Most classrooms aren't the ideal place for learning
Distance between a listener and an orator is one main enemy of clear hearing. “As speech sound travels away from the talking it loses 6db of amplitude for every doubling of distance.” Smaldino, J. J., Flexer, C (2012) Handbook of Acoustic Accessibility-Best practices for Listening, Learning, and Literacy in the Classroom. Thieme p20.
A large number of studies have reported on teacher preference for classroom audio distribution systems (CADS), including studies describing potential vocal health benefits for the teacher when an amplification system is used regularly.”
“Edwards and Fuen (2005) found that school teachers using CADS reported less vocal strain and greater voice clarity compared with experiences without amplification.” Smaldino, J.J., C.(2012). Handbook of Acoustics Accessibility – Best Practices for Listening, Learning, and Literacy in the Classroom. Thieme p60
