In 1978, Claudia Anderson needed a solution to an important problem: her two hard-of-hearing sons couldn’t hear their teachers. She wanted to maximize their learning and give them every educational opportunity they deserved. She designed a sound system for their classrooms, since a product was not available on the market at the time. What started out as an effort to help her own children quickly became something much bigger.

As teachers used Audio Enhancement systems, they found that all students performed better with sound amplification.
