Do any of your students struggle to hear as a result of noisy surroundings, distractions, or distance from the sound source? Do any of your students in your classroom suffer from a hearing disability? With technologies such as the Personal FM Listening System from manufacturers such as Williams Sound and Listen Technologies, everyone in the classroom can hear, without distraction, at a volume that accommodates their hearing needs while helping them perform. In fact, studies show that students that hear better in the classroom, perform better in the classroom. Empowering students with the right technology such as the Personal FM Listening Systems can be the difference between learning and not learning.
Here's an example of how a Personal FM Listening System works: The teacher wears a body-pack style FM transmitter equipped with a lapel microphone. The student that requires hearing assistance wears a body-pack style FM receiver and picks up the message directly from the teacher into their headphones by way of an FM signal. Background noise and other environmental distractions are greatly reduced, and the student can adjust the volume of their receiver to a listening level that is comfortable for them.
The Williams Sound Motiva PFM 360 model is particularly unique as the FM receiver has its own external microphone. By turning on the external microphone, the FM receiver acts like a personal hearing amplifier; it will pick up the closest immediate sound source. Thus, the student can easily switch their attention between listening to the teacher or participating in a group discussion.
For larger classrooms or lecture halls exceeding 500 feet, teachers should consider using an FM Listening System or an IR Listening System from manufacturers such as Williams Sound and Listen Technologies. Students use body-pack style receivers equipped with headphones (or earphones) to hear the teacher speak. The teacher speaks into a microphone which is connected to a transmitter or emitter. The result is, any student in the room can hear the teacher clearly and easily, and can adjust the volume to meet their hearing assistance needs. Because the student's receivers are wireless, they are free to move about in the room, and they won't miss any of the teacher's important messages.
