Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes pairing a first auditory device associated with a first user with an audio source. The method further includes generating a first user profile for the first user that includes first user preferences for streaming a first audio stream from the audio source to the first auditory device. The method further includes pairing a second auditory device associated with a second user with the audio source. The method further includes generating a second user profile for the second user. The method further includes determining, with the audio source, that the first auditory device and the second auditory device are within a proximity range of the audio source. The method further includes transmitting the first audio stream to the first auditory device based on the first user preferences and the second audio stream to the second auditory device based on the second user preferences.
