Assistive Listening Devices with Soundfield SystemsAssistive listening devices help to overcome the problems of distance, and to a certain extent, background noise, to give a good signal to noise ratio (SNR) to deaf children and young people. Assistive listening devices / radio aid systems can be connected to soundfield systems. Studies and experience have shown that for children with hearing aids and cochlear implants Soundfield systems can be used in the classroom, as a benefit to all children listening in noisy situations. Radio aids can be connected to a Soundfield system to further enhance speech intelligibility of the deaf CYP. However, when correctly connected to a soundfield system, these pupils have the benefit of good access to speech plus the overall benefits of the soundfield system, such as keeping background noise down in the classroom.
