A Wi-Fi-based assistive listening solution designed to enable hard-of-hearing individuals to participate in live events, such as concerts and lectures, with ease, allowing them to enjoy the experience just like everybody else.
Bettear SHOW connects directly to the audio source, such as a microphone or a sound console, effectively sampling the sound in real-time while overcoming reverberant environments and background noise. It then distributes the audio over a designated WiFi network to personal smartphones with low latency. Through the Bettear App, audio is streamed directly to the user’s hearing-aids, cochlear implants, or any other earpiece/accessory.

How can I know if a venue is accessible?
A map showing accessible locations can be accessed by tapping the map icon at the Bettear app’s main screen, where you can easily search for accessible venues.
*Only venues with a permanent Bettear system installed appear in the accessibility map.
*For events in venues without a permanent accessibility system, contact the event organizers to verify that the event is accessible with Bettear.
I have a hearing aid or cochlear implant, does the Bettear app support direct streaming to my hearing aid?
We do our best to support as many models of Bluetooth-compatible hearing aids and cochlear implants as possible.
Generally, if your hearing aid is connected to your personal smartphone and is used for phone calls and for listening to music streamed from your smartphone, it should work properly with the Bettear app.
If you don’t know how to connect the hearing aid to your smartphone, we recommend contacting us.
Can I use Bettear in more typical, day-to-day scenarios?
We are aware that face-to-face conversations in a noisy setting presents a daily challenge for many individuals, which is why the Bettear app also offers a “meeting” mode – a solution for a conversation in noisy environments, anywhere, based on the smartphone’s microphone and without the need for additional hardware.
I am experiencing high latency (delay) between the sound source and my listening device. How can I fix it?
There are several possible causes for high latency audio:
- Using an older smartphone device or one with incompatible hardware, such as dual-band WiFi or a Bluetooth chip that does not support features required for low latency audio.
- Using a hearing aid that doesn’t support features required for low latency audio.
– Try enabling the “optimize Bluetooth performance” option at the Bettear app’s audio settings menu. - The venue may be experiencing a technical issue.
