Advantage 1: Agility and future-proofing
Hearing Augmentation – or the transmission of the sources of auditory learning (including inbuilt amplified audio) to receivers built into hearing aids – must cater for all learners, teachers and visitors.
T-Switch / in-floor induction loops / personal induction loops do not work for all learners. The Federal Government supplies various hearing aids with different receivers. Hearing Augmentation solutions must be agile and not tied to any one transmission platform.
No reliance on learners using personal devices and no reliance on learners wearing additional stigmatising equipment. Schools maintain communal transmitters for the use of students, teachers and visitors, or they use their own.
Advantage 2: Compliance readiness
Federal Disability Law, Building Code and Govt/Diocesan/School policy is a complex blend of regulation. Just like we allow physical access to buildings via ramps, this blend of law supports the view that all auditory stimuli should be made available to the hearing impaired.
A performance-based solution is needed and a blend of regulation applies.
UConnect SoundHouse and UConnect Mini mean the sounds of teaching – PA, AV, and voices – can be delivered to the hearing impaired. True equity is achieved. Together with our HearAssist package, our performance based solution is compliance-ready and supported by expert opinion. Included: Bespoke and standards compliant Braille Tactile signs are provided.
Expert Access Consultant Report available upon request.
An example of one bespoke Code-compulsory Braille Tactile signs compliant with Australian Standards 1428.5 – 2010, Communication for People who are Deaf or Hearing Impaired allowing for comfortable viewing at the nominated distance. The height of our text is 20 mm which means we meet these standards.
Advantage 3: Best of breed support
We deliver a training and commissioning program beyond handover to ensure technical developments are known and that support is available. HearAssist is a program of face-to face, email and telephone support provided by Hear and Learn. It involves two phases: 1 at Commissioning post installation, and 2 ongoing training and education of staff.
We supply full post install support and training.
Advantage 4: Three in one functionality
With UConnect SoundHouse, our family of amplifier/receiver/ in-ceiling or on-wall speech intelligibility optimising speakers is used to achieve three outcomes:
One bundle handles AV, Voice and Hearing Aug.
Advantage 5: Easy install
UConnect SoundHouse and UConnect Mini come pre-built with all bespoke electronics built in to transform and balance audio, and allow quick connection to power, PA signals and AV. Power points are built-in too.
“This is the easiest and most logical hearing aug product I’ve seen. I particularly love the spring brackets on the hub basket. It’s so easy to install”
