8-Position Sound AlertTM
Monaural Listening Center
Model 1285G-08
Providing safe audio equipment |
|
for group-based environments |
|
is critical in aiding students to |
|
work and studytogether. The |
|
8-position Sound Alert Listening |
|
Center is the first of its kind to |
|
warn teachers and students |
|
when the audio that’s played |
|
through the jackbox to its |
|
headphones is louder than the |
|
American Speech-Language- |
|
Hearing Association’s |
|
recommended 85dB level. |
|
The center is ideal for |
|
supporting audio-assisted |
|
learning activities such as |
|
individual and group tutorials, |
|
literacy groups, language |
|
lessons, story-time, Special |
|
Education,and ELL/ELD learning |
|
applications. It includes the |
|
Sound Alert jackbox,eight matching2924AVGmonaural headphones and a |
|
rugged carry case. With the sound level controlled from its jackbox, the |
|
listening center can safely keep the volume to a safe 85 decibel level. |
|
When the jackbox volume exceeds 85 decibels, a bright red LED warning |
|
light turns on, alerting both the teacher and students about the unsafe |
|
sound level requiring adjustment. This visual cue not only helps correct the |
|
current situation, but will also help students learn safe and lifelong listening |
|
practices in school and extending beyond their academic careers. |
|
According to a March 2006 national poll commissioned by the American |
|
Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 40% of students reportedly set their |
|
music players’ volume too loud above 85 decibels, which is the level hearing |
|
experts recommend not be exceeded. If music can be heard coming from a |
|
student's headphone, the volume is too loud and the student is at risk of |
|
experiencing hearing loss. |
|
Hearing loss can lead to many problems in school including: difficulty with |
|
academic achievement in language arts, vocabulary, arithmetic, and problem |
|
solving. Students with hearing loss score lower on achievement tests, and |
|
have greater needs for special education or extra support in the classroom. |
|
The durable Sound Alert jackbox can also be used as a traditional jackbox |
|
without charging its battery, but the warning LED feature will not operate. |
|
The jackbox conserves its power by shutting off when no audio signal is |
|
present for 60 seconds and will power on automatically when there is an |
|
audio signal present. |
