In 1978, Claudia Anderson’s two hard-of-hearing sons couldn’t hear their teachers, and no product on the market could fix it. So she designed a classroom sound system herself.
“When students can hear better, they learn better.”
01 The problem · 1978
Claudia Anderson needed a solution to an important problem: her two hard-of-hearing sons couldn’t hear their teachers. She wanted to maximize their learning and give them every educational opportunity they deserved. No product was available on the market at the time, so she designed a sound system for their classrooms.
02 The discovery
What started as an effort to help her own children quickly became something much bigger. As teachers used Audio Enhancement systems, they found that all students performed better with sound amplification, not only students with hearing loss.
03 The proof
Scientific research has since proven what those teachers discovered. Peer-reviewed studies on sound-field amplification are collected in our research library.
