___________________________________________________​

The use of SoundField Systems not only benefits Children with hearing loss but also everybody else in the Classroom.

 

Scientific research suggests that Children up to the age of about 16 do not possess the same auditory processing skills as adults, and so struggle to hear the spoken word in noisy environments.

 

Soundfields also benefit in many other ways including, protecting the Teachers voice, Aiding students with processing disorders and Students whose first language is not English.
