Bringing all students to the front row
Studies indicate that school children with learning disabilities, such as poor attention, can greatly benefit from enhanced teacher voice projection via speakers. However, other studies suggest that such enhancements can lead to fatigue for both teachers and students, primarily due to sound reverberation in classroom environments. Our solution is a unique kit of bone conduction headsets that transmit an enhanced teacher’s voice while keeping students’ ears free.
Children hear the teacher’s voice in a natural, high-quality way while their ears remain unblocked.
The kit includes:
Several bone conduction headsets (Forbrain) connected to a receiver for students use.
Our technology seamlessly
combines patented voice
enhancement with real-time
transmission.
With bone-conducting headsets
that keep everyone’s ears free,
teachers and students can
maintain positive dynamics for
the whole classroom while also
creating an enhanced
experience for students who
need help.
Our Solution Benefits Students
Twenty-three percent of children are diagnosed with learning disability and require additional effort to focus on teacher’s voice.
By using Forbrain, students enhance their comprehension of the teacher’s voice while remaining fully aware of the classroom around them.
Our proprietary filtering system selectively amplifies and modulates specific phonemes to maximize student comprehension. This solution brings all students wearing the headset to the front row helping them better concentrate, understand, and integrate teacher lessons[1].

“Our published study¹ with Forbrain have proved that this technology can help students with auditory processing issue to better focus on voice.”

Also clear benefits for teachers
Seventy-three percent of teachers suffer voice-related complaints and experience vocal fatigue due to their daily work.
The Fobrain headset is equipped with a patented voice feedback system that can be activated by the teacher at any time.
Studies have proven that our technology significantly improves teachers’ vocal quality and alleviates vocal fatigue[2].

“This technology will be a powerful tool in reducing vocal fatigue and enhancing voice quality for teachers.”

How does it work?
The teacher and selected students wear a Forbrain headset connected to a portable, lightweight transmitter. When the teacher speaks, the child hears the teacher’s voice in real-time, enhanced with filtering and amplification. To combat vocal fatigue, the teacher can activate voice feedback like a regular Forbrain headset.
Once disconnected from the receiver/transmitter, the headphones work as a standalone Forbrain. They can be used while reading aloud or doing homework to better retain information.
How to use?
- General Enhancement: Use Forbrain for Groups to help children and aults with learning difficulties focus on the teacher’s voice, enhancing lesson retention.
- Educational Plans: Integrate Forbrain for Groups into IEPs and 504 Plans (USA), aiding auditory processing and attention in students requiring specific educational accommodations.
- Special Education and Tutoring: Implement Forbrain for Groups in special education and small group tutoring to improve cognitive skills, facilitating better learning integration.
- Therapeutic Intervention: Utilize Forbrain for Groups in therapeutic settings to enhance speech therapy outcomes and cognitive development.
About the equipment
The equipment is safe, lightweight, robust, and suitable for children to handle. Since bone conduction is the natural way of hearing our own voice, the sound remains natural with no risk of overstimulation. The teacher can decide to keep voice feedback off or activate it if they wish to better perceive their own voice.
A simple solution, backed by science
The FORBRAIN® headset is a clinically evaluated device whose effectiveness has been proven by several scientific studies. Our one-of-a-kind patented technology helps you achieve better results with little to no extra time and effort input. Through rigorous research it has been proven to aid with auditory processing, reading, comprehension, attention, speech and communication.
