Teaching middle school students is challenging  
(albeit rewarding) work. At Sands Middle School  
in Phoenix, Arizona, Librarian Mary McAskill  
faced more than the usual hurdles: compromised  
vocal cords and the ambient noise of an air  
conditioning system. Essentially forced to yell  
in order to be heard, her vocal cord problems  
became serious, while her students continued to  
tune out. (As any parent knows, adolescents and  
raised adult voices are like oil and water.)  
Just as rewarding to McAskill is the student  
response. “I teach them how to find books,  
conduct effective research, and use the  
computer lab, critical tools for their success.  
Now that students can hear me clearly  
over the air conditioner, they are more fully  
engaged.” The sound system has also proved  
useful for functions such as library-sponsored  
family reading nights, teacher presentations  
and in-services. “All and all, we are getting  
better, more effective use of our library,” says  
McAskill, and that, for any librarian is music  
to the ears.  
Surgery for a vocal cord implant helped McAskill  
regain her voice, but only amplification was going  
to master the ambient noise problem and allow  
her to resume her teaching schedule. Reading  
about a wireless sound system at another school,  
a solution seemed plausible.  
McAskill further researched the issue and found  
Listen Technologies. Impressed with their  
thorough assessment and quick response time,  
she arranged for a Listen representative to  
provide an on-site demonstration. She liked what  
she heard.  
The system, one that Listen refers to as  
a “soundfield,” employs a wireless collar  
microphone and two strategically placed  
speakers. McAskill can now teach in her normal  
speaking voice, doesn’t need to repeat herself as  
much, and can freely move about the room. “The  
sound quality is professional, the system isn’t  
goofy looking, and it literally saved my career,”  
she states, noting that despite her successful  
surgery, the possibility of going on disability was  
quite real. She likes it so much, in fact, that a  
behind-the-ear model microphone is next on her  
list to purchase for the system
