Hearing Augmentation in NSW Public School
Location: Rutherford Public School, Rutherford, New South Wales
Hearing loss is quite common in Australia, affecting 3.6 million people country wide. With 3-6 children in every 1000 born with some degree of hearing loss, it is imperative to support these children during their time of development. Just like Rutherford Public School in NSW, schools across Australia are gearing up to implement new audio technology to support children with hearing needs. Brands like Phonak can help provide the instruments needed to create a dynamic classroom environment for all students.
Hearing loss in children can affect a child’s ability to listen, learn and develop speech. It can cause a child to slow down in their learning, lower their confidence and self-worth and can impact their mental and emotional wellbeing. To stop this, schools are implementing tools such as the Phonak Roger Focus and the Phonak Soundfield to better the learning conditions of students. Implementing hearing solutions such as the microphone in the video does not just positively affect the hearing-impaired children but also works to nurture confidence in all.
