1 Can You Hear Me Now? An Ears-On Demonstration of FM System Use and Misuse Linda Koehler and Donna Casavant Maine Educational Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

2 Objectives Participants will know the optimal ways to use Hearing Assistive Technology (HAT) transmitting equipment. Participants will understand the consequences of common mistakes made with HAT transmitters.

3 YAY! Misuse versus faux pas or OOPS We appreciate your intent to maximize auditory access for our students with hearing loss. We know the many things you have to juggle in your classrooms.

4 OOPS! Playing with the equipment Webinar audio Common mistakes and how they sound

5 Clarification of Terms Hearing Assistive Technology (HAT) all equipment that helps people hear. HAT includes: Personal Technology Hearing Aid Cochlear Implant

6 Clarification of Terms FM Technology: Transmitters Phonak Inspiro, Roger Smart/Zoom/ Easy Link Oticon Amigo

7 Clarification of Terms Wearing Options Lavalier/lanyard or Belt Clip Lapel or boom microphone

8 Wearing the Transmitter Inspiro/Roger/Amigo Lavalier or Lanyard vs Belt Clip SmartLink/ZoomLink/ EasyLink

9 Accessory Equipment Clarification of Terms MultiTalker Network DynaMic or Pass around Audio patch cord

10 Clarification of Terms Shoe or Boot FM Technology: Receivers MyLink Integrated Receiver Phonak isense Oticon Amigo Star

11 Clarification of Terms FM Technology: Receivers Dynamic SoundField or Tower

12 Microphone Placement Centered within 6 inches of mouth, free of interfering accessories, microphone dots or screen* facing out. Inspiro/Roger/Amigo Link series

13 Microphone Placement Boom Microphone Advantage: consistent speech signal regardless of head movement Positioning Directly in front of mouth Right way around Can block visual access to speechreading

14 Demonstrations Beware of: Too low (lapel/links) Off to side Dots in

15 Microphone Placement Inspiro/Roger/Amigo Link series Centered Within 6 inches of mouth Free of interfering accessories microphone dots or screen* facing out.

16 Unintended Noise Beware of: Banging / holding microphone casing (lapel/link) Muting by covering Keys Jewelry: necklaces, bracelets Buttons, zippers, swishy fabric Scarves Fidgets: papers, pencils Private conversations and functions

17 Access? HAT improves auditory access but does not necessarily correct hearing to normal range and clarity Transmitters turned off, unsynched, networked Receivers not attached Personal technology not in correct program (if applicable) On/off vs. muting Audio patch cord

18 Checklist Daily listening check Turned on Receivers on Correct program (if they have them) Synched (Transmitter to Receiver) Networked (Inspiro to secondary or DynaMic) Microphones are free of interfering accessories

19 Accessing Peer Communication Student comments from across the room

20 Accessing Peer Communication It is essential that students hear what their peers say! Questions Answers Comments Jokes

21 Accessing Peer Communication One Transmitter Do Wear the microphone if possible Handle it gently when transferring Clip it to a ruler for smoother passing Hold it at chest with dots out for best reception

22 Accessing Peer Communication One Transmitter Beware of: Handling the microphone Holding it too close to your mouth Moving the microphone Distance from mouth

23 Accessing Peer Communication Two Transmitters Do Confirm MultiTalker Network is synched Leave the Primary Inspiro/Roger turned on, you can mute Hold DynaMic still and high at chest

24 Accessing Peer Communication Student Use of Transmitter Beware of: Ineffective position and distance Holding vs. using stand Fidgeting swaying mic, antenna wrapping, banging Inspiro overrides DynaMic or secondary Inspiro signal

25 Accessing Peer Communication EasyLink. SmartLink, ZoomLink Do Handle carefully to minimize noise Stand Link in cup in center of tight group

26 Summary Establish communication with students Do they know if it s working? Can/Will they tell you if it s not working? How? Build vocabulary for precise communication Will they be an expert for others? Troubleshooting Teaching substitute teachers Play and hear the consequences it s enlightening!

27 Proper use of HAT is a vital part of maximizing access for many students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Summary

28 Summary It s not easy to think of and remember all of these details. We all make mistakes and have misunderstandings which we can learn from!

29 Summary Keep up the great work! Contact your PSO consultant if you have any questions.
