I did just fine with preferential seating and my aids. Haven't really worn one since 4th grade. (except in college when I had a VERY soft spoken professor) When I asked for use of a FM in college, disabilty services said that I was the first one in YEARS to ask for that accomondation.
When you were a kid and wearing them, did any of your hearing peers ever complain that it interfered with their ability to hear the teacher talking? I just never thought of it and I am really curious if that happens to the hearing students.
