Hear and Learn recently completed a six-room new build at a prestigious independent school, reinforcing the importance of investing in a purpose-built solution for all audio needs in learning spaces.
Praised by the school’s head of IT as “excellent,” the SoundHouse delivers three key outcomes:
- Hearing augmentation – Recognising the growing use of hearing aids with built-in receivers from different manufacturers, the school required a universal solution. The SoundHouse seamlessly integrates with various platforms, including Phonak Roger, Resound, and Auracast-enabled devices. By capturing all inbuilt amplified audio—PA announcements, front office messaging, and audio from screens or projectors—our bespoke electronics ensure compatibility with any hearing aid receiver.
- Soundfield technology – The SoundHouse enables teachers’ voices to be captured and distributed through in-ceiling speakers, creating an immersive, theatre-like listening environment for all students, known as soundfield. The TCQ ceiling tile speaker replaces standard ceiling panels to provide uniform sound coverage.

This eliminates the need for additional speakers, such as soundbars or wall-mounted units, streamlining classroom audio systems.
By implementing this advanced, all-in-one solution, the school has future-proofed its classrooms, ensuring an inclusive learning environment for years to come.
