Are hearing instruments enough or do they also need FM systems?
Some users of digital hearing aids find that the sound quality has improved and the background noise reduced so that they no longer feel they need the assistance of an personal FM system. However, an FM system still has huge advantages in a classroom over digital hearing aids alone. Using the FM system reduces the effects of reverberation (echo) and distance between the teacher and child that are still difficult for a hearing aid alone to cope with. Have a chat with your teacher of the deaf about how your son manages with and without the FM system.
