I just saw this demonstration and found this to be very informative in how a hearing challenged person hears in a classroom. I have elderly in laws and a parent with hearing challenges and this helps understand their world AND that there are other options out there partnering with a hearing aid. The pricing for the FM system isn't too expensive either. Additionally, I cannot help but imagine what a classroom dynamic would be like for a sensory challenged child who struggles with processing information because of classroom distractions such as lighting, noise, etc. When viewing this demonstration take a step back and think of that population too.
