It's a new day of one of our young students. This student just received the Oticon Amigo Arc (OAA) system, and what a difference it has already made! The teacher and student began wearing the system this morning and the teacher already notes an improvement in the student's listening and following directions. It would be wonderful if all students with hearing loss had access to a personal FM system all day. The OAA helps by taking the voice of the person wearing the microphone right to the student using it. While we can expect improvement to take some time, we can expect a difference to be noticed right away. Two questions I wanted to address...
Why can it take time to see improvement? Doesn't the OAA fix the hearing loss? It does NOT fix it, and it takes a while to see improvement because it takes a length of time for a user to re-learn how to listen. I could type on and on about personal FM systems, but I'll keep it brief and let you know you can ask me any questions about the educational benefits of using the OAA or any other personal FM system by emailing me at kkeasler@oconee.k12.sc.us.
If you get a chance to own an OAA system, you won't be disappointed! Click here to check out Oticon products.
