[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 591114, member: 11847"] Check out the iSense from phonak. There are in European countries as well as North America (you are in EU, if I understood right). It is an FM system that is meant for normal or near normal hearing people and if it is sold over there, it means there is a market which means there as to be doctors to prescribe it. A person cannot buy it without an audiologist. It is versatile enough that your difficult child could do sport with it in his ear (can't get wet though). It is very small, specially for an adult ear. The coach would wear the microphone around his neck. Every thing else that woud be low quality would just create other and more issues (we've sone that and it was not working). Some are good quality but bulky with wires... not practical in a sport situation. Although we are not 100% sure, husband has probably some forms of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). He's biggest strategy to compensate: lip reading. He taught himself. Obviously does not work in every situations but it is a big help to him. He now does it without thinking about it. Maybe your difficult child could learn to focus on people's lips. I don't know if anyone could formely teach him... might be hard to find. I'm sorry I don't have any good links on hand. But for me, the easiest way to understand it: it's like a foreign language, even though you heard what was being said it can take a minute to process it and make sense of it. A language that you don't completely master yet is also harder to understand in noisy situation. I believe you guys speak more than 1 language, so maybe you can relate to it. I certainly can! lol There are sveral forms of Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), but this explanation kind of covers the basics. Without thorough testings, it's near impossible to know which Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is really affecting your son. [/QUOTE]
