Our Services

HEARING AIDS

Hearing aids are vital for individuals with hearing impairments because they significantly improve quality of life by enhancing the ability to hear and communicate. For those who experience hearing loss, simple activities like conversations, listening to music, or enjoying social events can become challenging or isolating. Hearing aids amplify sound and can be tailored to different environments, allowing users to engage more fully in daily interactions. They support cognitive health by reducing the mental strain caused by struggling to hear, which can lead to fatigue and withdrawal from social situations. Moreover, modern hearing aids with Bluetooth and AI integration offer seamless connectivity to smartphones, TVs, and other devices, helping users stay connected in an increasingly digital world. Access to clear sound is crucial for maintaining relationships, personal well-being, and active participation in community life, making hearing aids an essential tool for those who need them.

AR GLASSES

Augmented reality (AR) glasses and closed captioning glasses have become groundbreaking tools for individuals with visual or hearing impairments, enhancing accessibility in diverse environments. AR glasses like eSight and Envision use advanced cameras and software to help people with low vision see their surroundings more clearly by providing real-time enhancements of visual information, enabling them to engage with the world more independently. Closed captioning glasses, such as XRAI Glass, display real-time subtitles directly in the user's field of vision, allowing individuals with hearing impairments to follow along with spoken dialogue without missing any details. These technologies offer a more immersive experience by reducing barriers to visual and auditory content, helping people participate more fully in cultural, social, and professional settings. Both types of glasses promote inclusivity and equal access to information, enriching the lives of users by fostering greater independence and connectivity to the world around them.

ACCESSIBLE TECHNOLOGY

Accessible technologies like OneCourt.io and Bluetooth Auracast™ are transformative in making sports and entertainment venues more inclusive, allowing individuals with various accessibility needs to experience events more fully. OneCourt.io enables fans to access real-time audio streams of in-venue content, such as play-by-play commentary, directly on their personal devices, providing greater engagement for fans who may have difficulty hearing or seeing the action on the field. Bluetooth Auracast, a new technology allowing seamless audio broadcasting to an unlimited number of hearing aids or personal devices, enhances this further by enabling users to tune into live audio streams in real time without needing additional hardware. These technologies create a barrier-free experience, ensuring that individuals with hearing or vision impairments can connect with the event in the same way as other fans. By integrating such tools into venues, sports and entertainment organizations promote inclusivity, allowing everyone—regardless of physical limitations—to enjoy the excitement and emotion of live events. This not only elevates the fan experience but also aligns venues with broader goals of accessibility and equality, enhancing their reputation and reach.
