Classroom audio systems are a win-win for teachers and students alike! Teachers... Even in a classroom with relatively low noise levels, a teacher must project his or her voice to overcome the dynamics of sound travel through air. In order to overcome the loss of voice level over distance, many teachers have to project their voices well above a natural and healthy level for their vocal cords. This results in higher-than-average throat/voice problems for teachers. With the use of classroom audio, a teacher is able to speak in a conversational voice, all students hear them easily, and voice strain is significantly reduced. Students... Recent research has shown that hundreds of thousands of children are at risk academically due to poor classroom acoustics, high levels of noise in the classroom, and mild hearing loss among young students due to ear infections. These same studies show that many of the children who are not hearing sufficiently perform below average in at least one subject. The results from the largest study conducted, Mainstream Amplification Resource Room Study (MARRS Project), have been validated by the U.S. Department of Education. Recent studies confirm classroom audio as a proven tool that can overcome adverse classroom conditions, providing students with enhanced speech recognition and a much improved opportunity to learn. Classroom audio systems are now proven as one of the most powerful and cost-effective tools for enhancing student academic performance.
