The problem hidden in every school

How do you know if every child can hear everything that is said?

Imagine a child who doesn’t hear everything said in the classroom perfectly clearly.

He/she might well not admit there is a problem for fear of drawing attention to him/herself.   After all, not too many children actually ask to sit at the front!

So the situation continues.  The hearing deficit may be modest but, combined with poor acoustics in the room or extraneous noise from outside, it can lead to the child missing a lot.  The child resorts to asking a friend what was said, what the homework was and so on.  And work suffers.

A problem with hearing in the classroom, whether it is because the child suffers from hearing loss or has difficulty hearing because of the acoustics of the room, can go on for years without being spotted.

Any issues of this sort, whatever their cause, can be resolved quickly and easily by using a Soundfield system – a system already used in hundreds of schools across the UK.

In order to show how positive the benefits of a Soundfield system can be we can offer a free trial in a classroom in your school. You simply tell us when it is convenient to visit your school and we come in, set up the equipment, and show the relevant teacher how to use it.

The whole process takes about 15 minutes and you can then keep the equipment for up to three weeks. If you like it and it is having a beneficial effect on the learning in school, then great, we will leave you an invoice. If not, then we’ll come and collect it.

Alternatively if you would like us to have a look at your school hall and offer some advice regarding simple equipment to help ensure the school is complying with the relevant regulations in relation to visitors and pupils who are hard of hearing, we will be pleased to help.

To arrange a free three-week trial in a classroom or to invite us to take a look at a larger area such as an assembly hall please do:

I look forward to hearing from you.
