Central Auditory Processing (CAP) refers to a group of skills, which we use to interpret and store what we have heard. CAP skills typically develop in the first five years of life along with receptive and expressive language. Children who have a delay or disruption in the development of these skills may have Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD).

Children suspected of having difficulties in communicating in noisy classrooms and especially those who have been diagnosed with Central Auditory Processing problems, typically show delays in learning and difficulties in following instructions. Noisy classrooms can affect a student’s learning and understanding capabilities. Other factors affecting the classroom environment include distance of child to the teacher and reverberation.

An efficient way of overcoming background noise problems is the use of an FM system.    A wirless FM system consists of a transmitter which picks up the voice of the speaker (in this case the teacher's) and sends it to the receiver (the child's listening device, which could be an ear type device or headphones).
