HAT can improve a Deaf (hard of hearing) person's access to their environment by helping to increase the signal in noise ratio. You know the ability to hear someone talking - even if there is noise in the background or from across the room.

Of course HAT doesn't help everyone, but when it helps it's very beneficial. Please ask your audiologist what will work best with your hearing levels. Then share that information with your school and/or Teacher of the Deaf.
