Wavefront Centre is bringing Bettear audio streaming technology to iconic summer events

Wavefront Centre is excited to share that individuals with hearing loss can now enjoy clear, high-quality audio at some of Vancouver’s most beloved live events using the Bettear app.

If you use Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids or cochlear implants, Bettear streams audio directly to your device for a more immersive experience.
