The type of amplification used by a child depends largely on their level of hearing loss. Some children use hearing aids to help amplify sound. Others who do not benefit from hearing aids may have cochlear implants. Many children have a personal FM system, which works with a person’s hearing aid or cochlear implant to overcome the negative effects of background noise, distance, and reverberation.
