Apple adapted Bluetooth LE for ultra-low power hearing aids
Last month, Apple and Cochlear teamed up to showcase the latter's new made-for-iPhone implant for folks with hearing loss. Now, Wired has revealed that the pair had to stretch the boundaries of possibility to make one of its signature functions work.

That's why Apple cooked up a way to push audio to devices using a tweaked version of the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol.
