Enjoy crystal-clear audio at venues like Deer Lake Park, thanks to Wavefront Centre and Shadbolt Centre for the Arts bringing Bettear to live performances.

At Wavefront Centre, we are committed to breaking down barriers to accessibility and ensuring that everyone can fully experience arts, culture and live performance.   

In partnership with local venues, we have expanded access to innovative audio accessibility solutions at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Metro Theatre Vancouver and Grimbsy Public Library.

Seamlessly Compatible with Your Device 

With the installation of Bettear, audiences who are Hard of Hearing can now experience live performances with crystal-clear sound streamed directly to their personal devices.  

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. 

Bettear integrates effortlessly with smartphones, Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, cochlear implants, and headphones, creating a more inclusive and immersive listening experience for all. 

How Does It Work? 

1. Connect to the Wi-Fi (either the venue’s or your own).  
2. Download and open the Bettear app (available on all major app stores). 
3. Follow the simple on-screen instructions to stream audio directly to your device. 

By championing innovative audio accessibility solutions like Bettear, Wavefront Centre is transforming the way we experience arts and culture—ensuring that everyone can fully immerse themselves, so that every note, every word, and every shared moment should be yours to enjoy, creating lasting memories that bring us closer together. 

“Wavefront Centre introduced us to audio accessibility. Having Bettear available provided a high-quality sound experience for program attendees with hearing loss using cochlear implants or hearing aids. People who have used Bettear have shared their appreciation, and they keep coming back for more presentations.” — Ryan Waldron, Deputy CEO, Grimsby Public Library.

Join us at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Metro Theatre Vancouver, Grimsby Public Library and many other venues across Canada to experience Bettear for yourself—you’ll hear the difference!
