To assist individuals during one-on-one or small group conversations, the facilities should consider the Personal FM Listening System and the Pocketalker® Personal Amplifier.

Education:

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 Williams Sound, 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 can be the difference of learning and not learning.

Here’s how it works: The teacher wears a body-pack style transmitter equipped with a lapel microphone. The student that requires hearing assistance wears a body-pack style receiver and picks up the message directly from the teacher into their headphones by way of a 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.
