Solaris Personal FM system The Solaris personal FM system is a wireless FM transmitter and personal receiver system that works with hearing aids, cochlear implants, or headsets. Using a FM System involves speaking into a transmitter microphone, which sends a wireless FM signal that is broadcasted to the receiver. The signal is amplified and delivered directly to the listener by loud speaker(s) positioned around the room. As stand-alone hearing system it may help an individual to hear better anywhere that there is background noise, distance, and or echo that can interfere with understanding speech.

Tools for recording and playback may provide access to print materials such as books when auditory strengths are used. A variable speed tape recorder can especially helpful. Tape recordings of textbook chapters can be useful if the learner has reading levels below classroom peers, but has no difficulty with content. Volunteers, another learner or an efficient peer reader, can do tape recording. A tape recorder may be used for taking notes, recording lectures and assisting learners to express themselves for writing activities. |
