Amazon Fire TV Introduces Dual Audio and Expands Accessibility Features

The new Dual Audio feature allows simultaneous listening via hearing aids and TV speakers, with expanded support for ASHA-compatible devices and improved tactile packaging for visually impaired users.

Amazon's new Dual Audio feature enables users with ASHA-enabled hearing aids to stream audio directly while others listen through the TV's built-in speakers, fostering a shared viewing experience.
The feature will be available first on the Fire TV Omni Mini-LED Series through a free software update in the coming weeks, with compatibility across other Fire TV devices including the Omni QLED Series and Fire TV Cube.
Amazon has expanded ASHA protocol support to include Widex Moment Behind-The-Ear (BTE) and Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) hearing aids, in partnership with WS Audiology, joining existing collaborations with Starkey and Cochlear.
New tactile-marked QR codes on device packaging improve accessibility for blind and low-vision users, directing them to enhanced digital setup guides and troubleshooting resources when scanned.
These updates reflect Amazon's broader commitment to accessibility, aiming to make its devices more inclusive for users with disabilities worldwide.
