This is fantastic!!!! My son wears a BAHA device and *this* is what we try to explain to his teachers all the time! Some get it and some don't. Everything is amplified!! I sooooo wish that I could have had this last year when my son was in second grade!! His teacher then just didn't even try to understand! At the school where he is now, the teacher wears a microphone and has a surround sound system in her class. It makes a huge difference. Thanks for this. I am definitely sharing!!!
What an awesome video! I will definitely be sharing this. As someone who not only has a moderate-severe hearing loss, but also has a child with a hearing loss as well, this is a perfect tool in helping others understand just how beneficial ...her FM system is in school (too bad I don't have access to one for my college classes).
We are forever grateful to John Sexton for his advocacy in getting the school to purchase an FM system for Emily. She has done remarkably well!
I shared this on my facebook page, and it was pointed out to me by someone with hearing loss, that if you can't hear, this demonstration is useless. It also does not have captions. How disappointing. This should be geared to all audiences.
Hello - Your friend's point is well taken. When we originally produced this, we were focused on presenting the audio track to hearing people who really needed to experience how the speech signal becomes degraded when listeing with a hearing aid at distance and in noise. We did not anticipate a widespread audience, nor did we have the capability to add captioning. We are now looking into making a captioned version. Stay tuned:) And thanks for pointing this out.
This is the best FM simulation I have seen - thank you for producing this. My son has a moderately severe hearing loss and uses hearing aids and an Inspiro FM system in school - it makes a huge difference for him! I have forwarded this to his speech therapist and will show it to his pre-kindergarten teacher as well!
And thank you for viewing and sharing this with people you know. Please pass the word - We want teachers, parents, and administrators to experience the difference with wireless FM technology!
Sure I will. I used it yesterday during my training for mainstream school teachers and teaching assistants who have hearing impaired children in their classes - mind blowing. Anything I said and prepared could not be compared with the real example you provided :)
Thank you ten thousand times for this video. It shows in a fantastic way the problems hard of hearing student may face. Fantastic, mind-blowing training material.
We really appreciate your enthusiastic reation! We were very pleased with the way it came out. I use it all the time in every school I go to, and it never fails to make an impression. My students have shown it to their classmates too. Please get the word out - I'd really like the video to be seen as long as it is relevant to taday's technology. -jim
