Lightspeed audio amplification: Benefits all students, not just hearing impaired

Hearing impairments are identified as an area of disability under I.D.E.A., and research conducted by the Department of Education states that the use of assisted technology in the classroom not only benefits students with hearing impairments, but rather enhances the learning of all students and is considered best practice.

Lightspeed is one resource that has been proven effective.

This classroom audio system can be used in K-12 schools to enhance the teacher's voice, ensuring that sound is evenly distributed throughout the room. For students who have a hearing impairment, this type of technology will greatly improve their learning environment.

The system includes speakers that can be mounted on the wall or placed in the ceiling around the room, a receiver/amplifier, and a wireless mircrophone that transmits the teacher's voice clearly, enabling students to hear the teacher in any location of the classroom.
