No its a system where I get a mic, and then it goes right into their hearing aids. So I don't have to raise my voice. The TV is blarring most of the time around here because they need it loud to hear it. So now the FM system can transmit the sound right into their hearing aids (no other sounds around them just the TV). I put the mic near the speaker of the TV.

FM Listening Systems let teachers talk into a hand-held microphone, which transmits the sound of the teacher's voice directly to a deaf or hard of hearing child's hearing aid. This transmission happens on reserved radio spectrum 216-217 MHz. Many retailers of products for deaf and hard of hearing people carry personal FM systems.

This is the one my middlest uses at the regular school. It's pretty cool. Teacher has a mic headset and my daughter has boots to fit on her hearing aids. It's wireless as well.
