By bringing Bettear to more locations across Canada, communication and listening become more accessible for all communities.
In partnership with local venues, we have expanded access to innovative Audio Accessibility solutions at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Metro Theatre Vancouver, and Grimsby Public Library.
With the utilization of Bettear, now everyone can enjoy crystal clear sound, whether they’re taking part in a live show or enjoying the tranquil quiet of the library’s space.
Seamlessly compatible with your device
Audiences who are Hard of Hearing can now experience live performances with crystal-clear sound streamed directly to their personal devices thanks to the innovative advancements of Bettear, an assitive listening solution that works to break down barriers in the world of sound.
This cutting-edge technology utilizes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth—and with the upcoming release of Auracast™, it is set to revolutionize Audio Accessibility by delivering seamless, high-quality sound without the need for additional equipment.
Imagine attending a theatre performance at the Shadbolt Centre for The Arts, or going to see the latest musical playing at the Metro Theatre. With the help of Bettear, you can connect your hearing aids, cochlear implants, or headphones directly to the streamed audio, so that you can thoroughly enjoy the experience without interruptions or missing parts of the show.
