Hearing aids alone do not make listening easier in all situations. Background noise, distance, reverberation, and echo can all interfere with listening.

Babies and young children listen in difficult situations every day – listening in the car, at daycare, and playing outside or at the park. FM systems are used to help overcome the challenges of listening in noisy places.

From peer-to-peer work and lectures to activities which include various forms of multimedia, classrooms are places designed for both students and teachers to participate, engage, discuss and truly interact.

In order to keep up with fast-changing learning environments, the Roger for Education portfolio offers various intuitive and easy-to-use solutions, designed for any lesson. Students and teachers alike now have the opportunity to master various modern classroom activities with ease.

Wireless audio systems, designed to improve communication and understanding for children with hearing loss, have improved dramatically since the inception of the FM system in the 1960s. In fact, the latest iteration makes it easier than ever for kids to have a personal wireless system outside the classroom, an important step in helping them reach their educational and social goals.

When working with students who are deaf or hard of hearing, teachers might notice that the students may struggle to hear in the presence of background noise even while wearing hearing aids and cochlear implants. Hearing Assistive Technologies (e.g. FM/digital wireless and audio distribution systems) are a means of addressing this issue.
