The other radio aid system worth evaluating is the Mikroport
system. These have built in microphones as well as input for a
lapel mike. Students have reported they pick up well in small
seminar groups. The Connevans system is good but you have to
use a seperate conference mike.
I think Equipment for Equality sell them, but am not sure if these

> Dear All
> I have just joined the dis-forum. The messages seem to be very technical
> and I realise that people seem to be co-ordinators rather than the
> students themselves. I wondered if anyone had any deaf students who had
> experienced problems in seminars and the solutions they came up with. I am
> expecting to enter on a postgraduate programme in Information Science or
> Management in September. In my undergraduate course and a previous MA I
> experienced a lot of problems following what was going on in seminar
> situations. I had a Phonak radio aid that worked well in straightforward
> lectures, and often wished there was a radio aid with multiple
> transmitters so that I could wire up all the group on seminars. I did try
> a portable inductive loop, but have never found loops very efficient for
> my type of hearing loss. I also once had a marvellous disability support
> worker who typed out what everyone was saying, though this meant I was
> always behind and couldn't join in the off-the-cuff discussions. Also the
> typing sound was picked up particularly well by my hearing aids, drowning
> out any speech I may have picked up! Any equipment advice would be much
> appreciated and any other advice for deaf students is always gratefully
> received! I would very much like to participate fully in my next course
> and would like to know if the seminar problem has been overcome. Thank you
