Noise Levels

Pass along to coworkers as you wish,

If you are interested in what your classroom noise level is, download this free app to your iPhone or iPad:

If you do this, please send me your reports. I’d be interested in seeing what your classroom noise levels are at various times of the day. No worries-nobody is going to get into trouble with me for high noise levels.

As I am sitting in my small room, alone, the average dB level is 40dB. The culprit-the HVAC system.

As you try this, if you try this, imagine the obstacle (the big one) that noise presents to students with hearing loss. If you aren’t pleased with your noise levels, or have questions about classroom acoustics, shoot me an email.

Give it a try and shoot me a response.

Oticon Products

Met today with our south east regional manager, Candace Depp. We just began using their products last year, and I have been thoroughly impressed with the customer service and the products themselves. Unlike other hearing aid manufacturers, Oticon strives to make as much of their products universal as they can, so that compatibility won't be as much of an issue. Do yourself a favor if you are a DHH education professional-check Oticon out!
