All Kilparrin classrooms are fitted with Soundfield Systems. A Soundfield System is an amplification system that allows the teacher to speak at a conversational level but raises that level by ten to fifteen decibels evenly throughout the room.
Research has shown that those with normal hearing and with a hearing impairment can benefit from amplified speech sound systems. The vocal fatigue of Teachers is also reduced.
