Hearing Augmentation for Class 9b builds in accordance to NCC and State Regulations by Hear and Learn 

This presentation explores the complexities of specifying hearing augmentation systems within educational environments, highlighting the inconsistencies that exist across State education departments, dioceses and independent school sectors.  

Attendees will gain an understanding of the legislative intent behind hearing augmentation requirements, why traditional approaches and legacy documentation may not always achieve compliant or future-ready outcomes, and the practical implications for architects, access consultants and electrical engineers. Through real-world examples and simple design principles, the session will provide guidance on navigating varying interpretations of the regulations, integrating hearing augmentation into project specifications, and equipping project teams and consultants with clear, adoptable information that supports inclusive learning environments for students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
