With a positive emphasis placed on inclusion in the classroom of SEN pupils (Special Educational Needs) and the legal requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), ensuring the ability for hearing impaired students to join a mainstream classroom has become an issue of great importance throughout the UK education sector.

The integration of Sound Field Voice Reinforcement Systems in the classroom, therefore, is becoming more and more popular in mainstream schools, colleges and universities.

	By amplifying the teacher's voice to an intelligible and evenly distributed level throughout the whole of the classroom, pupils with minor hearing impairments can listen on an 'even playing field' with the rest of the mainstream class.
	An Induction Loop System can also be easily connected to our range of Sound Field Systems. An Induction Loop allows hearing aid users to receive voice and AV audio signals and transmit them to the hearing aid Telecoil when set in the 'T' position.

	In early learning years, up to 35% of children may have some form of temporary hearing deficency due to illness, disease or allergies. These children will also significantly benefit from Sound Field in the classroom.
	Children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are also reported to benefit from Sound Field. With an impaired ability to hold their attention or focus on specific activities and subjects, ensuring a clearer and more easily understood message from the teacher can provide significant positive results.
	Many children with Down Syndrome have fluctuating conductive hearing losses further reducing their speech and language. (Studies by the University of Canterbury, NZ) have proved that children with Down Syndrome perceive significantly more speech in all conditions where a Sound Field system is used. FULL DETAILS...
