast sender.
lol. The news headlines casually buried in the text of the story. If someone could mention this to some of the hearing industry influencers who seem to believe that Auracast in public buildings is way off in the distant future.
I double-checked that there is no Firmware update available for my Jabra EP20s. Version 9.68.1.0 is the latest, even when checking with SmartFit.
I also don’t see any SmartFit v2.1 update being available.
Next I tried another Auracast transmitter: Eppfun BTR5 - this one doesn’t work either.
Same as with the first one I tried: The phone app finds the Auracast stream, but there is no way to connect to it. It just times out.
The SmartFit v2.1 is available for download right now - I just checked.
They must be slowly rolling it out. There is no update for me yet.
Just keep checking, the roll out is country dependant, you could uninstall and reinstall SmartFit and use USA or UK.
I use nexia 7. I have a Pixel 8 phone with android betta 16.2. LE Audio settings have appeared in the phone menu. When this mode is enabled, the Audio sharing and Find an audio stream buttons appear. But for now, the LE Audio mode is unstable and sometimes the left hearing aid reboots on its own. I’m very glad that all the settings appeared like in IOS. You can switch the operating modes of hearing aids without installing the resound 3D application.
