UN Sustainable Development Goals

Where our work makes a difference

  • SDG3Good Health and Well-being

    Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

    • Clear sound for people with hearing loss.
    • Auracast-enabled hearing aids and cochlear implant processors receive the audio directly, in the listener's own fitted sound - no neck loop and no extra device.
    • Hearing challenges are not exclusive to the hard of hearing. They also affect people with ADHD or ADD and individuals experiencing cognitive decline.
    For hearing care professionals
  • SDG4Quality Education

    Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

    • Plug an RTX into a laptop and the lecture becomes live captions, transcripts or a translation into the student's own language.
    • Students who are easily distracted - including those with ADHD - can stream the lecture straight to noise-cancelling earbuds or headphones and tune out the room around them.
    • The back row gets the same result as the front row.
    Education & Training
  • SDG9Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

    Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.

    • Bettear holds patents in Auracast™ broadcast technology and in DAP™, our AI-powered personalized audio.
    • Research support & collaborations: Israel Innovation Authority, Ariel University, Jerusalem Multidisciplinary College.
    • DAP™ adapts soundtracks for hearing-impaired listeners: from 22% with the original soundtrack to 89% with DAP™.
    Discover DAP™
  • SDG10Reduced Inequalities

    Reduce inequality within and among countries.

    • Instead of a box of special receivers that only a few ask for, the audio becomes a public stream that anyone in the room can join with the device they already own - and receivers remain on hand for everyone else.
    • No need to borrow devices or sit in a designated area anymore - just take a seat and enjoy the show.
    Assistive Listening
  • SDG11Sustainable Cities and Communities

    Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.

    • Cultural venues: theatres, halls, museums - the desk mix, not the room.
    • Transport hubs: gate and platform announcements, in their own ears.
    • Sports arenas: commentary over the crowd, not under it.
    Public Administration & Government
