The Student's Hearing: Ideally, students would experience consistently normal hearing; however, on any given day about 43% of primary level children fail a pure-tone screening at 15 dB and/or immittance screening. It is incredibly costly and impractical to monitor every child's hearing due to students who may experience episodes of middle ear infections. 6. The Student's Experience: Adults can miss parts of a message and fill them in using their life and language experience; however, the young student is learning from the messages spoken in the classroom and has limited life experience to use to fill in the blanks. An unnecessary amount of energy is expended to just hear the signal. This energy could be better spent thinking about what is taught, integrating the information and applying the information into their lives. Sound field equalization provides a solution to the listening issues by amplifying the teacher's voice through speakers strategically placed in the classroom. Sound field equalization systems are the most cost-effective and acceptable technology for facilitating classroom listening. Benefits of using sound field equalization include: • Reduced student fatigue • Improved academic achievement • Increased positive behavior • Reduced teacher fatigue • More positive, energetic teaching [email protected] 877.268.7215
