Hi Sheila,<br>
An FM system is associated with hearing aids and uses a "directional
microphone" that another person can wear while speaking or placed in
the center of a conference table. It amplifies the sounds and sends
them directly into your hearing aids via a receiver. I find it very
helpful when walking with someone they can wear it and give me
directions and I can hear them whether they are beside me or behind
me because the FM system has a range of about 100 feet. I have
sometimes even left me classroom to go to the bathroom and the
teacher is wearing the microphone and depending on the proximity of
the restroom to the classroom. I can still hear the class discussion
in the restroom, even if I can not comment!<br>
Best,<br>
Janice<br>
