Acoustic Treatment Consultancy - Education

Recent studies show that many classrooms and school halls have poor acoustics.

 

As a result, children with normal hearing are often unable to make out what is being said in class.

​

While adults will guess at missing words, children find it much harder to fill in the gaps and their educational development can suffer.

​

Children with hearing impairment suffer even more and legislation is now in place for schools for cater for such children.

​

Poor acoustic conditions in the classroom increase the strain on teacher’s voices as most teachers find in difficult to cope with the high noise levels.

​

This often leads to throat problems due to prolonged use of the voice and the need to speak very loudly to be heard

​

Unfortunately , large numbers of classrooms and halls in the U.K currently suffer from poor acoustics.

​

Many classrooms and halls have hard floor, wall and ceiling surfaces. Although these look nice and clinical , the hard surfaces bounce noise around the room without dying away.

​

Again this leads to an amplification of the noise and make sound difficult to hear.
