The most effective Training Methodology for Hearit is a 3 step progression for the child which starts with individual therapy, moves to small group training and then on to a classroom orientation. This remediation technique for children with normal peripheral hearing or slight hearing loss has proven successful with children with phonological/central auditory processing disorders and language and learning delays/disorders/disabilities.

One on One

• The Hearit Perfect or the Hearit SE are used for remedial one on one training therapy.
• The classic use of Hearit for individual training is to read text aloud with the directional microphone hand-held near the speaker's mouth or worn under the chin on a lavalier. This auditory reinforcement technique is highly effective for extending attention and comprehension skills. Children with processing problems will oftentimes comprehend the text after the first reading, rather than the fourth or fifth time.
• 45 day trials are available upon request which provide the opportunity to confirm that the prescribed instrument(s) is effective.
• Documented case studies are provided on this site to demonstrate the effectiveness of Hearit with different disabilities.

Small Group

• The equipment extension for the Hearit Perfect or Hearit SE allows the instructor to provide training sessions for up to four students.
• Many clinicians report that training therapy in small groups is more motivational.
• It is important that the clinician also wear one of the headsets to better monitor the training progress of the students.

Classroom

• The Hearit Broadcaster with cordless headset microphone may be connected to the Hearit SE and provides the remedial instructor with a portable clinical broadcast system for the classroom setting.
• After successful individual or small group therapy with Hearit, remedial instructors report "losing their kids" when they return to the classroom without amplification. The Hearit Broadcaster matches the unique "crisp" frequency response of our clinical instruments and is used for phonic drills or any classroom learning activity that requires better attention and comprehension.
• When using the Hearit Broadcaster & Trainer, teenagers often comment that things sound weird or different. Their adjustment to hearing sounds more clearly may take a few sessions. It is important for the clinician to "hang in there" for the big league benefits that will follow with the child's new improved auditory perception.
• The use of the Hearit Broadcaster enables the student to adapt to a natural noise-filled environment while making speech predominant over noise.
• Don't miss the opportunity to have the students wear the cordless headset microphone when they read their book reports or during phonic training. Students often hear how they sound to others for the first time and are able to make immediate adjustments to their speech.
