I want to start this post by saying that BOTH FM Systems and Soundfield Systems can be excellent options for students with hearing loss.

Two weeks ago, I attended an excellent presentation on deaf education in Costa Rica. The presenters were listening and spoken language educators, one of whom completed her training at Fontbonne in St. Louis, MO, USA.

Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether or not a child with a hearing loss is presenting with a true speech and/or language disorder, or if the problems in their speech and language skills are due to hearing loss alone.
