[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 591102, member: 14557"] Hmm, after making some research it seems that FM systems are used here only/mostly by hearing impaired so finding one to try when one is not using hearing aid can be difficult. Would any kind of walkie-talkie systems with earplugs have any similar effect? Those they have laying around plenty, also the ones that are meant to be used in noisy places that have some background noise dulling and speech emphasizing effect. Also those used in motor sports could most likely be something they would have an access to. That kind of thing could be something that could work in practise situations. Those announcements he misses are of course so random etc. that that kind of accommodation wouldn't be handy. But maybe simply asking them write those things up to white board (they tend to always have one) would be simple and effective and also help others. or asking that they would send difficult child a electric copy of timetable and texts of any changes. It wouldn't be that big thing to ask so it should be doable. difficult child's current positional coach would most likely be willing to try new things with difficult child but their off season training till mid summer will be very different than their normal training. They will train fitness and basic athletics and situation is different and difficult child really doesn't need to hear much when there is background noise. And if he does miss something, he can just go and do what others are doing and no one notices anything. So not the best time for testing. And when they start their normal training difficult child will likely already be somewhere else and of course in this point we don't have any idea how helpful his new coaches will be. And I may still need those links. You see, I'm just a mom. And while I do have basic level comprehension of Macho BS, I'm far from fluent and my expressive skills in it are very limited. However we do have difficult child's mental coach/sport psychiatric who is fluent in both normal people speech and Macho BS and would be much more effective in trying to explain the issue to any given person we would need to help with this. His expertise isn't in this area so I don't believe he has much knowledge, if any, of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). As I said, it is not well-known at all around here. So giving him some info and telling him that this is something that could be worth a try with difficult child would be easiest way to make it happen. Formal testing for it doesn't seem to be an easy option and I'm not sure if it would be of much help anyway. If absolutely necessary it could be done though, maybe not in this country but within sensible flying distance.
