Our Mission Statement
We are a non-profit organization
created to educate the public about the hearing issues, needs and
limitations specific to ALL children in EVERY classroom setting
and to advocate the integration of sound enhancement technology
to compensate for those auditory learning problems and increase
opportunity for successful academic achievement.
Auditory learning comprises up to 75% of a child's
day in school and relies on two essential components:
- The child's hearing ability.
- Classroom acoustics.
If either is compromised,
so is the child's ability and desire to learn.
Please note: the term Sound Enhancement
Technology or Sound Enhancement System (SES)
is often referred to as sound amplification, sound distribution,
and sound field technology. The terms can be used interchangeably;
however, we prefer the term "enhancement" because it is a more accurate
description of the overall benefits. This technology enhances the
quality of the teacher's voice, enhances the student's acoustic
accessibility to their teacher and peers, and therefore enhances
the learning experience and subsequent academic potential.
