[QUOTE="buddy, post: 528753, member: 12886"] OK I'm home, can type better....for sure go for the FM system but it wont make adhd symptoms worse unless they are using ear molds that bother him or he doesn't like the sound of it, that would be a sensitivity to that though. From what I have read and what the most recent audiologists I have talked to have said, it helps kids who have any form of attention issue whether Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), adhd, autism, and all of those. If he can't handle a personal system (headphones or hearing aid type) they might try a speaker in the room near him. Whole schools systems are using them precisely because they DO help with adhd and those other marginal and hidden disabilities. If it was not so I highly doubt thousands and thousands of dollars would be spent on these systems in classrooms and schools these days. With how many kids have adhd, if it would set them off can you imagine those classes and school districts that have them??? LOL!
