As a parent of a child who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing, you may be anxious about how they can get the most from their education. Chime provides support for children in preschool, school and college through a range of assistive technologies that has been designed specifically for learning environments.

You can rest assured that with Chime, your child is getting the assistance they need. We work closely with the Department of Education and Skills, the Visiting Teacher Service and the HSE to provide EduTech support, with Personal and Soundfield Systems.  Our expert team can install these systems in educational settings to improve access to the teacher or lecturer’s voice, helping students to learn and communicate better.

You can find out more about EduTech by downloading this brochure.

EduTech systems are designed to improve the signal to noise ratio, which means that it improves access to the teacher’s voice over and above the surrounding background classroom noise. This makes it easier for the student to hear what the teacher is saying, allowing them to concentrate more on learning and understanding. These systems have  many benefits.

• Aids in the students’ understanding
• Helps the teacher to instruct and manage the class
• Reduces background noise for clearer communication
• It is an easy-to-use system that benefits both hearing and Hard of Hearing students
• Reduces voice strain for teachers.

While you might think that EduTech seems a little daunting, we are always here to offer help and support, including:

• A free trial
• A repair, refit, service
• A replacement loan service is included on some products
• Full email and phone support
• One-to-one demonstration on how to use the products.
