For Teaching Assistance and Teachers of the Deaf who are working with students in schools听

Thank you to Dominic Caswell 听(DToD & Ed Aud) for the contribution
In my provision based in a mainstream school, we have 1:1 staff for supporting our HI students, all in one (large) room so having 4 different lessons sounds coming out of 4 different computer speakers is not going to be productive to anyone鈥檚 learning.听 We set up that each student uses their radio aid to hear the teacher and the TA/Ed Coms use the MyLink or MLx Audio checker (with Link) to 鈥渉op鈥� onto the students radio aid to listen in and then are able to support students鈥� This enables students to hear with the optimal clarity in a quiet environment 鈥� Just be aware that the TA devices use the 2.5mm audio port not the 3.5mm audio port so either the correct size headphone plug or an adaptor is required. Also it cannot be used while charging.

Furthermore, on the issue of talking to teachers when the audio port is used: when joining the 鈥渕eeting鈥� on the joining page, you can change the default microphone (and speakers etc) to a different device such as the computer鈥檚 microphone and not the audio port.
