THE KEY TO MY CHILDREN SERIES: HEATHER HEARD THAT is about a 3 year old girl who wears hearing aids. The school's Hearing Impaired Teacher also recommended Heather use an assistive listening device while in the preschool classroom. The device, or auditory trainer, required Miss Susan to wear a microphone close to her mouth while Heather clipped on a wireless receiver attached to her hearing aids. It allowed Heather to hear Miss Susan's voice over the surrounding noise. Miss Susan wanted to be sure Heather was comfortable her first day of school and not be self conscious about her hearing aids. She decided to make a fun game out of the auditory trainer Heather was wearing. The "fun" game turned into a "funny" game when Heather heard something not really intended for her to hear! Heather's key to learning is the auditory trainer which enables her to focus on the spoken language and to better her atttention and concentration.
