Schools across Australia are investing in audio technology to create more inclusive learning environments for every student. By combining teacher voice distribution with hearing augmentation technology, schools can improve listening conditions while supporting students with and without hearing devices.
A recent Catholic primary school project in Melbourne demonstrates how Hear & Learn’s SoundHouse provides a flexible solution for both refurbished and modern learning spaces.
Flexible Installation for Every Classroom
During the refurbishment, some classrooms included wall cavities that allowed the SoundHouse to be recessed into the wall, while others required an on-wall installation due to solid wall construction.
Hear & Learn offers two SoundHouse models, allowing every classroom to benefit from the same high-quality hearing augmentation solution regardless of the building layout.
Each unit securely stores teacher microphones while distributing both teacher voice and screen audio evenly throughout the classroom.
Better Listening Conditions for Every Student
Providing clear listening conditions benefits every learner. SoundHouse delivers consistent audio across the entire classroom so students can hear the teacher clearly no matter where they are seated.
The system also supports a wide range of hearing augmentation devices by integrating transmitters compatible with hearing aids and other assistive listening technology. Hear & Learn supplies the appropriate transmitters based on each school’s individual requirements.
This combination of classroom audio and hearing augmentation technology helps schools create more inclusive learning environments that support student participation and engagement.
Backed by HearAssist Support
Every installation includes Hear & Learn’s HearAssist package, providing professional commissioning, teacher training and ongoing technical support.
With in-wall and on-wall installation options, custom colour finishes and seamless integration with hearing augmentation systems, SoundHouse is designed to suit both new and refurbished classrooms.
As more Australian schools prioritise inclusive education, flexible classroom audio and hearing augmentation solutions continue to improve listening conditions and provide better learning experiences for every student.
