Oh I remember getting "black ball" if I didn't wear my FM system when I was in elementry school. I didn't get that often because even back then by the time I was in 4th-5th grade, I didn't really use FM system very much. Like some others mentioned, it must have been the IEP thing that got me out of it. I went back on it in middle school to give it another try... try I did and it didn't turn out well, so I knew it wasn't for me. FM system isn't for everybody. I had a college roommate who was also deaf at a hearing christian college and she relied on FM system and note takers. She was very embrassed about being deaf or labeled as hard of hearing that she goes to the extreme to pass off as an hearing person as much as possible. I found that kinda sad, although we got along pretty well back then and we still chat every now and then.
Again, good luck! I hope you get what you wanted so that you would be able to focus better in school. (FM system was a distraction for me.) Take care!
One thing for sure, yes, FM system is a distraction for me as well.
