A sound field system is an amplification system that provides an even spread of sound around a room. This is beneficial for deaf students, as they can hear the teacher’s voice clearly from wherever they are seated, even if the teacher is facing away from them. A parent of a deaf child might encounter the term “sound field systems” when discussing with their child’s school about implementing a sound field system in their classroom to improve the child’s ability to hear the teacher.
