1. Welcome
For the best possible learning experience children must
be able to hear the teacher’s voice clearly in class, but
unfortunately this is not always possible. Factors such
as classroom noise, the distance between teacher and
students, and challenging classroom acoustics can make
understanding the teacher difficult, even for children
with normal hearing. For teachers meanwhile, noisy
classrooms mean raising the voice to be heard, which
in turn often leads to vocal hoarseness, pain and in
the case of temporary voice loss, time off work.
Dynamic SoundField significantly improves the
listening and learning performance of schoolchildren,
while also saving the voices of the teachers.
Dynamic SoundField is brought to you by Phonak.
Phonak is the world leader in hearing and communication
technology, innovation and reliability, based in Switzer-
land. With proper care and usage, Dynamic SoundField
will support your communication needs for many years.
