[QUOTE="buddy, post: 481699, member: 12886"] LOL. Good then, now you have told him so he will NEVER do it again, I am sure (wink). The system you are talking about is an FM system (there are other names depending on the type of signal). They even have them wiithout the ear phones, kind of like a dedicated FM hearing aid but those are very expensive. Kids who are actually hard of hearing/deaf have either an attachment to the aid or have aids that have the mechanism built in. Research on this is VERY good. There are whole districts that are now building sound field systems (so the whole class, library, auditorium) has speakers that send out the voice of the teacher or student who is taking a turn talking at a 20 to 40 dB level louder than the noise in the room.
