Depending on the needs of the student, a variety of equipment is available to facilitate listening. Often, students who wear their own personal hearing aids at home, use personal FM systems at school. Students who have cochlear implants continue to wear those devices during the school day, but may also use sound field systems in classrooms. Hardware used in the program includes:


 * Personal FM Systems - Include receivers, which are worn by students to receive the speech signal and transmitters, which are worn by Staff to transmit spoken language to students.


 * Room FM Systems - Include Room Wall-mount Sound Field Systems and Desktop Sound Field Systems. Both amplify the teacher's voice to students in the room


 * Modified Alarm Systems - Bright, flashing lights
