My Child’s Technology at School (SM/DM/HAT)
The purpose of Hearing Assistance Technology is to prioritize the speaker’s voice (Teacher/Peer). Students with hearing loss or auditory processing disorders may require the use of HAT for the teacher’s voice to remain constant, audible and accessible as they move around the room and ambient noise levels change within the classroom. Professionals and families are encouraged to refer to the educational audiologist serving the child for more in depth information on specific hearing technology recommendations.
