Hearing impaired children and students need to hear their teacher very well. For
learning they depend on hearing and understanding each and every syllable of what is said in class.
Such a high sound quality cannot be delivered by hearing aids alone. In the school environment acoustical
barriers are formed by - noise in the classroom
- poor
acoustical conditions
which cause reverberation (echo), and
- distance between the teacher and the
student,
which can be easily several meters.
FM for schools
|  | Phonak’s FM systems are worldwide accepted as the best solution to help hearing impaired children and students in the classroom. Phonak’s transmitters are easy to use by teachers, and for virtually each make and model of hearing instrument or cochlear implant a choice of miniaturized FM receivers exist. The user friendliness and the miniaturization are important for acceptance. The supreme sound quality and huge benefit children derive from using Phonak FM ensure that the FM system continues to be used long-term. |
For
regular schools, Phonak offers easy to use and very effective FM products. No
child with hearing aids should be allowed to go to a school where Phonak’s FM is not available. For
special schools (deaf schools), Phonak offers additional features, like automatic wireless frequency
synchronization. This means that when a child goes to a different classroom, he/she will automatically
hear the voice of the teacher in the new classroom. This gives schools the educational flexibility they
need. In classes with more than one teacher or with a teacher and a therapist, MultiTalker Network is
a revolutionary concept that allows multiple speakers to address one classroom. For special schools
with a mixed population of children with hearing instruments, cochlear implants, bone anchored hearing
aids or children with auditory processing disorders (without hearing instruments), Phonak offers receivers
for each type. This means that a teacher needs only one transmitter and he/she can address all of the
children in the classroom. Phonak strives to offer continued compatibility, along with excellent audiological
and technical support.
